Review of This Is 40 (2012)

By Eddie Harrison (272) for The List (2,018) on 18 Jan 2013

Apatow seems to be offering autobiography as entertainment, but while aiming for blunt honesty, This is 40 is simply dull…

Review of This Is 40 (2012)

By Jim Schembri (1,298) for 3AW (1,025) on 17 Jan 2013

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…

Review of This Is 40 (2012)

By Matthew Toomey (680) for ABC Radio Brisbane (680) on 16 Jan 2013

Every conversation feels like it's a minute too long. It's as if these characters are trying too hard to demonstrate their flaws and insecurities…

Review of This Is 40 (2012)

By Craig Mathieson (459) for The Sunday Age (488) on 16 Jan 2013

In trying to please everyone he satisfies no one and, far from being brave, the fleeting concerns of This Is 40 are closer to cowardly…

Review of This Is 40 (2012)

By Cara Nash (110) for FILMINK (Australia) (1,405) on 16 Jan 2013

A sprawling but smart and generous-hearted comedy whose knockout laughs come steeped in brutal honesty…

Review of This Is 40 (2012)

By Todd Jorgenson (1,852) for Cinemalogue.com (1,236) on 14 Jan 2013

It might feel a little too familiar, and even self-indulgent, as in a rehashing of jokes and scenarios that were funnier the first time around…

Review of This Is 40 (2012)

By Matt Mueller (72) for Total Film (3,532) on 11 Jan 2013

Apatow's return creates a pleasantly sprawling, perceptive study of mid-life angst that never lacks for laughs…

Review of This Is 40 (2012)

By Michael A. Smith (689) for MediaMikes (371) on 06 Jan 2013

With a little more adult then usually found in an Apatow adult comedy, the film is carried from start to finish by the cast…

Review of This Is 40 (2012)

By Eric Melin (822) for Scene-Stealers.com (667) on 05 Jan 2013

Apatow's biggest strength is his ability to wrangle frank and perceptive scenes into one overarching theme and wring huge laughs out of them,…

Review of This Is 40 (2012)

By Jeffrey Westhoff (767) for Northwest Herald (Crystal Lake, IL) (767) on 04 Jan 2013

This Is 40' has moments where vulgarity doesn't impede honesty and Apatow's desire to show off his children doesn't overshadow his depiction…

Review of This Is 40 (2012)

By Clint O'connor (453) for Cleveland Plain Dealer (828) on 04 Jan 2013

Leslie Mann deserves an Oscar nomination for her hilarious performance…

Review of This Is 40 (2012)

By James Kendrick (1,607) for Q Network Film Desk (1,607) on 04 Jan 2013

Apatow can't relinquish his love of random animal comedy enough to let his dramatic sensibilities really take hold, and as a result the film…

Review of This Is 40 (2012)

By Jackie K. Cooper (1,018) for jackiekcooper.com (943) on 02 Jan 2013

Not up to some of Judd Apatow's earlier hits, but still has some amusing moments blended in with the crude humor and whiny characters…

Review of This Is 40 (2012)

By Jordan Hiller (219) for Bangitout.com (219) on 31 Dec 2012

My suspicion is that Apatow made a conscious decision to throw episodes at us scattershot to reflect the battlefield chaos of a relationship…

Review of This Is 40 (2012)

By Blake Howard (505) for 2UE That Movie Show (314) on 30 Dec 2012

This is 40 is his [Apatow's] graduation, leaving him totally exposed - and you're at your funniest when your pants are down…

Review of This Is 40 (2012)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shared Darkness (279) on 29 Dec 2012

A mismanaged mess that feels less a panoramic study of modern adult- and familyhood and more like a series of tasked self-reflections for which…

Review of This Is 40 (2012)

By David Nusair (3,363) for Reel Film Reviews (3,339) on 29 Dec 2012

A typically erratic Judd Apatow feature…

Review of This Is 40 (2012)

By Corey Hall (192) for Metro Times (Detroit, MI) (691) on 27 Dec 2012

Review of This Is 40 (2012)

By Stephen Silver (684) for EntertainmentTell (372) on 26 Dec 2012
