Starring Seth Rogen, Katherine Heigl, Paul Rudd, and Leslie Mann, the film follows the repercussions of a drunken one night stand between Rogen’s slacker character and Heigl’s just-promoted media personality character that results in an unintended pregnancy. The film was rated a 15 in Britain for strong language, nudity, sex references and drug use.

Production

Several of the major cast members return from previous Judd Apatow projects. Seth Rogen, Martin Starr, Jason Segel and James Franco all starred in the short-lived, cult television series Freaks and Geeks which Apatow produced. From the Apatow-created Undeclared (which also featured Rogen, Segel and Starr) there is Jay Baruchel and Loudon Wainwright III . Paul Feig, who co-created Freaks and Geeks and starred in the Apatow written movie Heavyweights, also makes a brief cameo as the Fantasy Baseball Guy. Steve Carell, who makes a cameo appearance as himself, co-starred alongside Rogen and Rudd in Apatow’s The 40-Year-Old Virgin, as well as appearing in the Apatow-produced Anchorman. Finally, Leslie Mann, who also appeared in The 40-Year-Old Virgin, is married to Apatow and their two daughters play her children in the movie.

Anne Hathaway was originally cast in the role of Alison in the film, but dropped out due to creative reasons that Apatow attributed to her disagreement to plans to use real footage of a woman giving birth. Jennifer Love Hewitt, Mila Kunis, and Kate Bosworth auditioned for the part after Hathaway dropped out but ended up losing to Katherine Heigl
