A look at the lives of Pete and Debbie a few years after the events of Knocked Up.
I never saw Knocked Up, if I had it would have saved me 2 hrs. and 14 min. of my life. This film is base, vile, degenerate, prurient, a decidedly UNFUNNY comedy a complete waste of talent and more importantly an absolute waste TIME! There is nothing wrong with the premise, it could have been an interesting examination of family life but unfortunately had to take the Hollywood easy way out of sinking to the most base, prurient trash, devolving to the lowest common denominator available and of course what would we do without the endless profanity (well, in the case of this film, the script would be cut by 40 to 50%). This is 40 is about a horrible family, horrible parents, horrible grandparents and horrible children, all self absorbed, hedonistic, reprobates. The same can be said for writher/director Judd Apatow, what a miserable excuse for an adult, who subjected his two young daughters to this cesspool of filth by casting them as the family's two children.
The only thing that spares This Is 40 an 'F' Grade is that it is in well made from a technical standpoint such as it is in focus, costumes, lighting and staging are to industry standards, etc. I can't honestly recommend this film to anyone
