    Laugh hard!

    by

    It was way better than I expected, and funnier, too! You have to stay through the credits, the out takes we're priceless, and maybe the funniest part!

    Don't waste your money.

    by luny2nz383

    We would have walked out if we weren't there with another couple. When we got outside they said the same thing-lol.
    I honestly cannot understand the good reviews. To each his own I guess.

    Well how would u title this,

    by Jhop354

    This is a basic film of today's family. If you like watching dis functional family at hand then this is the movie for you, of course they added a basic story line to it basically to keep you interested. Its a very long movie for what it is about and would not recommend it to anyone.

    Sad :(

    by ANGELADINGMAN

    Disappointed in this movie. The previews were great, but when we went to see it, I almost fell asleep. I love movies and this one needed some help.

    This is 40 review

    by

    I went to see this movie with my 76 year old mother and her 82 year old boyfriend. They didm;t understand why the nudity & vulgar language. It was too long ago for them to remember the stresses of raising a young family while watching most signs of your youth disappear. It takes a toll as does caring for an older parent financially.The couple try very hard to take care of the entire family but when business is failing, choices must be made. Family is a tender beast that will attack without provocation. Other family members are too busy with their own lives to find a place for an estranged relative because it brings up too much pain within themselves or anger of having been treated so badly. This movie is a fun lesson in compromise, how to adjust & readjust due to life's surprises. I enjoyed the move & enjoyed seeing how the characters had evolved. Good move, but you may consider leaving the older seniors home for this one. LL

    Long but not boring

    by Pspain09

    I thoroughly enjoyed the entire 2 hrs and 15 min of this movie. Very funny, especially to the over 40 crowd who can relate. I didn't feel bad for paying $10 (plus the stupid Fandango fee) to see this. That's how I rate my movies. Are they worthy? I would see it again.

    A Clear Picture of Life at 40, with the Pleasures and ManyPains that comes with It.

    by Geek Soul Brother

    Apatow does his thing again! He makes a comedy out of an introspective story about real people. If you are married and in your 40s, or even close to it, you will probably get more of a snapshot of your life than laughs. It was funny at times, but not drop dead funny. Melissa McCarthy was hilarious as always though. The good part was that Rudd and Mann give believable performances as the married couple from KNOCKED-UP that are still trying to figure themselves out in this phase of life - with kids, mortgages, careers and sex. The problems they had were things an audience could connect to.They could have cut 10 minutes off the film to move it along quicker though. Still, I enjoyed the ups and downs, and the reconciliations the characters had to go through. It may not hit the funny bone like you thought walking in, but it will make you feel something walking out. Don't miss the outtakes. Geek Soul Brother gives this film 3 out of 5 Cosmic Afros.

    This is Not 40 for Me

    by

    Mildly entertaining in some parts, but supremely annoying in others. Paul Rudd plays the mambie pambie son to a loser mooch of a dad. Leslie Mann is barely likable, and together, she and Rudd are dishonest with each other, which makes for a really unappealing plot. The daughters in the movie provide many of the funniest moments, but the older one winds up making me want to smack her smart mouth.

    Funny Documentary for age 40 life

    by dariondanjou

    This movie nailed the trials of age 40 married life on the head. Old enough to have teens, young enough to still get pregnant, it's a whirlwind of responsibility and irresponsibility and it's all very very funny and sad at the same time. I love that this movie gets the idea that it's problems don't have to be resolved to make an entertaining movie. the sadness and the drama are all part and parcel of the happiness package. movie takes all of this accurate reflection of the state of 40 age affairs and packs it into hilarious anecdotal scene after anecdotal scene. there's very little story structure. i'm pretty sure the creators just brainstormed every iconic snippet of 40s life, and threw it in caricature form into one week of these people's lives. and it is just very very funny. go enjoy!

    Horrible!

    by Samily's_Mom

    Was excited to see this movie with my girlfriends of the forty-something crowd and was highly disappointed! It had a few funny lines but I really wanted to walk-out. It was even hard to sit still and one girlfriend fell asleep. In my opinion, not even a DVD watching movie.

    Parenting 301 - Acting Out Loud

    by MeanMom1

    These woven parenting and marital snippets, are the stuff of real marriages. Outrageous and tender, it may make the movie seem long to someone expecting nonstop laughs. So, money, sex, parenting, getting-high, aging, in-laws, smoking, dieting, music tastes, lying, etc. If any of these things (or all) are issues in your marriage, and you can laugh about them this is a must for you.

    There is a stellar cast: from the 60-year-old father of triplets, Albert Brooks; down to the youngest daughter, Iris Apatow, who gives more than she gets and displays strength at an awkward age. The teenage daughter, played by Maude Apatow, gives typical teen angst a good-girl twist, which is then torn apart by parent-taught profane anger. Melissa McCarthy's over-the-top scene is hysterical, but watching Leslie Mann and Paul Rudd first attack her son, then her, and getting away with it is so rich.

    this is 40

    by pschneit

    slow start. had some funny moments. the trailers and the outakes at the ending credits that we saw were the best part of the movie.
    the leads in the movie were good. the kids were funny, specially the older daughter. melissa macarthy was hilarious. more thought provoking about middle age than funny.

    Boring!

    by FiFiFranklin

    What a waste of time! This is not the funny movie you think it is going to be. There is way too much bad lanquage as well.

    Wait for DVD

    by Freddie Othello

    While there were some very funny moments in this movie it had no continuity. Several scenes should of been cut. It seemed like Judd Apatow wanted to give his friends a cameo even if it didn't pertain to the story. Also these characters were annoying. I love Paul Rudd but in this movie I thought he was a real ****. Leslie Mann's character was so annoying it's small wonder Paul Rudd didn't want to have sex with her, The kids whine and the father in laws are worthless weenies. The only saving grace is Melissa McCarthy who almost reprises her bridesmaids role.

    Tedious and annoying

    by benrubenstein

    If you enjoy listening to a couple and their two children scream at each other for two hours, then "This is 40" is the movie for you. Throw in a few scenes of bathroom humor just to add insult to injury. It had some individual funny moments, but not enough to save this movie. I loved "Knocked Up" and other Apatow films.
