There are a lot of great movies that are going to be available on Blu-ray and DVD in the near future (yeah!). One of them is This is 40, which will be available on a Blu-ray Combo Pack with an Unrated Version, DVD, Digital Copy & UltraViolet, on March 22, 2013.
I have not seen the movie yet but I heard good things about it. As a “40 something” year old person, I’m sure I can relate to the film. I also adore the film’s stars including Paul Rudd, Leslie Mann, Melissa McCarthy, Jason Segel and John Lithgow. In fact I’ve met Jason before (he’s a really nice guy) and in a couple of weeks I’ll be interviewing Paul Rudd about his new film, Admission.
If you are unfamiliar with the film, here is the synopsis;
A midlife milestone sends a long-married couple into an uproarious tailspin in This is 40, coming to Blu-rayCombo Pack, DVD and On Demand on March 22, 2013, from Universal Studios Home Entertainment.
Audiences fell in love with contentiously loving couple Pete and Debbie in Judd Apatow’s comedy sensation Knocked Up. Five years later Apatow reunites with his hilarious creations as Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann reprise their roles as husband and wife balancing the challenges and rewards of marriage and parenthood with the milestone of turning 40.
The Blu-ray Combo Pack includes a hilarious unrated edition along with more than an hour of extended and additional scenes, backstage documentaries andcommentary by the cast and of the raucous and raunchy comedy that Entertainment Weekly’s Owen Gleiberman says is “laugh-out-loud funny.”
The movie will run for about 2 hours and 14 minutes and is rated R for crude humor, pervasive language and some drug material and sexual content.
There looks to be a lot of bonus features too.

I watched this with my husband and thought it was pretty funny. It got kind of slow at some parts but for the most part I liked it.
