Director Judd Apatow gets the Zeitgeist just right in the low-key but truly funny comedy This Is 40. This Is 40 is billed as a "sort-of sequel" to Knocked Up and Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann star in both as a happily married couple. In This Is 40, both Pete (Rudd) and Debbie (Mann) turn 40, which sets off a small but irreversible midlife crisis for both. Luckily, the two have a pretty privileged and happy life. It's as though they don't even truly know how to have a midlife crisis, yet it's somehow expected. There are a lot of genuine laughs in This Is 40, many bordering on bad taste--but still hilarious. Pete's struggle with hemorrhoids is one of those movie jokes you know you shouldn't laugh at, but you do. The answer to the question "Will Pete and Debbie and their family still be cool as they get older?" is probably never at issue, but watching the two actors, who have tremendous chemistry, bounce off each other during their birthday week really is funny. Adding to the merriment is the stellar supporting cast, including Megan Fox, Graham Parker (yes, the rocker), Lena Dunham (Girls), Melissa McCarthy, Chris O'Dowd, and Albert Brooks, who truly elevate This Is 40 to a genius ensemble experience.

I have been a fan of Judd Apatow since I watched Freaks and Geeks when it was on the air. At that time I was in High School with my sister and was able to relate to that show and its characters. This movie is no different and I found it very easy to relate to this couple, minus having kids. All of Judd Apatow's work seems to be very character driven. Some have complained that this movie is just a bunch of characters and no real plot, I disagree. Granted it may not have the typical and conventional structure that most films have with a first, second and third act, but this movie flows well and seamless as one scene segues into another. That makes it very easy to watch and also rewatch as it isn't so typical and usual in that regard. This movie has similar scenes to Knocked Up which I thought was pulled off well without coming off as formulaic. Both have drug induced hotel scenes, a birthday party, kids fighting in a car, a club scene, and unexpected pregnancies. There is also a great fart scene which I found very easy to relate to as my girlfriend also finds it disgusting when I do it in bed.
Paul Rudd tends to play the same characters a lot but this is easily my favorite performance of his to date. Leslie Mann also gives her best performance in this movie and also gets naked, but I fear her nude scenes maybe CGI which is to me a new and scary Hollywood trend. At any rate, they play off each other very well, are very real and easy to relate to and most importantly, they are both very funny in This Is 40! All the supporting cast is great too, although underused. John Lithgow gives a believable and great performance as well as Albert Brooks. Lena Dunham and Chris O'Dowd and Jason Segel are underused but great in their roles. Megan Fox is watchable and actually gives a passable performance which I would attribute to Judd Apatow's skill as a director. I was kind of bummed that there wasn't a brief cameo by Seth Rogen or Katherine Heigl, but it didn't really bother me that much.
This movie is paced well, doesn't drag, is funny, has meaning and really is just a great movie. Judd Apatow's real life kids play the kids in this movie just as they did in Knocked Up, and also are really great and believable in their parts. If I believed in the whole Oscars bulls#@* I'd say this movie deserves some. It achieved the rare feat of being a comedy with real heart that establishes mood, intent, meaning and purpose. It tells the story of what love is. Everything from family love to the love between a married couple and what it takes to make a marriage work and that marriage actually takes work, as does the love that comes with it. Relationships aren't easy, but they're worth it which this movie does a great job of conveying.
I loved the show Lost and oddly there are a lot of references to that show in this movie which surprised me and I loved it.
I thought this movie would be funny and good, but I was wrong. It was hysterical and brilliant and great. I enjoyed it more than I enjoyed Knocked Up. I liked The 40 Year Old Virgin, Funny People and I think this is his best film to date. Telling another story about different characters from the world he created with Knocked Up was a great idea and focusing on the most interesting characters from that movie and giving them a movie of their own was a brilliant move and any fan of Judd Apatow should enjoy this movie. I highly recommend this movie and it was a great date movie. Most directors seem to do their best work early in their career and it's great to see that that isn't the case for Judd Apatow. This isn't really a Christmas movie but it does take place around the holiday so it is a fitting time of year to see it. I wonder if this will get turned into a trilogy? Even though I typically hate sequels (Ghostbusters II, worst sequel ever) I think this is best sequel I can think of in recent memory.
*UPDATE*
There are great special features on this set:
* 44 min. NPR interview with Terry gross on Fresh Air
* 50 min. making of
* 54 min. of awesome deleted scenes and extended scenes.
* 8 min. gag reel, hilarious
* 36 min. mini doc on Graham Parker and the Rumour as they reunite
* A lot more stuff than this even, finally a decent amount of special features for a movie.
The picture quality is superb, strong primaries, deep black levels and a warm contrast. I am not a fan of Universal's menu set up, and their discs seem to take forever to load on my PS3, but that could be just my problem.
Not everything in the film is played for laughs. There is frank and difficult interpersonal drama here, and it is handled with a sensitivity and insight that make me think of what an R-rated episode of ‘Once and Again’ might have been like.
This a film worth having on Blu-ray. I’m not about to leave it to chance whether one of my streamers has it the next time I want to watch it. It’s one of those movies.
