This Is 40 - The Shooting Script (Electronic book text)

Five years after Judd Apatow introduced us to Pete and Debbie in Knocked Up, Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann reprise their roles as the couple in the writer/director's This Is 40, a comedic look at the everyday life of an American family. What emerges is a portrait of the challenges and rewards of marriage and parenthood: sex and romance, career triumphs and financial hardships, aging parents and maturing children and everything in between. This Is 40 captures what it takes for a family to flourish in the middle of a lifetime together, rendered with the unique intimacy of a filmmaker collaborating with his own wife and children.

The Newmarket Shooting Script Book includes: An introduction by writer/actor Lena Dunham written especially for this edition Judd Apatow's answers to "Five Obvious Questions" and an afterword on his writing/directing process The complete screenplay 35 color photographs Complete cast and crew credits
