This is 40 Trailer Is the Next Step in Judd Apatow's Chronicles About Growing-Up
Fri, April 27, 2012 Like any good filmmaker, Judd Apatow has a specific voice and in three films under his belt has focused on one subject, in varying degrees; maturing.
Putting away childish things (The 40 Year Old Virgin), becoming a parent (Knocked Up) and facing one's mortality (Funny People). Here is the latest, the "sort-of-sequel" to Knocked Up, This is 40 with Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann reprising their Pete and Debbie characters.
The title, and accompanying trailer, says it all. It's about getting older. Something we can all relate to. Looks promising (Nice to see returning alums Jason Segel, also returning from Knocked Up, and Melissa McCarthy), just hope Apatow has matured enough as a filmmaker and learn to cut the fat. Good as his films have been, we don't see more comedies clocking in at over two and a half hours.

God damn it Jamie Williams!!! You are so ahead of the game! You must have just gotten this trailer! Wow! this looks awesome!!! Are you excited about BATMAN? I am.
Okay... Why do we need this? Knocked Up, although long, was pretty good. I bet Appatow's Wife was like!! FUCK I"M 40!!! so he was like.... so he was like... whateva baby. I'll make you a movie. And she like... What's it about? And he like.... bring 40!!
You mean: "Being 40?" I fucking hate people that just leave comments.
That do not make no sense DONUTSbitches! You just left a fucking comment! That means you are doing what u jus said you did not like!!
Regardless. This website is pretty cool. I like it, Good job posting this trailer like immediatly. I think you beat youtube
I agree with you Jamie Judd Apatow's movies are too long for their own good. Especially the 3rd act that drags on and on. But I do like 40 Year Old Virgin and Knocked Up. I wasn't a fan of Funny People. This however looks very good.
