Let's be realistic.

Best movie ever!

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

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.

This is a movie about nothing. No story, no red line just two couples who complain about not having sex, and nothing...two hours of nothing!

This is a comedy film that's a spin-off to Knocked Up. The main characters in this film - Debbie and Pete - are the sister and brother- in-law of the protagonist in Knocked Up. They're a dysfunctional middle-class family who live in suburban Los Angeles.Leslie Mann is a very good actress - and this is an above-average comedy. However, it's too long for the content in it.

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
