This Is 40

This Is 40 (2012) is Judd Apatow's comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Called a "sort-of sequel" to Knocked Up, it follows Pete and Debbie as the two-week anniversary glow has long worn off and middle age is knocking hard.

They're both turning 40, Pete's indie record label is bleeding cash, and Debbie's boutique is barely hanging on. Their daughters — played by Apatow's real daughters Maude and Iris — are at full-volume war with each other and everyone else. Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann play a couple who genuinely love each other and still manage to make every dinner a potential disaster. Albert Brooks, John Lithgow, Megan Fox, and Jason Segel round out a deep supporting cast.

At 134 minutes the film runs long by design — Apatow wants you to actually live inside this marriage for a while, not just glance at it. It's a comedy that earns its laughs from the specific, grinding awkwardness of getting older with someone. Stream This Is 40 (2012) online on iFILM.
