""This Is Everyone's Story." This Is 40 (Apatow, 2012)"


  

          

I loved Apatow's first two, and liked the first half of Funny People... but this looks like an "Aren't wives terrible?"-fest with utterly cringe-worthy titles interspersed. (Especially since not everyone's story involves large houses in LA, concerts, drugs, and a total lack of minorities.)

I'm hoping the trailer's just a bad representative of what this film is... but between this trailer and the inevitable 2hr35 run time... I'm scared.
