    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.

    Very down to earth

    by the_stachinator

    enjoyed the movie. was very down to earth and realistic in its portrayal of a married couple.the only thing i did not like was the young daughter cussed the entire time. pretty ridiculous for a 15 year old to say F***.

    Everyone Can Relate

    by Nutt32

    This movie was great because everyone can relate to one of the characters in the movie. The problems the married couple encounters make you say "yeah I know how that is". This movie was a feel good and Paul Rudd did an excellent job as always. This is a movie I could see with my mom or dad and both of them could get it and have a good laugh. Wether your married or not you can relate to the couple in this film if you have ever been in a relationship. This film helps you laugh at yourself and how silly we all can be when in relationships. If you want to see a movie that makes you laugh and lets you know that relationships are a little crazy and its just not you go see this film.

    Just ok...

    by

    Took a long time for the plot to develop...never felt like it really ever exposed itself. There are some ridiculously funny (and ridiculous) scenes in the movie, but felt like there was too much use of the F word, just for the sake of using the F word.

    All in all...I wish I would have spent the money to see something else.

    Definitely not for kids!

    Lightweight Fare

    by Reel_Deal_Gal

    If it weren't for Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann I would have been snoring long before I was, which was about 2/3 through this overly-long (by at least 30 minutes) film. The material was not good enough to be carried even by Rudd and Mann. Their kids, played by Judd Apatow's own kids were pretty cute and adequate. Albert Brooks, as Rudd's dad, was so annoying, I could barely stand to watch the scenes with him and Rudd. A few laughs, yes, but not memorable in any way.
    And if I see Melissa McCarthy being Melissa McCarthy one more time in one more movie, I'm offing myself.
    I'd give it 2 1/2 stars out of 5. Maybe 3, tops. But then I've seen so many GOOD and entertaining films lately, this can't hold up.

    Not what I expected

    by MOTORCYCLISTENGINEER

    Be aware that the trailer shows just about all of the humor. The rest of the movie is drawn out and depressing and lasts 2 hours and 3 minutes. I would have walked out, but I didn't want to wake up my girlfriend. Don't expect a movie anywhere on the level of Knocked Up.

    This is Horrible

    by divatobw

    The lead characters are so vapid and narcissistic that it's painful to watch. Add to that the hateful and demeaning manner in which they talk to and treat each other, this movie is a horrible waste of time.

    A Bit Long

    by jpmlv

    Smart witty but it ran a bit long and the ending felt like a wrap up sitcom package. It also reminded my why Californians are devoid of any soul.

    This is 40

    by RICKH82

    This movie was very well done... Great acting by all characters. BUT...The F-Bomb was very close to being way over used. My wife and I, several times, were really enjoying the movie and then there would be a barage of F-Bombs in a scene that would ruin the moment for us. As we were leaving the theater, we over heard about five people make the same comment.

    Fantastic!

    by dannypants

    This was a brilliantly acted film! Very real, very touching. And surprisingly the teenage girl was one of the stars of the film! This is a MUSTY GO! I thought it would be cute but it was GREAT!

    Wait for it to come to DVD or TV

    by Ritarneo

    I was really looking forward to this - thought it would be funny. Looking for a fun movie for New Year's Eve. The funniest parts are in the trailer and those WERE NOT INCLUDED IN THE MOVIE! There is a lot of family dialogue that begins and ends with screaming "Shut up" at one another. By the middle of the movie had wished I had gone to see "Guilt Trip" instead.

    I really liked this movie!

    by CrewsMommy

    This movie is a little longer than normal, but I never checked my watch once. The story kept me engaged the entire time. It was not as slapstick funny as I thought it would be. It had a lot of funny parts with a lot of real life thrown into it as well. I thoroughly enjoyed it! My husband and I looked at each other several times throughout nodding and smiling! The cast is INCREDIBLE! The movie is relatable and believable. Be forewarned, there is a lot of language, so if that's not your thing, I don't recommend this for you. If you don't mind language though, go see this movie!

    Not what I expected, but very entertaining

    by dahandyguy

    My wife and I went to see This is 40 expecting a comedy, and although the movie has many very humorous parts it is actually much more about the issues most married couples face dealing with their relationship, raising kids, and the typical problems they face.

    We both enjoyed it and thought it was a great way to spend a snowy Saturday afternoon.

    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.
