Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT This Is 40 sees the return of characters from the 2007 comedy, Knocked Up. Both films are directed and written by Judd Apatow and feature comparable storylines. Knocked Up was largely focused on Alison and Ben as they navigate life as soon-to-be parents, despite their ill-timed circumstances. Knocked Up also stars Leslie Mann as Alison's sister, Debbie, and Paul Rudd as her husband, Pete.
None of Jodi's dialogue mentions her roommates from Knocked Up, but in a humorous confrontation between Jodi and Debbie, audiences learn the character still uses drugs. Debbie discovers Jodi stole money from the company and while firing her, she mentions a previous time when Jodi babysat Debbie's children while under the influence of drugs. Jodi appears to be unbothered by her actions and, due to her odd behavior, it's assumed she's high during their conversation.
5 Jason Played by Jason Segel Ben's group of friends in Knocked Up consists of characters played by Martin Starr, Jonah Hill, Jason Segel, and Jay Baruchel. Each actor has appeared in other Apatow productions, but only Segel returned in This Is 40 as his character Jason. The version of Jason in Knocked Up spent most of his days at home and smoking marijuana.
Sadie is 13 years old by the time This Is 40 takes place and her teenage view of the world adds additional stress to an already tense period for Debbie and Pete. Debbie decides to change the family's lifestyle, which includes minimized screen time, but Sadie struggles the most with this change. She enjoys spending her time binge-watching the entirety of Lost and chatting with her friends on social media.
2 Debbie Played by Leslie Mann Helping Alison through her unplanned pregnancy in Knocked Up, Debbie's relationship is a minor part of the film's overall story. She momentarily suspects Pete is cheating on her, and though he wasn't, Debbie finds herself hurt by the fact that he feels as though he needs to lie about his whereabouts. The contention between Debbie and Pete acts as a reminder for Alison of what she doesn't want her relationship with Ben to turn out like.
