This is 40 ***

An L.A. couple with two daughters reach their 40th birthdays and deal with the disappointments, struggles, and squabbles of life in their upper 5% world.  He's a struggling music distributor, she has a struggling women's wear shop, and their young adolescent and precocious pre-teen struggle with this American life. It has some fascination as a humorous look at life in a certain strata - that they both have fathers with young families is telling - but the drama lies in the fears, hidden resentments, silences that have been building up over the last 14 years. The pot is about to boil over.
