This Is 40

UK Release Date: 14th February 2013

Pete and Debbie are both about to turn 40, their kids hate each other, both of their businesses are failing, they're on the verge of losing their house, and their relationship is threatening to fall apart (www.imdb.com).

Director: Judd Apatow (The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up, Funny People)

Starring: Leslie Mann, Paul Rudd, Maude Apatow, Iris Apatow, Jason Segel, Megan Foz, Chris O'Dowd

This Is 40, the 'sort of' sequel to Apatow's Knocked Up, actually surpasses it in comedy value and substantial story. Husband Paul Rudd and wife Leslie Mann are struggling to keep their marriage together. Their kids persistently hassle them, other family members aggravate to no end, problems arise at work, all the while turning 40. Everything that's covered happens to all of us in married/family life. This Is 40 I can watch over and over, for its close to home topics, crazy authentic acting and humour. 

4/5
