This Is 40 and a Fabulous Giveaway!

Lifestyle | 19 comments

The contest is now closed and reader Nicki was randomly chosen as the winner.

Several weeks back Mr. Fab and I went to a movie and saw the previews for This Is 40 and we couldn’t quit laughing! We are dying to see the movie and tonight are going to the sneak peek viewing of it – I’ll be sure to update you to let you know how it is, but it’s Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann, so what’s not to love about it already. Do you remember their characters Pete and Debbie from Knocked Up? This is being called the “sort-of sequel” to that movie? We just re-watched it to re-familiarize ourselves with Pete and Debbie.

After years of marriage, Pete lives in a house of all females: wife Debbie and their two daughters, eight-year-old Charlotte (Iris Apatow) and 13-year-old Sadie (Maude Apatow).  As he struggles to keep his record label afloat, he and Debbie must figure out how to forgive, forget and enjoy the rest of their lives…before they kill each other.

 

What emerges is a deeply honest portrait of the challenges and rewards of marriage and parenthood in the modern age. We get to follow Pete and Debbie’s three-week navigation of sex and romance, career triumphs and financial hardships, aging parents and maturing children.

    We’ve been going to a movie per week with all of the fantastic movies coming out right now, and I’m loving it! I laughed a lot, too, during the trailer for “This is 40” and I will DEFINITELY be going to see this one. (I have a secret crush on Paul Rudd ever since “The 40 yr. old virgin”.
