Why would anyone choose this over This Is 40?


I mean, if you seriously choose to go see this over This Is 40, I can only assume you have bad taste.

I intend to see This Is 40 ... I think.
But today we were watching trailers and TI40 did not seem as good as TGT.
The reason is that the jokes in the TI40 trailer were kind of trite and predictable,
where the whole theme of TGT of mother-son was more universal and much less
done. You see a lot of Father-Son movies, but there are very few movies that have
the guts to take on mother-son.

I really enjoyed this, so much so that I am not looking forward so much to
TI40 even though I enjoy Paul Rudd. I think the writing will be smarter and
more intelligent on TGT. Just my opinion. Not need to insult anyone for disagreeing
with you. It sounds like you have not seem both movies so it's a bit silly anyway
to do.

The great thing about living in the U.S. is that we don't have to choose. We can watch them both, or one, or neither. And be open-minded enough to have a variety of tastes. We can like both -

"Pink Flamingos" and "The Sound of Music"

"Family Guy" and "Family Matters"

Taylor Swift and Kanye West


(Okay, maybe not Kanye.)

I've seen both, Guilt Trip is more of an actual comedy that has funny moments that can actually happen. This is 40 is more of a horrible drama film where there's random jokes. This movie also didn't have gross out comedy and was a funny one that didn't revolve around sex.

This is Forty was a little raunchy for my taste.

Integrity is what you do when's nobody's watching.

I agree. What really got me was the random scene when Paul Rudd had a mirror and was trying to look at his ass. It did nothing to the story, the movie is already 2 hours long we don't need all this unfunny bullsh*t

reply

agree with most of the above

TI40 would be good to watch with friends, whereas TGT id watch with my mum. i enjoyed both movies but TI40 had too many strange moments that didnt fit and TGT was just a nice all round movie
