2012: Top 10 movies of the year, by Matt Pais

<b>3. "This is 40"</b> <br><br> Judd Apatow's best movie is both very funny and very perceptive about getting older individually and as a couple -- with some of the strongest jokes used to underscore the tension, not dissolve it. "This is 40" is upsetting and comforting, a deceptively mature comedy in which happiness is never easy to come by, and hard work usually, but not always, pays off.
