Walked out after one hour. Can't remember the last time I did that. And we weren't the only ones. There was a mass exodus from this movie's idiotic dialogue, concept and acting. Waste of $33 and a precious hour of life.
Cons stupid
No, I do not recommend this movie.

"This Is 40" is heartwarming and raunchy, solid Apatow.

Goes to the movies:weekly
Judd Apatow returns to the director’s chair with a hilarious vengeance as he directs his wife (Leslie Mann), two daughters (Maude and Iris) and Paul Rudd as a family who are all simultaneously reaching an awkward age where nothing seems to gel. Rudd is secretly taking Viagra and sneaking cupcakes behind his wife’s back, while she’s hiding her smoking habit and trying to account for twelve-thousand dollars of lost merchandise at her clothing store. The oldest daughter is addicted to “Lost” and a wimpy boy, while the youngest girl simply wants to be noticed. “Chaos” would seem to be the theme that carries through “This Is 40″, told in a series of episodes that altogether show a family under fire. As always with Apatow, the film has a raunchy heart of gold, and while these characters may not like each other, their love for one another is never doubted, a love that is present in each of the actors’ excellent performances. Filled to the comedic brim with an outstanding supporting cast (Jason Segel, Megan Fox, Chris O’Dowd, Albert Brooks, John Lithgow, Melissa McCarthy), this movie will tickle your funny bone as many times as it will strike a poignant nerve.

This movie is billed as a comedy but there is really very little funny about. It. It's mostly a story about a middle class family and everyday life. The funniest part of the movie was the outtake with m. McCarthy AFTER the movie was over. Don't waste your money!
Cons slow
No, I do not recommend this movie.

From the trailers it looks like a comedy, and at various points it is hilarious. But it veers off in to the slightly treacly area of family relationships. But it's all very warm. Everyone is good, which is all the movie demands, the humor is good, the scene with the school principal is pricesless.
Pros funwarm
Yes, I recommend this movie.
