Si fuera fácil
El director y productor Judd Apatow ('Virgen a los 40'), regresa a su particular universo tragicómico derivado de la crisis de la mediana edad partiendo esta vez de dos personajes conocidos: Debbie (Leslie Mann) y Pete (Paul Rudd), el matrimonio que ya aparecía en su exitosa 'Lío embarazoso' y que ahora adquiere el máximo protagonismo en este spin-off titulado 'This Is 40'. A partir de ellos, el director profundizará en los conflictos derivados del matrimonio y la familia a partir de sus altibajos, sus incovenientes y sus problemas, así como en las cuestiones derivadas en torno a la paternidad. Si en 'Lío embarazoso' descubríamos que esta pareja no era todo lo equilibrada y madura que podría parecernos en un principio, ahora descubriremos por qué, nos introduciremos en sus excentricidades y en la forma en la que afrontan las responsabilidades.
