Questi sono i 40

All these people that gave this movie terrible ratings need to lighten up ! First many of the actors are also comedians! If you can't handle mature dark humor than this movie isn't for you . Real people have to deal with a lot of things on their plate . The two main characters are dysfunctional individuals trying to make sense out of their crazy lives . The only part that I thought was over the top was the reaction to the child that said negative things about their older daughter . What they said could be outright threats that could be criminally charged. But at the end of the day it is a dark comedy. I like the ending. When in crisis mode families come together.

While I'm in my 40s I am single and childless but I hear enough stories from people around me (same age, middle class Californians) to know this movie is actually touching on what are real world situations for some people. So I didn't feel like there was much overdramatization as most critics point out. I also didn't feel like it was too long as I did enjoy the story, dialogues, etc. So I didn't think it felt drawn out. At the end of the day, most of the jokes work, plot and characters are engaging, and so there is enough to enjoy despite having nothing extremely original to rave about.

For a comedy, then "This is 40" had a tendency to keep on going on and on, and at almost two hours, it started to wear thin, and the movie should have had ended about 30 minutes ago.

The story in "This is 40" is about married couple Pete (played by Paul Rudd) and Debbie (played by Leslie Mann), who celebrate a 40th year birthday and are starting to have marital issues that are weighing down on them, as is their financial situation.

"This is 40" is a movie about turning 40, but struggling to keep being young. But it is also a story of relationship situations, up and downs, good and bad. And it is a movie about love conquering all obstacles.

The cast in the movie was quite good, and there is a great chemistry between Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann. And they both really carried the movie so well, and made it worthwhile to sit through. Jason Segel also makes a small entrance in this movie in a strange, but small, role. And John Lithgow also makes a nice addition to the movie, despite having a small role.

Aside from being a bit too long and dragging on, then "This is 40" is a good movie. It is the type of comedy that makes you smile and feel good, not the kind of comedy that will have tears trailing down your cheeks from laughing too hard.

Everyone hits 40 at sometime, and some deal with it better than others. "This is 40" is well worth a watch if you are sitting down with a loved one and want an evenings worth of entertainment that is best watched with the person you love.

This is 40 is a complete surprise. A straight-forward slice of life that follows its protagonists as they cross the great, unseen barrier into their fifth decade, the film is naturally funnier, more poignant, and more engaging than might be expected. With laughter coming from the both the banalities of life and its heavier moments, the film rarely sinks into caricature and keeps tone-killing silliness to a minimum.

This movie has its moments, but overall its ruined by being overly long and tons of tired foul language. Highlights include the scene with Melissa McCarthy where her language is perfect, most any scene with the two actresses playing the two daughters and the Asian actress who plays one of the lead's employees. Worth a view for sure, but sad as it could have easily been a 10.
