Amy Schumer wrote the film and stars as Amy Townsend as she commits herself to the esteemed orthopedic surgeon Aaron Conners, portrayed by the endearing Bill Hader. <em>Trainwreck <\/em>enlists a colorful group of supporting stars to compliment the story, with Brie Larson, John Cena, Tilda Swinton, and LeBron James all rounding out the talent. Schumer\u2019s sharp delivery paired with Apatow\u2019s knack for character-driven comedy is a dynamite combination that makes <em>Trainwreck <\/em>a winning spectacle. The film was nominated for two Golden Globe Awards, and was Apatow\u2019s first picture to do so.<br \/>\n <span class=\"related-single\">Related: Trainwreck Clip: LeBron James Is Bill Hader&#8217;s Wingman<\/span><br \/>\n <!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #6! --><br \/>\n<!-- Zone: every entry repeatable. --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"knocked-up\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Knocked_Up\"><\/span> <span class=\"item-num\">2 <\/span> Knocked Up<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"body-img responsive-img img-article-item\" style=\"padding-bottom:56.25%\">\n<figure>\n <picture>\n <!--[if IE 9]>\n <video style=\"display: none;\"><![endif]--><source media=\"(min-width: 1024px)\" sizes=\"750px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/image-w1280-(3)-4.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=750&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" sizes=\"943px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/image-w1280-(3)-4.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=943&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 481px)\" sizes=\"767px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/image-w1280-(3)-4.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=767&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" sizes=\"480px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/image-w1280-(3)-4.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=480&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><!--[if IE 9]><\/video><![endif]--><br \/>\n<img width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"image-w1280-(3)-4\"\/>\n <\/picture><figcaption class=\"body-img-caption\">Universal Pictures<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>  The universally acclaimed <em><strong>Knocked Up<\/strong> <\/em>was written, produced and directed by Judd Apatow and centers on the repercussions of a drunken one-night stand between a career-minded reporter and a resident slacker, culminating in an unintended pregnancy.

Portraying the titular 40-year-old virgin Andy, Carell\u2019s character is coerced by his electronics store co-workers to lose his virginity. Apatow was inspired to work with the funnyman after his amusing performance in <em>Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy<\/em>, and the film\u2019s premise is based on a sketch <em>The Office <\/em>alum created with The Second City. Carell\u2019s portrayal was celebrated among moviegoers, with a deep appreciation for his comedic and charming approach to the character. With a current Rotten Tomatoes approval rating of 85%, <em><strong>The 40-Year-Old Virgin<\/strong> <\/em>is arguably Apatow\u2019s most lauded and iconic movie and served as a monumental stepping stone for his prominent directing resume.<br \/>\n <!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #7! -->        <\/p>\n<p>                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        <!-- No winning ad found for zone: above next button! --><\/p>\n<div class=\"next-btn-img\">\n<div class=\"bc-img responsive-img img-article-next-btn\">\n<figure>\n        <picture>\n            <!--[if IE 9]>\n            <video style=\"display: none;\"><![endif]--><source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" sizes=\"320px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/article\/k35LTHr48B8Pv6ISZd6liAWvu5vDjV.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=320&amp;h=240&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" sizes=\"140px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/article\/k35LTHr48B8Pv6ISZd6liAWvu5vDjV.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=140&amp;h=140&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><!--[if IE 9]><\/video><![endif]--><br \/>\n                            <img width=\"1920\" height=\"1011\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"Borat 2 Star Maria Bakalova Joins Judd Apatow's Pandemic Comedy The Bubble\"\/>\n                    <\/picture>\n            <\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"next-btn-text lines-trim\">\n            <strong><span class=\"next-btn-text-title\">Borat 2 Star Maria Bakalova Joins Judd Apatow&#8217;s Pandemic Comedy The Bubble<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"next-btn-text-p\">Maria Bakalova, Pedro Pascal, and Karen Gillan are among the cast members named for Judd Apatow&#8217;s next comedy movie.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>        Read Next<\/p>\n<p>                                                <!-- No winning ad found for zone: below next button! --><br \/>\n        <!-- No winning ad found for zone: below sharing options! --><\/p>\n<p>    <strong class=\"section-sub-title\">About The Author<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"w-article-author-bio\">\n<div class=\"author-bio-text\">\n<p>            <strong class=\"bio-title\">Rachel Johnson<br \/>\n                                    <span class=\"amount\">(19 Articles Published)<\/span><br \/>\n                            <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>                            More<br \/>\n                    From Rachel Johnson\n                    <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>                <!-- No winning ad found for zone: below the author! -->\n                                <\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
