If you loved This Is 40, try The King of Staten Island
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

Both films are directed by Judd Apatow, and they sit in Comedy territory. If that's the register that drew you to This Is 40, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The King of Staten Island is
Scott’s life stalled years ago when his firefighter dad died. Now in his mid-20s he’s still crashing on his mom’s couch, tattooing aspirations on his arm, and clouding his days with weed and cronies. His mother’s new boyfriend, another blustery firefighter, forces Scott to confront the stalled engine of himself.
