10 Movie Outtakes That Should Have Stayed In

1. Megan Fox's Extended "Body Check" - This Is 40

Between Trainwreck and This Is 40, Judd Apatow clearly has a knack for wringing winning performances out of unexpected actors, and in the latter case, he directed Megan Fox to by far the most entertaining performance of her career as Debbie's (Leslie Mann) sexy employee Desi.

Those who've seen the movie likely won't forget the scene at Debbie's boutique where Desi strips down to her bra and the considerably older Debbie expresses a fascination with Desi's tight, pert frame, even being invited by Desi to her breasts for a brief moment.

It's a fun gag which benefits from both Fox's sex appeal and some cute riffing between herself and Mann, though the gag reel reveals that this actually went on a little longer, with Mann hilariously declaring of Fox's assets, "I would put floodlights on them."

Granted, This Is 40 is a 133-minute movie already, but getting another great laugh-out-loud one-liner in the mix is surely worth another 10 seconds of screen time, no? See it at 2:59 in the gag reel:
