 Tagline: What if this guy got you pregnant?
Writer / director/producer Judd Apatow has built his reputation over the past two decades with a style of comedy that weaves the relatable with the hilarious—in short, his comedy is outrageous, honest and human. As an award-winning creator of television programs and theatrical films, Apatow has shown a consistent ability to take awkward situations we face in our own lives and mine them for optimal laugh-out-loud reactions from an audience.
Apatow’s gift for comedic storytelling was fully realized in summer 2005 with the critically hailed and box-office blockbuster The 40-Year-Old Virgin. This film directorial debut told a heartwarming story of love, friendship and sexual curiosity, and introduced the world to the then largely unknown Steve Carell.
David Denby of The New Yorker was one of a slew of critics who fell for the comedy, calling it “truly dirty and truly romantic at the same time, a combination that’s very hard to pull off.” The film was nominated for and won a number of awards— including top-ten ranking from the American Film Institute in 2005 and a WGA nomination for Apatow and Carell for Best Original Screenplay.
