If anyone buys this, buy the R-rated theatrical release. Chances are that the Unrated version will be around forever and the theatrical release will fade away. I hate that I bought 40 Year Old Virgin unrated edition only to like the theatrical version much more and now I can't find that edition anywhere. It's stupid.

BUT the theatrical release doesn't come in a 2 disc version.  its an impossible decision.  it's Sophies Choice.
Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.

GT, Universal released a R-rated widescreen version of 40YOV.

The theatrical versions of both films could have used some pruning, but I'll be buying the 2-disc version anyways.

Thanks for that. I knew it was once available, but I thought it went OOP. I've looked at stores everywhere and even Ebay. It's a do'h moment to not have checked Amazon.

Oh man, the 2 disc edition is fucking awesome. The bonus features are so watchable and entertaining and hilarious.
Dr. Kuni gone wild is ALMOST funnier than the movie.

but....
I can't stand how certain scenes are altered from the theatrical release...I remember a bit about total recall that was replaced by the shining in this...Harold Ramis's scene, for some reason, is shortened...this stuff pisses me off.

just picked up the unrated extended version. for some reason there's a "knocked up" deck of cards in it(i guess condoms would be inappropriate?). Either way, I picked it up for the extras, and the "finding ben stone" segment is hilarious.  Michael Cera's and James Franco's firing segments are in it, as well as David Krumholtz(funniest one imo), Justin Long, Gerry Bednob, Orlando Bloom and Judd Apatow. 

I do like the theatrical cut better, but for my money i'd rather have all the bonus features.

How is the unrated and theatrical versions differ?

It's not as noticeably different as the 40YOV extended cut.  GT, I think it's safe for you to get this one. 

The movie is already over 2 hours long; the extra five minutes is so spread out (just an extra line or two in some scenes that you don't even notice it.  If this is a director's cut, then Apatow got almost everything he wanted in the theatrical cut.  If it's an extended cut, then good for him for keeping it as close to his own preferred cut as possible.

Katherine Heigl Calls Hit Comedy Knocked Up "Sexist"
Source: US Magazine

Katherine Heigl is knocking her summer hit Knocked Up for being "a little sexist.

"It paints the women as shrews, as humorless and uptight, and it paints the men as goofy, fun-loving guys," the actress — who just turned 29 — tells January's Vanity Fair.

"Ninety-eight percent of the time it was an amazing experience, but it was hard for me to love the movie," she says, even though the comedy elevated her asking price from $300,000 to $6 million for her next flick.

wow, 29? she feels so much older, she's too young to be labelling everything as feminist, especially wrongly. sounds like just another dumb actress to me.. unfortunate consequence of acting/modelling from a young age.

i don't think the movie did it, but she certainly is making herself look like a "humorless, uptight shrew" right here.

zing! conclusion: if a 98% amazing experience was not enough to love the movie, surely a 1000% pay raise would make you shut up about it.

down with heigl!

Katherine Heigl Clarifies Knocked Up Remarks

After knocking the movie Knocked Up, in which she starred, as being "a little bit sexist" in a recent interview, Katherine Heigl has clarified to PEOPLE that it was the "best filming experience of my career."

"It's important to me to take a minute and clarify the quote about Knocked Up in Vanity Fair," Heigl, 29, says in an exclusive statement to PEOPLE. "I was responding to previous reviews about the movie the interviewer brought to my attention. My motive was to encourage other women like myself to not take that element of the movie too seriously and to remember that it's a broad comedy.

"Although I stand behind my opinion, I'm disheartened that it has become the focus of my experience with the movie. The truth is, it was the best filming experience of my career. Every person that was a part of making Knocked Up helped to encourage, support and inspire me. I never intended for anyone to think otherwise."

In her earlier remarks, the Grey's Anatomy star said the film "paints the women as shrews, as humorless and uptight, and it paints the men as lovable, goofy, fun-loving guys. It was hard for me to love the movie."

to clarify the clarification:

she did mean it, she was just too dumb to realise how it would reflect on her.
