Big-Screen Cheat Sheet: Which Movie Should You See This Weekend?

Universal Pictures

'This Is 40' (Dec. 21)

Short Story:
Let's face it: Turning 40 can be unglamorous. But for Debbie (Leslie Mann) and Pete (Paul Rudd), the process seems particularly painful. Their kids are bickering, their marriage is a series of fights and the romance is on a serious downturn. In this sort-of sequel to Knocked Up, we get another glimpse into the lives of this hysterical couple, this time during one of the more terrifying milestone birthdays.

What They're Saying:
"This Is 40 isn't always hilarious, but it's ticklishly honest and droll about all the things being a parent can do to a relationship. And why it's still worth it." -- Entertainment Weekly

Good for Kids?
Although the struggles of parenthood are a major plot point in This Is 40, the movie isn't all that suitable for younger viewers. Common Sense Media notes director Judd Apatow's signature "raunchy humor," and the film has an R-rating for sexual content, language and some drug material.
