- Quotes
Debbie: I'm not gonna go to the end of the fucking line, who the fuck are you? I have just as much of a right to be here as any of these little skanky girls. What, am I not skanky enough for you, you want me to hike up my fucking skirt? What the fuck is your problem? I'm not going anywhere, you're just some roided out freak with a fucking clipboard. And your stupid little fucking rope! You know what, you may have power now but you are not god. You're a doorman, okay. You're a doorman, doorman, doorman, doorman, doorman, so... Fuck You! You fucking fag with your fucking little faggy gloves.
Doorman: I know... you're right. I'm so sorry, I fuckin' hate this job. I don't want to be the one to pass judgement, decide who gets in. Shit makes me sick to my stomach, I get the runs from the stress. It's not cause you're not hot, I would love to tap that ass. I would tear that ass up. I can't let you in cause you're old as fuck. For this club, you know, not for the earth.
Debbie: What?
Doorman: You old, she pregnant. Can't have a bunch of old pregnant bitches running around. That's crazy, I'm only allowed to let in five percent black people. He said that, that means if there's 25 people here I get to let in one and a quarter black people. So I gotta hope there's a black midget in the crowd.
- Crazy creditsBaby photos of the cast and crew are shown during the closing credits.
- Alternate versionsIn the UK theatrical release, during the first scene where the guys work on their website, the material regarding Short Cuts was replaced by a skit on Total Recall and the three breasted lady, containing Jason's impression of Arnie saying "damn it Cohaagen, give dem di ayer". This scene is absent from both region 1 and 2 DVDs, and only the Short Cuts is included. The Total Recall bit doesn't even appear in deleted scenes, meaning it seems to have vanished.

The movie has a simple premise: two people who are seemingly "living the dream"--Alison, an E! Channel Correspondent and Ben, a half-witted, pot-smoking celebrity nude website administrator along with his five estranged friends whom he also lives with--decide to hook up for a fateful one night stand after meeting at a night club. They do the nasty, and the two part ways after that. The story picks up once again 8 weeks later, as Allison finds herself pregnant with what she hilariously discovers to be Ben's child. At once we as the audience sympathize, even empathize with her at her situation with Ben and the pregnancy. As the movie proceeds we find ourselves riding through the radically changing lives of Ben and Alison from the moment that she breaks the news to him that he's the father to when they fall for each other to the "irreconcilable differences" and finally to the painful and slow phase of "growing up" and facing each other's, as well as their own, fears to accept and uncover the joys of giving life and becoming parents.
Seth Rogen and Katherine Heigl do a wondrous job of being the two people that "life came straight at, not caring about their plans". Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann, portraying Alison's brother-in-law and sister, are fantastic supporting cast as we often find parallels between the two couples and how they are something of "elders" that show Ben and Alison what it's like to be parents, working both against and for them. Hell, the entire cast is incredible, the comedic timing is impeccable. And Judd Apatow, the man behind the 40 Year Old Virgin, has created yet another heart-warming laugh riot that is its own creation, not simply a rehash of the 40 Year Old Virgin as some would be led to believe.
