This Is 40
Dir: Judd Apatow
2012

An Anti-climactic look at what 40 isn't really like. Ok, so I liked the characters Pete and Debbie at first but their persona's never real stick, making the whole film a little hard to relate to or believe. The cameos go from good to bad, Chris O'Dowd being good and Melissa McCarthy being bad (I can't stand the woman). There is also too much ad libbing, I've said it before and no doubt I will say it again but Paul Rudd, as much as I like him, cannot and should not ad lib! John Lithgow and Albert Brooks are old school dependable and really help things but for every joke that makes you laugh there are 3 that don't.
