The real Leslie Mann was born in 1975, married to Judd Apatow and gave birth two daughters quite young. As an interesting actress, she also supports in some indie films, such as another coming soon indie film from Sundance of 2011 Little Birds (Juno Temple).

I love Paul Rudd but this looks dull.

I think bringing "Knocked Up" into this is a mistake. This trailer doesn't feel like it connects tonally to "Knocked Up", leaving one with the impression that it is an unfunny sequel (and missing the main characters from the original to boot!) rather than its own unique project that should be judged on its merits.

With the exception of the last scene, this trailer feels more like a James Brooks style dramedy than a straight up, "Knocked Up" style comedy. That's not a bad thing, but the whole reference to "Knocked Up" really muddies the waters and feels like a lazy grab for the audience's attention that could ultimately backfire.

Apatow seems pretty insistent on making his wife Leslie Mann the star nobody asked for. She stunk up Funny People and is doing the exact same role here. You have to wonder if Apatow is capable of working with actors outside of his inner circle and immediate family.

I found Leslie Mann's character insufferable in "Knocked Up"…
Will I wanna see a whole movie about her?

Not sure how funny any of this was until Paul Rudd and the payback scene. Hopefully Judd has something up his sleeve here and isnt as predictable as we all think its going to be.

Oh look another sort-of-comedy from Apatow…looks predictably bland. Doubt Paul Rudd will be enough to save this.

I really hope that picture is used as the poster. And that last scene with Paul Rudd's legs in the air, priceless.
