However irritating 'This Is 40' is at times, there's a warmth that wins you over, and an honesty about families.

Apparently Apatow's penchant for if-it's-not-broke filmmaking isn't changing anytime soon. And it's a shame, because while This is 40 has plenty of laughs, it lacks decency and heart.

The performers are so likable that you stay with them even when, as is often the case, the material is hit-or-miss.

Judd Apatow is not a disciplined artist. And that's a good thing.
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger

"This Is 40" tends to be about the self-inflicted problems of spoiled upper-middle class white people. Which can be sort of funny, sure. Sort of.
