Pudgy, idle Ben (Rogen) enjoys a night of groin-grinding excitement with stunning, career-minded Alison (Heigl) after they meet in a boozy LA nightclub. Knocked Up, Apatow's latest smash, attempts to mine humour from an all-too-familiar comic scenario. Yup, Judd Apatow got his break penning funnies for Roseanne Barr. That's pretty good going for a man who started his career writing jokes "as if I were an overweight, middle-aged housewife". And his well of humour hasn't dried up yet: next year, no fewer than six movies will bear his name on their production credits. This gentleman - an unassuming, slightly nerdy New Yorker - wrote, produced and directed The 40-Year-Old Virgin, snagged production credits on a couple of better-than-average Will Ferrell flicks ( Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby and Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy), and leant his creative nous to Superbad, the most hyped comedy of the autumn. Over the last few years, one film-maker has tickled the world's funny bone like a clown on speed. I, too, am usually looking at the houses and decorating details in the movies as much as following the story itself, but, though I saw Knocked Up years ago, I didn’t remember this one.Starring: Seth Rogen, Katherine Heigl, Paul Rudd, Leslie Mann, Jason Segel, Steve Carell

And I, for one, would definitely need room for books! I usually don’t like the look of a TV over the fireplace, but it looks nice and symmetrical here, and I like the painted paneling on the walls and the painted plank ceiling.

More real, I think, is as shown in the movie houses with the mix of books and accessories. My favorite look is the real house with the blue and white, and though I love the look of those pitchers on the shelves, it’s a little too decorated. I love the kitchen (though marble countertops are out of my range). Visit my Houses Onscreen page to see the other movies I’ve featured, listed A-Z.Įven though this is a Hollywood house (well, Brentwood, actually, but you know what I mean) and two to three times the size of most average houses, it is decorated in ways accessible to many. Visit Radin’s website and check his portfolio under “Brentwood” to see them. Designer James Radin worked on this house and has photos of it in his portfolio. Would have been nice to see how they’re using it now!Ĭheck out The Hollywood Reporter article about it (photography by Jessica Chou). No sign of her or the pool house in the sequel. In Knocked Up Katherine Heigl, who played Debbie’s sister and best friend, lived in their backyard pool house. Oddly enough, in the new movie there was no sign of Katherine Heigl, who played Debbie’s sister and best friend in the first one. They weren’t allowed to film upstairs in the house, so some rooms were re-created on the Sony lot. It’s a big house with 6 bedrooms and 6,500 square feet. They ditched the drab window treatments in the kitchen and family room that were there in the first movie.Īll of the decorating was punched up a bit between the first and second and just looked fresher and more current. ‘That’s shorthand that this is a family with a lot of life.'” ‘You want it to be fun and vibrant,’ says Pope. They decided on a palette of greens, corals and melons. “Pope and production designer Jefferson Sage redecorated to suit the fictional family, which has two daughters. They took over the house for 6 weeks to film the movie: The producers couldn’t find a house, and Giuliana was like, ‘You should call my brother-in-law.’” “My sister-in-law is Giuliana Rancic, and in Knocked Up, Katherine Heigl played a character like her, and they went to E! to scout. Zuriff explains how they found his house in the first place: Apatow lives just up the street (‘Our kids are friends,’ says Zuriff), and the director had used their pad as the home of Rudd and Mann’s characters in 2007’s Knocked Up.” “Director Judd Apatow shot a good portion of the movie in a Brentwood house owned by producer Bryan Zuriff and his wife Monica. Oscar-nominated set decorator Leslie Pope told The Hollywood Reporter, “It’s gotten quite a response.” My readers aren’t the only ones who thought the house was one of the best things about these movies. “This Is 40” focuses on Pete and Debbie from “Knocked Up ,” who live here. The House from “This Is 40” and “Knocked Up” Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann’s Pete and Debbie live in the same great house in Brentwood, California, that they did in the first movie. Almost the minute the movie This Is 40, a “sort-of sequel to Knocked Up,” hit theaters, the emails started pouring in from readers wanting to know more about the house in it.
