The writer and director of The 40-Year-Old Virgin delivers another a hilarious hit comedy! They say that opposites attract. Well, for slacker Ben (Seth Rogen) and career girl Alison (Katherine Heigl), that's certainly the case - at least for one intoxicated evening. Two months and several pregnancy tests later, Ben and Alison go through a hysterically funny, anxious and heartwarming journey that leads to huge laughs in the most outrageous comedy of the year!

Judd Apatow has an aptitude for being able to make people laugh. While there’s nothing overly sophisticated about his humor, it’s nonetheless entertaining and quotable. Just try to find me a 20-something-year-old guy who doesn’t know the lines from The 40-Year-Old Virgin or Knocked Up. I dare you. Even when not directing, just having Apatow’s name attached to a project is almost a guarantee that what you’re about to watch will be funny. Unfortunately, only being funny doesn’t always cut it.

Knocked Up first introduced us to the dysfunctional couple Pete (Paul Rudd) and Debbie (Leslie Mann) and while by the end of the film they have reconciled, things haven’t changed all that much years down the road. As the title suggests, This is 40 follows Pete and Debbie as they both turn 40 and face the fact that they’re getting older and their marriage isn’t as great as they once thought. Furthermore, financial problems with Pete’s record label and thousands of missing dollars from Debbie’s clothing store only put more tension on their strained relationship. Suddenly Ben and Alison don’t seem like such a bad match after all.

This is 40 attempts to delve beyond the comical jokes and gags that Apatow is known for and explore the characters as they transition to a new period in their lives. Unfortunately, it’s not that interesting. Everyone in the film is dealing with a crisis of some sort. Pete’s business is failing, Debbie’s worried about getting old, and both struggling with horrible parents. It’s always one thing after another that apparently goes wrong followed by a brief period of momentary happiness. The film is filled with these up and down moments that don’t really go anywhere and are never fully resolved. This is 40 goes through a midlife crisis in deciding whether it wants to be a comedy or a drama and suffers overall as a result.

There are some redeeming qualities, though. The casting is great, with Rudd and Mann being joined by Jason Segel, Melissa McCarthy, Albert Brooks, Chris O’Dowd, and Megan Fox. Most of the memorable involve the supporting cast including a hilarious scene with Melissa McCarthy at a school or Jason Segel and Chris O’Dowd fawning over Megan Fox. It’s these scenes where Apatow’s style of humor shines. If only there were more of them during the course of the film’s dauntingly long running time of two hours and 15 minutes.

This is 40 shows that “the sort-of sequel to Knocked Up” isn’t a guaranteed success. It has its moments, yes, but overall the film is a tiresome chore that relies on fleeting scenes of pure comedy genius to propel it forward. I guess wisdom doesn’t always come with age in some cases.

After many years of marriage, Pete (Paul Rudd) is the sole male in a household that includes his wife, Debbie (Leslie Mann), and two young daughters (Iris Apatow, Maude Apatow). As Pete struggles to keep his record label afloat, he and Debbie navigate a three-week course of sex and romance, career victories and financial hardships, aging parents and maturing children. They'll have to learn to forgive, forget and enjoy the rest of their lives -- before they kill each other.

At one point or another, everyone has wondered what it would be like to switch places with one of their friends. If you’re the family man type with three screaming kids and a stressful job, don’t you wish you could just switch places with your slacker buddy who just sleeps late and does whatever he wants all day? Yeah, me too. Best friends Mitch and Dave feel the exact same way, and after taking a piss in a mysterious fountain their wishes come true and they switch bodies, taking on each others role in life. Talk about a golden opportunity, right?

Ryan Reynolds and Jason Bateman star as Mitch and Dave in The Change-Up, a comedy about changing lives for a day (or two). While changing places seems like fun at first, the two soon realize that they had it good beforehand and must figure out a way to return everything back to normal before they ruin their lives and their friendship.

In a summer where R-rated comedies have been striving (The Hangover: Part II, Horrible Bosses) The Change-Up makes a mediocre splash in the comedy pool. In the first few minutes you get a sense of how the jokes are delivered; babies slamming their heads against cribs and having disgusting poop splattered all over your face. This film goes to the extreme in terms of raunchiness and for a while it works.

Mitch is your typical sex-driven stoner dude whose daily routine consists of figuring out which bong to take a hit from or who he’s going to sleep with that night. Dave on the other hand has a wife and three kids and is too busy working as a lawyer to really have any fun. Naturally, Ryan Reynolds is the funnier of the two from a situational standpoint. He doesn’t hesitate to state the obvious; he’s blunt and too the point, even with the little kids.

This is all fine for about the first 30 minutes. After that, the shock factor of much of the humor wears thin and it becomes just another comedy. That’s the thing about The Change-Up; nothing sets it apart from many of the other comedies this year. It has its moments but nothing stands out to make it great. Both Reynolds and Bateman do a decent job at making the audience laugh, and they manage to pull off the whole role reversal aspect pretty convincingly.

The Change-Up is good for some laughs but ultimately doesn’t leave that great of a lasting impression. It takes itself way too seriously towards the end with the theme of living your own life, becoming a better person, etc. With Horrible Bosses released not too long ago and the upcoming 30 Minutes or Less on the horizon, The Change-Up is caught somewhere in the middle of laugh out loud funny and laughing out of sympathy funny.

A married father and a swinging single swap bodies after a wild night of drinking, and do their best not to throw each other's lives into complete chaos while scrambling to figure out a way to get back in their own skin. Dave (Jason Bateman) and Mitch (Ryan Reynolds) grew up together. They used to be inseparable, but these days they're lucky if they cross paths every few months. Dave is a successful lawyer and happily married father of three; Mitch is a single sexual dynamo locked in a perpetual state of arrested adolescence. And while Mitch admires Dave for having a gorgeous wife (Leslie Mann), happy kids, and a high-paying job, Dave envies his unhitched pal's freewheeling lifestyle and his ability to bed any woman who shoots him a seductive glance. Then one night, after having a few too many, Mitch and Dave voice their mutual admiration for one another, never once suspecting they might be about to find out how the other half lives. However, upon waking up the following morning, the two lifelong pals discover that they have somehow traded places. At first the thought of getting a momentary reprieve from their regular routines is an amusing novelty, but the longer it lasts, the more they just want their old lives back. Just when it seems that things can't get any more complicated, Dave's stunning legal associate Sabrina (Olivia Wilde) drops a bombshell, and Mitch gets a surprise visit from his estranged father (Alan Arkin)
