Iris Apatow

An animated movie about one sausage's quest to discover the truth about his existence.

Over the past years, writer/director Judd Apatow (The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up) has shown that nothing - not even losing your virginity or the miracle of childbirth - is sacred. About his third film behind the camera, he says. ``I`m trying to make a very serious movie that is twice as funny as my other movies. Wish me luck!`` Apatow directs Adam Sandler, Seth Rogen and Leslie Mann in Funny People, the story of a famous comedian who has a near-death experience.

For fun-loving party animal Ben Stone, the last thing he ever expected was for his one-night stand to show up on his doorstep eight weeks later to tell him she's pregnant with his child. When Alison Scott is promoted in E. Television, she goes to a night-club to celebrate with her older married sister Debbie. Alison meets the pothead reckless Ben Stone and while having a small talk with Ben, Debbie's husband Pete calls her to tell that their daughter has chicken pox. Debbie leaves the place but Alison stays with Ben, drinking and dancing along all night; completely wasted, they end up having a one night stand. Ben does not use a condom and eight weeks later, Alison discovers that she is pregnant. She calls Ben and they decide to try to stay together and have the baby. However, Ben needs to grow up first to raise a family of his own.
