This is 40

This is another Judd Apatow film starring the family of Paul Rudd's character in Knocked Up. It shows the two daughters, now about 13 and 9, dealing with puberty and fighting, and the wife and husband dealing with sex and money difficulties. There are many funny moments and eventually things turn bad. Tension builds up, and there is a big fight with the husband and wife. There is great character development and some hilarious day to day occurrences that mostly everyone can relate to. It is a feel good family movie worth watching, although it is a bit long.

Uncle Buck (1989)

This is an old movie that I have caught parts of here and there while growing up. It has John Candy and the Macaulay Culkin before he starred in Home Alone. This movie is about a brother-in-law that is asked to watch 3 kids for about 2 weeks. They give him grief and he is tough on them, especially the 15 year old girl who is eager to go out and lose her virginity. There are some good dialogue between various characters, especially during the awkward late 80's. Many of the themes are timeless, and you can't help but root for Buck. It is funny to see the yellow and crooked teeth that many people had back then. There are some corny parts (it is a family movie for both kids and adults), but also has some muttered sexual language that is pretty laugh out loud funny.
