"Look, Debbie. You are
high off your ass if you think you're coming into that room. If
you take one step
towards that door, I will tell security
there's a crazy chick in a pink dress snatching up babies, OK!"

Why watch this? This
very funny film focuses on the consequence of a one-night stand.
Plot Summary:
Rising journalist Alison Scott's life is unexpectedly
complicated after a one-night stand with unemployed slacker Ben
Stone results in an unplanned pregnancy. Despite their
mismatched personalities and lifestyles, they decide to try and
build a relationship and prepare for parenthood for the sake of
the baby.
Dad's Preview: I will confess that
affable stoner Seth Rogan had to grow on me.
Now, I like the knucklehead, and I think it's because I see a lot of me in
there. Here he plays a partying dude, Ben. This sweet Apatow
movie covers Ben and Alison's one night together that results in
a pregnancy. Alison decides to keep the baby, and she wants to
involve the father, who is really a stranger to her. This film has a lot of fun focusing on Ben's
ignorance of fathering, his avoidance of responsibility, as well
as Alison's pregnancy
pangs and pains.
Still, there's a sweetness emanates from this film. It's sequel,
This is 40 (2012)
is even better!
