    Fall Down Funny

    by

    What can I say its like knocked up meets brides maids and is well worth the watch. My wife and I really enjoyed it but we liked knocked up and bridesmaids; that said if you didn't then you wont like this movie.

    Very Relatable

    by LARRYRVA

    While this movie may not be enjoyable for single 20 somethings, if you are married with kids you'll love this movie. The script and acting were spot on.

    WOW!

    by melissa_furtado

    I had a few good laughs in this movie, but overall I found it was too long and a lot of extra scenes were added and should have been edited out. I found myself getting frustrated at the movie as it progressed as it seemed it would never end. Like I said, We did have some laughs, but overall We were stunned by how much it lacked.

    Dark

    by laura383

    This movie, for me, was not the holiday comedy that I envisioned, but a dark and troubling film with some light moments. A real surprise for me, and not what I had in mind. All the actors played their roles well, and it was believable and true to life. But I wanted escapism, nit drama. My bad, should have chosen Jack Reacher.

    This is 40 is a no go

    by jr623

    I was disappointed. I expected more laughs. I felt like I was in the middle of another couples argument for 2 hours. Saving grace was Melissa McCarthy, she was a hilarious! If you go- stay for the out takes. I laughed harder here than the entire movie.

    40 is anger.

    by seanlbrennan

    If you're in a troubled relationship, then this movie might be just what you need to end it. The movie is basically 2 hours of awkward arguments with 15 minutes of laughs sprinkled in. Somehow the director found a way to make Jason Segel's scenes not funny...

    Don't get rooked in!

    by hilarykr

    I have never before seen a trailer so misrepresent a film. I thought I was going to watch another Apatow comedy, but instead I got Kramer vs Kramer! That was the most depressing film I've seen in years. I'm actually angry I sat through the whole thing.

    one of the worst movies ever

    by

    Left the theatre thinking "what the heck just happened?" this was just one of the worst movies ever, it didn't even flow together, it was like a hodge podge of un funny scenes thrown together. I want my money back!

    Bummer

    by moviesonlysooften

    We have waited a month for this movie to come into theatres. Loved similar films - Knocked Up, etc. Unfortunately, little time spent on the humor of married life in your 40s and more time spent on their depressing and sometimes bizarre family scenarios (really a house THAT well decorated and they can't afford the house?).

    Expected so much more...disappointed.

    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.

    Folks 40+ will enjoy it more

    by embolism

    I liked this couple from Knocked Up, so I was real happy to see this movie begin to be promoted a month or two ago.

    The topper for me was seeing Chris O'Dowd (from The IT Crowd). I think that Apatow missed a huge one-liner opportunity with Chris since there was so much technology/computer-centric things in the film. There were quite a few instances where someone could have had a problem with a laptop/computer and Chris would have said "Have you tried turning it off and then on again?" and it would have had me rolling on the floor! Even if it were just part of the bloopers during the credits at the end.

    In any case, there are enough really funny scenes that every couple who's been together awhile and in their 40's can relate to and giggle about.

    THIS IS THE MOST REALISTIC - This is 40, Review

    by AGuardianAngel

    I feel bad for saying so so because of the calibuer of actors/actresses in the movie. I was expecting to LMAO the entire time ! It had some points of laughter, and a Cameo that was hilarious, but you suffered through longggggg dragging parts to get to the laughter. It should of never been 2hr 14m long. If they cut out all the dragging parts, it probably would of been constantly funny.

    DEFINATELY NOT FOR KIDS - Opening Scene is having sex on viagara, in the shower, and other parts definately NOT for kids. I warned ya = ) When its Rated R, with parent or not, should not be allowed into the movies. Some people brought VERY young kids.

    The story and the family issues of being married, with kids and hitting those ruts, very true to life. If nothing else, you will leave the theater with tingly butt cheek, and thinking.... I really need to laugh more because your day to day routine, swallows you up.

    I think that this is A RedBox Rental
