    FUNNNNYYYY

    by linwin64

    I laughed so hard at time I had tears running down my face. It is a great Married Couple movie. Make it a date night and you will be talking about it during the ride home.

    Terrible!

    by TinPanAri

    Narcissistic, unlikeable characters. A plot that goes nowhere. A movie that can't decide if it's a gross-out comedy or an overwrought family drama. And it lasted WAY too long! Don't waste your time and money.

    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.

    Way funny!

    by my5pets

    Great movie! Lots of true to life scenes, situations we all may find ourselves in at times. Plenty of humor to make the most awkward times bearable! Definitely worth seeing! Loved all the characters, especially the children!

    Depressing and probably only interesting if your in your 40s

    by castine239

    My boyfriend and I went to watch this movie thinking if would be funny like the trailer.
    More the opposite it was frustrating to watch everyone fight and half way through we both wanted to leave. After staying for the rest of the movie we both don't want kids anymore and I'm not going to see a Paul Rudd movie anymore for a while. Not at all what we expected and horrible acting.
    It might be semi interesting for people in their 40s, but since we are in our 20s not for us.

    disapointed

    by

    what a depressing movie! the acting was good but I walked out looked at my wife and said that was depressing i felt uncomfortable during the movie, I didn't enjoy it I wish I would have waited till it was on RedBox to go see it now worth going to the movie theater. Watch Les miserables instead now that was A GOOD MOVIE I think the best I've seen in years!

    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.

    Very funny for me at 40 yrs old!

    by

    This movie is point on with my age group these days. Some 30 yr old folks with two girls might relate as well and grand parents who have a young heart will love it. It is funny and does have a great point to the story. Great movie.

    WALK OUT!!!! OR BETTER YET SAVE YOUR MONEY

    by

    There are a few movies that deserve to be walked out on and THIS IS 40 is one of those movies, better yet save your money the funny parts are what they show you on the trailer the rest of the movie is just two people turning 40 yelling at each other because their life did not turned out what they wanted to be blah blah blah stupid ******* movie even the fact that the main character Leslie Mann walks around half naked through some of the movie coupled with the fact that Megan Fox is in a bikini most of the movie cannot save this worthless piece of film

    too long, and strains believability.

    by Michael1313

    There are quite a few satisfying moments in this movie, but it's larded up with unnecessary crap and attempts at humor. You could easily cut a half hour out of it. The humor is fine at first, but the story becomes hard to believe (or stomach) quickly. Disappointing...it could have been good.

    Great Lines

    by Escaper7

    A great movie to see just how hypocritical we can be as parents! A riot of a movie and perhaps a bit too close to home in some scenes! Enjoy!

    OH NO

    by hirsheskiss

    I was really excited to see this movie, but was taken back by the lack of plot. There was absolutely NO point to this movie, so take my advice and do not waste your money. Of course I did laugh more than once, but not enough to make it worth while. ALSO if you have any interest in ever watching the show LOST..DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE.., I was astonished that they RUINED the ENTIRE tv show...glad I had already finished the series, but seriously do not waste your time or money on this terrible movie.

    This is 40

    by ctusaf

    I love the actors in the film, especially Leslie Mann, but this movie was overkill on vulgarity. Hollywood seems to think in order for a movie to be funny, it has to overload it with this kind of language. After a while it gets uncomfortable to watch and you start looking at your watch wanting it to get over. It could have been a good movie if they just left more room for the imagination. Both my wife and I walked out before it was over. For a Friday night, theater was less than 20% full, so others must have got the message out. Seemed like at least 10% of the people that were there were playing on their smart phones.

    This is 40 hours long

    by fandangit1

    Or at least it feels that way because of how long, painful, and awkward it is. Some good lines are interspersed with seemingly endless pain. Worse, the movie makes little logical sense and shows no progression. Rather, at times they seem to decide to act normally, leading to happiness, and at others they do and say obviously insane and counterproductive things that make them miserable. But there's no rhyme or reason as to why and when they do each. Awful plot.
