Review of This Is 40 (2012)

By William Bibbiani (788) for CraveOnline (813) on 20 Dec 2012

Whatever superficial distractions may be endemic to Judd Apatow's latest film, its greater successes outweigh them. You will laugh…

Review of This Is 40 (2012)

By Marc Mohan (821) for Portland Oregonian (2,019) on 20 Dec 2012

There are laughs to be found, as unfiltered improvisations on subjects such as Viagra, home electronics, pot cookies and the end of Lost come…

Review of This Is 40 (2012)

By Kimberley Jones (866) for Austin Chronicle (7,653) on 20 Dec 2012

Does Apatow understand his heroes are assholes…

Review of This Is 40 (2012)

By Mary F. Pols (536) for TIME Magazine (1,130) on 20 Dec 2012

As the movie goes on, the laughs are fewer and farther between, and for the last 30 minutes, not only did I not laugh, I wanted it to end so…

Review of This Is 40 (2012)

By Roger Moore (6,008) for Tribune News Service (1,102) on 20 Dec 2012

Stupid freaking Judd Apatow, with his stupid freaking foul-mouthed and sentimental Hobbit-length comedies, his stupid freaking insistence on…

Review of This Is 40 (2012)

By Claudia Puig (2,080) for USA Today (4,117) on 20 Dec 2012

Give it plenty of points for brutal honesty. But This is 40 could have used more laughs…

Review of This Is 40 (2012)

By Ty Burr (2,612) for Boston Globe (6,852) on 20 Dec 2012

The best scenes - the only time This Is 40 taps into genuinely messy comic anxiety - feature Brooks, who shpritzes shabby false confidence…

Review of This Is 40 (2012)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 20 Dec 2012

It displays a growing sense of fluidity and craft [from Apatow]. ... But much of the script feels oddly dishonest and dodgy…

Review of This Is 40 (2012)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for Times-Picayune (642) on 20 Dec 2012

Yes, Apatow's film has its peaks and valleys -- just the way life does -- but it stands alone nicely on its own, a satisfying comedic riff…

Review of This Is 40 (2012)

By Mary Pols (197) for Time (1,811) on 20 Dec 2012

As the movie goes on, the laughs are fewer and farther between, and for the last 30 minutes, not only did I not laugh, I wanted it to end so…

Review of This Is 40 (2012)

By Joe Neumaier (1,294) for New York Daily News (5,623) on 20 Dec 2012

There's a funny movie scratching at the edges of This is 40…

Review of This Is 40 (2012)

By Connie Ogle (690) for Miami Herald (3,319) on 20 Dec 2012

This is 40 is crude and dull, with a supporting cast that reminds you how utterly uninteresting the main characters are…

Review of This Is 40 (2012)

By Mick Lasalle (3,303) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 20 Dec 2012

The real problem with This Is 40 is its lack of truth, that Apatow wanted to express something about married life, and it eluded him…

Review of This Is 40 (2012)

By Christy Lemire (1,262) for Associated Press (1,685) on 19 Dec 2012

It's the feel-bad comedy of the holiday season - and that's what makes it good…

Review of This Is 40 (2012)

By Rick Groen (1,350) for Globe and Mail (2,419) on 19 Dec 2012

Apatow rescued big-screen comedy from its lengthy wallow in the trough of dumb-and-dumber – we have good reason to thank the guy…

Review of This Is 40 (2012)

By Jonathan Lack (87) for We Got This Covered (2,391) on 19 Dec 2012

This Is 40 exhibits none of the pacing problems that held back Apatow's previous features, and builds to its simple, moving conclusion with…

Review of This Is 40 (2012)

By Sean Daly (14) for Tampa Bay Times (1,287) on 19 Dec 2012

Apatow's view on family is like his movie: Love and punch lines abound, and if it all goes off the rails sometimes, everyone's ultimately better…

Review of This Is 40 (2012)

By Jim Slotek (879) for Jam! Movies (2,396) on 19 Dec 2012

The characters' arc is ultimately sweet and self-aware…

Review of This Is 40 (2012)

By Phil Villarreal (1,289) for OK! Magazine (124) on 19 Dec 2012

Judd Apatow plunges the stage of life for all its ample misery, just the way he did adolescence in Freaks and Geeks and quarterlife angst in…

Review of This Is 40 (2012)

By Brian Orndorf (4,059) for Blu-ray.com (2,093) on 19 Dec 2012

The results are uproarious and keenly observed, continuing Apatow's satisfying quest to inspect itchy human behavior with a pronounced silly streak…
