Rijndri Load of rubbish!!

MonsterPerfect Good idea lost in the noise

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

bessevans-51352 This poor movie went nowhere! Great one liners, and filmed like a rom com. If they had have created an indie vibe they may have gotten away with the slower pace, but as it is this movie just dragged and had me cringing for the last 45 minutes.

Mynameisroman Seriously, i don't remember a lot of normal or even funny conversations in this movie. actually this movie is NOT a comedy! its a drama movie! all the time people shouting and fighting over stupid things. it was so bad i almost wanted to leave the theatre in the middle of the movie which i usually never do. i don't remember much of the story but at least i remember there wasn't any story worth telling. just a glimpse into the life of a dysfunctional family where everyone is unhappy.

dancingvegan I think 'we' people that get this movie are over 40 (or around it) and are in a relationship with children! I read some of the reviews saying it was depressing, but we know that this is actually reality! Life happens when you are trying to make a life together with your significant other. It is not always peaches & cream. That is the way a rebellious 13 year old acts toward her mother & father and her little sister. That's how I was as a 13 year old. Parents don't always get along; it's one of the toughest goals to achieve in life - to be happily married! I commend & applaud the writers, the actors, and the directors for a job well done. This was hilarious at points and sad at others and always entertaining and kept my attention. Loved it!!

Python Hyena This is 40 (2012): Dir: Judd Apatow / Cast: Leslie Mann, Paul Rudd, Albert Brooks, Megan Fox, Jason Segel: Disappointing comedy about the reality of middle age. It is said to be a "sort of" sequel to Knocked Up but after making three great comedies Judd Apatow seems at a loss here. The film has a concept but no story to back it. It stars Leslie Mann and Paul Rudd as a married couple with two daughters. They are both turning 40 this week and Mann is insecure about it. She works at a fashion store where she suspects that one of her two employees is stealing, and the revelation of this is one of the dumbest scenes in the film with its The Exorcist reference. Rudd runs a recording studio who are struggling to revive the career of Graham Parker. This all sounds fine but Apatow cannot seem to organize it. We have a hotel session involving marijuana cookies that is more embarrassing than funny. Apatow's daughters are in the film fighting and carrying on but their footage seems ill placed such as the parents having an argument and then having an unnecessary cut to the youngest playing a key board. Too many dreadful subplots of witch doctors and absent parents as well as a climax that only brings the relief of the film being over. Mann and Rudd are very good here and Alberts Brooks is funny as Rudd's leach of a father but there are too many characters and not enough patients for them all. Even Megan Fox appears only to have her breasts caressed. Jason Segel plays a fitness trainer who gets to shake his ass in Mann's face or caress her body. Strong message of mid life benefits within an Apatow misfire. Score: 5 ½ / 10
