More age, more problems

This is 40 (2012)

Directed by Judd Apatow this spin off from Knocked Up (2007) stars Paul Rudd, Leslie Mann, John Lithgow and Megan Fox. On the week of their 40^th birthdays a married couple enters a midlife crises.

There is a lot to like here but unfortunately the film ends up being a bit of an aimless exploration of turning 40 that lacks much real resolution. While there are some funny moments they are not enough to really carry the film and the problems facing our protagonists never really get resolved. Generally the film is well made and similar to other films made by Apatow but is not one of his strongest efforts.
