[edit] Plot
John (Will Arnett) and Dean (Will Forte) are two sheltered happy-go-lucky brothers who want nothing more than to please their ailing father (Lee Majors). Deciding a grandson will do the trick, the clueless boys set out to find a woman who can give them a baby. Finding Janine (Kristen Wiig) on Craigslist, the brothers find the woman of their dreams, artificially inseminating her and spending the next nine months on a roller coaster of life, facing romantic and parental challenges along the way that are no match for their sunny attitude
[edit] Production
The tag line on the poster, "They want to put a baby in you" may be an allusion to the 2005 song "I Put A Baby In You" by Robby Roadsteamer.
