It's like if Knocked Up was instead titled This is 35, and This is 40 were chapter two. It's just redundant.

This Is 40 is intermittently funny, frequently embarrassing and, at 134 minutes, quite a bit too long.

It is, in its quieter way, more pointlessly indulgent than The Matrix Revolutions.

You either take it as 134 long minutes of sweet-hearted comedy with martial strife mixed in or vice versa, namely a two-hour-plus argument between Mommy and Daddy.
