3 stars
Part funny, part depressing. Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann (wife of writer/director Judd Apatow) play a couple approaching their respective 40th birthdays while raising two daughters and dealing with financial troubles. Apatow films are generally too raunchy for me, but this one was OK in that respect save for one gross conversation regarding Mann's workout friend and her "nerve damage". I wish I never even saw that scene - eew! But when the film got really into their financial problems and Mann started questioning her marriage, it just got too depressing for me. I was expecting a light comedy, and much of it was, but Apatow should stay away from the serious stuff. Good for fans of Apatow.
