When a New York exec travels to London he has a quick affair with a local. He goes back to New York, is on another date, when he receives a call from said local: I’m pregnant.
Catastrophe is the cleverly-written portrayal of a man deciding to have the baby with a woman whose last name he doesn’t know, and in a country where he barely knows anyone or anything. Naturally, hilarity ensues, as Rob tries to find his way through both parenthood, a relationship, and a new culture all at once; and Sharon tries to deal with a sudden pregnancy, the looks of her friends and relatives, and most importantly a big useless and strange man who suddenly moves in with her.
The thing about Catastrophe is that you’re getting the full unfiltered and untouched package: It’s a show created by Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney, written by Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney, and staring Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney (as Sharon and Rob). And like the predicament the characters they created, wrote, and played, find themselves in–the show is Horgan and Delanay’s baby, a product of love, and it’s so beautiful.

"Disagree 100% with this rating. My daughter and I saw this together, and both agreed it was one of the worst, most depressing movies we’d ever need. Daughter’s comment was “Why would anyone even MAKE that movie?!?”"
MexicanYenta"a little bit too ordinary and predictable but overall okay"
john"I LOVE THIS MOVIE. I cried rivers while watching it."
larinhazz"Great movie, justin Timberlake can act also which shocked me. Its surprising heartwarming and relatable to many I'm sure."
Wink"Severely disappointed, what a waste of our time. The whole plot seems to be based on the characters' stupidity, making one dumb and unrealistic choice after the other. Furthermore, the characters aren't likeable, the plot is predictable, the story moves really slow due to the one-shot format.. I can't comprehend why everyone is praising this movie so much?"
Jennie"V Japanese, great acting and really good camera work. A nice introduction to Hirokazu Koreeda, and if you like it you're sure to love his latest, After the Storm."
rapid"Man this movie is so hardcore. It's so gangster. It's amazing."
rapid"This is the movie we would show our kids to illustrate the "indie" era. Its focus is to portray a relatable storyline and relatable characters. Plot is not a priority."
rapid"For die-hard Christopher Nolan fans only."
rapid"Can't say I agree with the vouch % of this movie. I found it too worked. There were a couple of interesting moments but I couldn't get over the feeling I was being talked to as if I were a 3-year-old."
rapid"Actually one of the only comedies I've watched in recent memory that genuinely made me laugh. Like laugh-out-loud laugh."
rapid"If you grew up with an angry father, especially if they were black/brown/etc - you will find a home in Denzel's perfect portrayal of the main character. For that alone, this movie deservers the highest praise."
