panama12 Rewatching this on FX and it is God awful. So depressing and just nasty. If you were ever on the fence about marriage, just watch this and then enjoy your life being single. How did this get made?

poshbloke I really didn't like it. Maybe because it's a bit too close to the truth to be funny or maybe because it simply isn't that funny. Nice idea but it's so cringeworth seeing the good cast go through this painful script.

ryoni-1 The movie is called this is 40, the people who didn't like this movie are above 30 or beneath 30 ?someone said about making the film 1 hour shorter - as it could be a little shorter but not a hour shorter maybe 20-30 minutes i wonder what is his age.i'm 35 years old and i really enjoyed the movie but the reason that i enjoyed is because i can relate to a lot of things in the movie.i'm not sure that people beneath 30 can relate too much to things in the movie. and the movie like its name is called "this is 40" and it is exactly what it is.the finance difficulties people are standing with , the "automate" mode that married couples get in.the small lies like paul rudd in the bathroom to take a break from lifethe health examinations that you start like with the breast test or blood testthe difficulty of the whole family as her father with his issues his father with his issues.i think that if you take married people with kids above 30 they will review the movie higher because of all the small stuff - the movie title and movie itself fits about the age 40 of average's joe married couples .

mks2708 This is my kind of film. It won't be everyone's cup of tea. It is not silly like Knocked up or 40 year old virgin (both of which I love). It's more like a book than a movie. I can relate to it, I like the colour of the film, the house is gorgeous, the characters are like people I'd be friends with, they talk like me. They parent kind of like me and my husband too. It's just a nice, easy to watch movie that I can watch over and over. I like their world. A rollercoaster of laughs it is not but there are some great lines in there.
