Re: This is 40
So looking forward to seeing this film. Hope its as good as Knocked Up... I always fear the sequel won't live up to expectations, so I hope I'm wrong!!

Re: This is 40
I saw the trailer for this today and was very surprised. It looks far promising that I presumed it would be.
Fingers crossed for a decent comedy.

Re: This is 40
I really enjoyed this. It's more mature than Knocked Up and I get to see Paul Rudd is in his underpants. Humina, humina.

Re: This is 40
Knocked Up was too long and This is 40 looks to be the same. Production team needs to stop being so stubborn and cut some material. It is not all comedy gold!

Re: This is 40
Saw this tonight at an almost full Cineworld,Edinburgh. The guy in front of me seemed to find it hilarious and was laughing loudly all the time. I didn't think it was that funny and it was far too long. Not as good as I expected. 5/10 for me.

Re: This is 40
I was disappointed and Paul Rudd in saggy white y-fronts was not endearing or otherwise......
Have to agree that the film was too long. 2 hours and nearly 15 minutes. 30 minutes needed cut.
There were a lot of characters and that made it difficult to keep track sometimes - I'm thinking friends/employees here.
The premise was good and it had promise, I just think it was poorly edited so the laughs got lost in the angst.
Not as funny as they think it is, and biggest waste of Chris O'Dowd.
Do stay for the Melissa McCarthy outtakes at the end though.
6.5/10 from me.

Re: This is 40
Went to see this movie on Tuesday night and have to say it was too long. Most definitely will appeal to those who are already or are approaching 40 with kids but not worthy of 2+ hours. There were a few younger people coming out of the cinema at the same time as us and they were complaining about it "just being a ramble". A few laugh out loud moments and moments where my husband and I just looked at each other knowingly. All in all its a 6 out of 10 for me.
