Judd Apatow blends honest, quirky relationship observations with sometimes hilarious, sometimes banal potty jokes in This is 40. In other words, it’s another Apatow flick. Paradoxically, the humor elements in this film seem to have a good time coexisting with the slice-of-life stresses of a marriage strained by child-rearing and financial woes. My veneration for [...]

If you’re looking for an average and mildly amusing movie to see this movie Take Me Home Tonight is the perfect fit. The references are confusing, the story is bland, and the ideas are just… well… not there. This film feels unpolished and bland. Topher Grace is typical Topher Grace in this film. I don’t [...]
