Review of This Is 40 (2012)

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

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

Review of This Is 40 (2012)

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

Review of This Is 40 (2012)

Review of This Is 40 (2012)

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

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…

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

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

By Mike Mcgranaghan (1,821) for Aisle Seat (1,783) on 19 Dec 2012
