This Is 40 (Unrated)
Judd Apatow's This Is 40 stars Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann star as Pete and Debbie, the same married couple they played in Apatow's Knocked Up. As the movie opens, Debbie is turning 40 but tells everybody she's younger. She runs a small, boutique clothing store that's breaking even financially, while Pete manages a retro-minded indie-music label that's under serious financial strain just as they are trying to launch a new album by Graham Parker. Their money troubles are compounded by Pete's dad Larry (Albert Brooks), who continually hits up his son for cash because he has toddler triplets after an overly successful fertilization treatment with his younger second wife. Debbie has daddy issues as well. Her father (John Lithgow), an emotionally cold, highly successful surgeon, seems to want no part of his daughter's life, even though they meet for lunch occasionally after not talking to each other for a lengthy period of time. All of these people, along with Debbie's trainer, Pete's employees, and salesgirls from Debbie's boutique, arrive at the couple's beautiful home for a birthday party where all the familial wounds are opened.

David Sexton, This is London
It's a sitcom, then, with no real story or structure.

Robbie Collin, Daily Telegraph
Every scene feels like an airbrushed composite of dozens of rambling takes, and 133 minutes is drainingly long for a story this sitcom-slight.

Peter Bradshaw, Guardian [UK]
This is terrifically assured work from Judd Apatow. And most importantly, funny.

Anton Bitel, Film4
Middle-aged, middle-class and, if we're frank, a little middling and 'medium soft', the uneven This Is 40 indulges its flabby excess of subplots, but is redeemed by some genuine belly laughs.

Cath Clarke, Time Out
However irritating 'This Is 40' is at times, there's a warmth that wins you over, and an honesty about families.

Jim Schembri, 3AW
More aptly known as "This is 40 Minutes Too Long", Judd Apatow's comic attempt at a bitter-sweet comic dissertation about middle-age falls flat.
