I went into this film with fairly low expectations, but boy was I pleasantly surprised.
This was a great movie, with a ton of fantastic jokes, a storyline that a lot of people approaching 40 can relate to, and a great overall message.
It is of course vulgar and crude at times, but it's an Apatow production, so you should know what to expect in that department by now. Fortunately it all comes together really well and makes for a really entertaining film.
The only negatives were that it was a bit long (although it doesn't really feel its length for the most part), and I felt that Jonathan Lithgow's character could have been written a little bit better.
Ignore the bad reviews; if you're a yuppie approaching 40 (or have already been there), you'll find plenty to love.
