This is 40 is a Judd Apatow (director of 40 Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up etc etc) production starring Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann (Apatow's wife) as a married couple struggling to admit that they are hitting the big 4-0 and having a few financial issues, with Apatow and Mann's real life daughters as the two squabbling daughters.
This movie is awful. It's 2 hours of people shouting at each other or saying really awful things to each other or interacting really awkwardly. If this is what marriage is like, I'm so glad I haven't done it. If this is what having kids is like, I'm glad I haven't done that either. I admit there were a few moments in this movie where I laughed (mainly Melissa McCarthy's scenes) but you can see most of them in the trailer. This is 2 hours of my life I'll never get back and I was wishing it was over while we were watching it. A rare fail by Mr Apatow and his troupe of usually good comedians.
I'd give this a 3 out of 10.
