I enjoyed parts of it and it left me feeling happy, which is what I like so much about this kind of I-know-it's-cliché-but-it's-alright comedy. But there is just too much going on, and most of it is superflous.
This kind of film should tell it's story in 90-105 minutes and be done with it. This Is 40 rambles on for 137 minutes, and it just doesn't hold up. With a tightened edit, you'd be left with a great cast, a good setup and lots of fun. It's too bad you have to be bored in between the good bits.
Why was it so damn long? Had this been a 90 minute comedy I could see this being a good film but there was so much filler it was hard to even care for the characters.
Good comedy movie, with several good references of movies, and specials participations, Paul Rudd was great, I never think that Leslie Mann would show her right breast, for sort of a spin off of knocked up I was expecting more of this movie

I agree with many comments in here..
This is a funny movie, but it's about 30 minutes too long. If it was shorter it'd be a killer. Now it's still amusing with somewhat dull parts that doesn't seem to fit into the film.

Infuriatingly clichéd movie.The deleted scene with E from Eels was better than anything that made it into the movie itself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtKJxbF07rg
