This Is 40 (2012)

This Is 40 (2012), an American romantic comedy-drama film, was written and directed by Judd Apatow. In the five years since Knocked Up, Debbie owns a boutique with Desi and Jodi working for her, while Pete runs his own record label with his friends Ronnie and Cat. However, Pete’s business is struggling financially as he promotes the reunion of Graham Parker & The Rumour. On top of that, Debbie and Pete are also trying to navigate their relationship with their two daughters: Sadie, a young teenager, and eight-year-old Charlotte. In celebration of Debbie’s 40th birthday, the couple takes a romantic weekend trip to a resort where they indulge in marijuana cookies and openly discuss ways they could hypothetically harm each other.

After speaking with her friends Jason and Barb, Debbie seeks to enhance her marriage and family by focusing on exercise and strengthening her relationship with her father. She shares with Pete the negative effects of lending money to his father, Larry, and urges him to stop. Unfortunately, when Pete visits Larry, he is unable to relay the message and ends up giving him more money. Meanwhile, Debbie has a visit with her gynecologist and learns that she is pregnant. However, she chooses not to disclose this news to Pete. Later on, when she witnesses student Joseph bullying Sadie, she gets extremely upset and confronts him. Her outburst leads to a heated argument between Catherine (Joseph’s mother) and Pete.
