Review of This Is 40 (2012) by Smijatov — 16 Jan 2013
I give Apatow kudos for trying something decent with this. It has elements of a serious comedy, "Lost in Translation" style, but also silliness to try and equal it out. Often it works, but just as often it fails.
The film has had great potential, and it is rather decent end-product overall, with good performances by the cast, especially Leslie Mann. There seems to be some disjointments in the story, but it is rather entertaining, though a tad too long.
Not bad at all, but not a great film either. It's within the 'good' category, for sure.
