This Is 40
From the comedic mind of Judd Apatow comes the 'sort-of' sequel to Knocked Up.
Overview
Judd Apatow’s latest comedy laugh-a-thon expands upon the story of the stubbornly married Pete and Debbie from the smash-hit blockbuster, Knocked Up, as we watch them deal with the trials and tribulations of life at forty.
Set a few years on from the events of Knocked Up, the film begins with Debbie (Leslie Mann), celebrating the arrival of her fortieth birthday by having awkward, Viagra-aided sex with her long suffering husband, Pete (Paul Rudd). Debbie begins to realize that life does in fact, not begin at forty.
Debbie now owns a boutique with employees Desi (Mega Fox) and Jodi (Charlyne Yi). Pete runs a record label with friends Ronnie (Chris O’Dowd) and Cat (Lena Dunham), representing prospect-free artists like Graham Parker. Both are struggling.
With friends like Jason (Jason Segel) and Barb (Annie Mumolo) aiding them, or at least trying to, the couple decide to make a last attempt to keep their family together, with the usual disasters and general mayhem plaguing them along the way.
