In his recent pictures, the characters have drowned in a morass of mutual contempt and self-pity. This Is 40 bears more of a resemblance to his last film, the ill-named Funny People, which was his first commercial failure. It’s tempting to say of This Is 40 that this is 40 minutes too long, but the truth is it never gets going.įatally for a romcom, the characters lack generosity of spirit, compassion or maturity, so there’s no reason for us to care if they stay together.Īpatow’s first hits, The 40-Year-Old Virgin and Knocked Up, were crude but funny.

I’m interested in it with Leslie (Mann) and Paul (Rudd)’s characters… Pete and Debbie… but I’m even more interested in Maude and Iris. “Yes… because I like the series that Truffaut made where he revisited the same character five different times in five different movies.
