This Is 40 (2012)
All about the soundtrack...
I have given it 6 stars simply because of the superb soundtrack that goes from Ryan Adams to Yoko Ono, Norah Jones, Jon Brion and the ever so amazing Fiona Apple. But even with Fiona's great track Dull Tool at the movie's climax, it lacks spirit and generally fails to impress. The leads Leslie Man and Paul Rudd lack chemistry leaving us feeling uncomfortable at times with lack of emotional connection. The script is also left to desire, if you're married with kids such as myself, you may connect to some parts, but essentially it isn't funny and the performances are weak (apart from a great cameo from Melissa McCarthy) I sort of wish that with such an amazing soundtrack Apatow had done more with the movie taken it is such a promising amusing theme. I have however purchased the album and highly recommend it.
