On the website eHow, the writers give people the instructions, tips, and warnings on writing a successful romantic comedy like Knocked Up. The writers lay out 5 steps which include a brief description of what to put in the screenplay and what order each action should be placed in the movie. The writes also give people a few tips and warnings like "Strive for having a few big comedic moments. The orgasm scene in "When Harry Met Sally" or the zipper scene in "Something About Mary" are great examples of memorable comedic moments in a romantic comedy.
