This Is 40 is the most depressing comedy ever

Oh no, we were looking forward to seeing it. What was so bad about it?
Should we even attempt to see it?

[vtdiamond]

Yeah that may not be the best movie to see 3 months before we get married and when we're thinking of TTC in a year or so. Too bad, it looks funny.

Oh, that's too bad. I was excited about it when I first heard about it, but then I saw the trailers and decided to save my money. I find it ... off-putting that he's all everywhere talking about how this is his most personal movie yet, but it stars his wife and kids, and seems to be about two people who don't seem to like each other very much.

Sorry you got burned. Watch some Freaks and Geeks to make up for it - remember the glory days!

It's the best. Every time I see a commercial for Cougartown, I just think, "Oh Kim Kelly. You can do better."

Did you see the Vanity Fair reunion picture? Everyone is so smiley and happy, except Linda Cardellini. She and Jason Segal are about as far apart as two people can be and still be sitting next to each other. It's kind of hilarious. Though I guess when your ex-boyfriend makes a kajillion dollars writing a movie that details what a snatch you are, you're gonna hold a grudge, heh.

It sounds like it's on par with Funny People. Which was not funny

[5kcandlesinthewind]

Funny People was fine for like the first hour, hour and a half. But that last act was terrrrrrible. Judd Apatow seems to fall victim to Kevin Smith-itis: he needs better editors, (no way should a comedy be more than 2 hours, Apatow), and he needs to stop putting his wife in all his movies. (Though she is a better actress than KS wife, but that is saying absolutely nothing.)

Thanks for the heads up. 40 is coming fast enough as it is. I really don't need to be depressed more about it.
