The film stars Jonah Hill and Michael Cera as Seth and Evan, two teenagers about to graduate from high school. Before graduating, the boys want to party and lose their virginity, but their plan proves harder than expected. Written by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, the script began development when they were 13 years old, and was loosely based on their experience in Grade 12 at Point Grey Secondary School in Vancouver during the 1990s.

The main characters have the same given names as the two writers. Rogen was also initially intended to play Seth, but due to age and physical size this was changed, and Hill went on to portray Seth, while Rogen portrayed the irresponsible Officer Michaels, opposite Saturday Night Live star Bill Hader as Officer Slater.

The movie begins with Chance, a rescue dog, has found a new home with a new family that saved him from the pound. The family itself is becoming bigger as Bob Seaver is marrying Laura Burnford. Chance is the pet to the youngest child Jamie. The other animals of the family is golden retriever Shawdow, who is the pet of the oldest child Peter, and Sassy a Himalayan cat who is the pet of second oldest child Hope.

Chance is unfortunately a selfish American bulldog who isn't interested in becoming part of the family and is only wanting to cause trouble every chance he gets. Shortly after the wedding the family leaves the animals with a family friend due to them having to move temporarily to San Francisco because Bob must relocate there for his job. After a week at the farm the animals begin to feel abandoned, prompting Shadow to make his way back home. Sassy and Chance both join him.

This begins their incredible journey into the Sierra Nevada, where they face so many challenges. One of which is crossing rivers, one river unfortunately claims Sassy, as she falls into the river and goes over a waterfall to her apparent death. Guilt-ridden, Shadow and Chance decide to go on without her. Sassy survives though, and found by an old man named Quentin, who nurses her back to health.

Over the next two days, Shadow and Chance try unsuccessfully to catch food and encounter a mountain lion, which chases them to the edge of a cliff. Shadow gets an idea to use rocks positioned like a seesaw as a way to outsmart the mountain lion. While Shadow acts as bait, Chance pounces onto the end of the rock and sends the mountain lion over the cliff and into a river. Sassy hears the dogs barking in celebration and follows the sound to rejoin them.

Filming took place in Munich from August to November 1970. Dahl was credited with writing the film's screenplay; however, David Seltzer was brought in to do an uncredited rewrite. Against Dahl's wishes, changes were made to the story, and other decisions made by the director led Dahl to disown the film. The musical numbers were written by Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley while Walter Scharf arranged and conducted the orchestral score.
