This Is 40 (2013)

Judd Apatow returns to the life-comedy drama style of films with This Is 40, a side-sequel to 2007’s Knocked up. The movie stars Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann as a married couple whose relationships are going through the motions as they approach forty years old and find themselves struggling to find time for each other. With the spark in their relationship seemingly flickering out, the two attempt to work on themselves – and each other – while dealing with their chaotic families.
