This is 40 opens in theaters on Friday, December 21!
I am a huge, gigantic, over-the-mom fan of everything Judd Apatow does, and I have been looking forward to This is 40 all year!
While Angeline is out with friends on Friday, Chris and I are heading to the movies to stuff our faces with popcorn, cherry coke icees and laugh ourselves silly. I can't wait!
Five years after writer/director Judd Apatow introduced us all to Pete and Debbie in Knocked Up, Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann reprise their roles as a husband and wife both approaching a milestone meltdown in This Is 40, an unfiltered, comedic look inside the life of an American family.
I mean, come on...we all loved Seth Rogan in Knocked Up, but Pete and Debbie were the perfect characters to base a sequel on!
So what is This is 40 about?
After years of marriage, Pete lives in a house of all females: wife Debbie and their two daughters, eight-year-old Charlotte (Iris Apatow) and 13-year-old Sadie (Maude Apatow). As he struggles to keep his record label afloat, he and Debbie must figure out how to forgive, forget and enjoy the rest of their lives…before they kill each other.
In his fourth directorial outing, Apatow’s new comedy captures what it takes for one family to flourish in the middle of a lifetime together.
What emerges is a deeply honest portrait of the challenges and rewards of marriage and parenthood in the modern age. Through the filmmaker’s unblinking lens, we follow one couple’s three-week navigation of sex and romance, career triumphs and financial hardships, aging parents and maturing children.
You can check out more about This is 40 on the This is 40 Movie website.
