Is it me, or is this “Dining With Barry & Barb” scene from This Is 40 one of the best scenes from the material that Judd Apatow shot, even though it didn’t make the final cut? Apologies for being seven days late but as perverse, lifeless and emotionally shut-down as it sounds, the “expecting and offering nothing leads to serenity in a marriage” rap is at least a novel concept, and one that I’ve never heard voiced in a film before.
