This is 40

I Hope That's NOT 40

As the Plot Outline says, this is a spinoff of Knocked Up (2007). Except there is no sight of Seth Rogan, Katherine Heigl, or Jonah Hill. Pete and Debbie (Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann) are struggling running their own businesses while also raising two kids. They both have what I would call a mid-life crisis that probably comes from both of them having daddy issues. I didn't mind this film, but my wife hated it, mainly because there is no resolution (did they have to sell their house)? But, it does seem to me that they both reconciled with their fathers.

One thing of note, Leslie Mann is Judd Apatow's wife in real life and Sadie and Charlotte were played by Maude and Iris Apatow, their daughters.

I found the lack of actual comedy a little disconcerting. I expected more from Apatow. This isn't a terrible film, and it's entertaining.
