Publisher's Synopsis
A collection of US feature comedies. In 'Definitely, Maybe' (2008) Will Hayes (Ryan Reynolds) is a 30-something father who is in the middle of a divorce when his 10-year-old daughter, Maya (Abigail Breslin), asks him to describe his life before he married her mother. For Maya, Will recounts his past as an ambitious young politician. He also recalls relationships he had with three very different women, changing their names so Maya has to guess who the woman is that her father finally married. Is her mother Will's college sweetheart, Emily (Elizabeth Banks)? Or his longtime best friend and confidante, April (Isla Fisher)? Or is she the free-spirited and ambitious journalist, Summer (Rachel Weisz)? In 'Did You Hear About the Morgans?' (2009) Paul and Meryl Morgan ( Hugh Grant and Sarah Jessica Parker) are a high-powered, stressed-out Manhattan couple whose glossy lives have only one major flaw: their failing marriage. In fact, the Morgans are teetering on the verge of divorce. But when they witness a murder and become the targets of a notorious hitman, they are forced to enrol in the Witness Protection programme and are relocated to a small rural town in Wyoming. As they struggle to adapt to this extreme change of scene, the Morgans are forced to re-examine their relationship. In 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall' (2008), when struggling musician Peter Bretter (Jason Segel) is dumped by his long-term girlfriend, TV star Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell), he goes into a downward spiral. After a clumsy attempt at becoming a lothario backfires, he almost loses his job when he has a nervous breakdown. In a last ditch effort to put the past behind him, Peter heads for the sun-soaked beaches of Oahu for a well-deserved holiday. Everything goes swimmingly until Sarah turns up at the exact same resort accompanied by her new boyfriend, the wildly successful rock star, Aldous Snow (Russell Brand)... In 'Knocked Up' (2007) slacker Ben (Seth Rogen) and up-and-coming career girl Alison (Katherine Heigl) meet at a bar and end up having a one night stand. Eight weeks later, Ben is shocked when Alison asks to meet up with him and reveals that she is pregnant. Despite having little in common, the two decide that they have to at least try to make some kind of relationship work for the baby's sake. In 'The Ugly Truth' (2009) Heigl stars as Abby Richter, a romantically-challenged TV producer whose fruitless search for Mr Perfect has left her terminally single. When she becomes reluctantly embroiled in a series of outrageous tests devised by chauvinistic correspondent Mike (Gerard Butler) to prove his theories on relationships and supposedly help her in her quest for love, she is taken aback by the dramatic - and unexpected - results. 'You, Me and Dupree' (2006) stars Owen Wilson as slacker Randy Dupree, best man to his friend, Carl (Matt Dillon), at his recent wedding to the beautiful Molly (Kate Hudson). As Carl and Molly settle down to married life, their newlywed bliss is rudely interrupted when Dupree reveals that he's lost his job, his house, and even his car, all because he took the time off for Carl's wedding. Crashing in their spare room, Dupree's outrageous antics soon test Carl's notions of friendship to the limit.
