Overview

This Is 40 is a 2012 comedy-drama film written and directed by Judd Apatow, a spin-off of his 2007 film Knocked Up. The film stars Paul Rudd as Pete and Leslie Mann as Debbie, a married couple who are both turning 40. They are dealing with the challenges of middle age: financial problems, marital problems, and parenting problems. The film is a funny, honest, and sometimes painful look at the realities of long-term relationships. It was a moderate success, earning over $88 million on a $35 million budget. The film features a memorable performance by Melissa McCarthy as a foul-mouthed, aggressive personal trainer. The film is a more mature, dramatic work than Apatow's earlier comedies.
