The 40-Year-Old Virgin (Unrated Widescreen Edition) description
Cult comic actor Steve Carell--long adored for his supporting work on The Daily Show and in movies like Bruce Almighty and Anchorman--leaps into leading man status with The 40 Year-Old Virgin. There's no point describing the plot; it's about how a 40 year-old virgin named Andy (Carell) finally finds true love and gets laid. Along the way, there are very funny scenes involving being coached by his friends, speed dating, being propositioned by his female manager, and getting his chest waxed. Carell finds both humor and humanity in Andy, and the supporting cast includes some standout comic work from Paul Rudd (Clueless, The Shape of Things) and Jane Lynch (Best in Show, A Mighty Wind), as well as an unusually straight performance from Catherine Keener (Lovely & Amazing, Being John Malkovich). And yet... something about the movie misses the mark. It skirts around the topic of male sexual anxiety, mining it for easy jokes, but never really digs into anything that would make the men in the audience actually squirm--and it's a lot less funny as a result. Nonetheless, there are many great bits, and Carell deserves the chance to shine. --Bret Fetzer

The 40-Year-Old Virgin (Unrated Widescreen Edition) Customer Reviews

♥♥♥♥♥

One of the most highly overrated movies of all time

Have you ever seen into a kid, typically five or six years of age, who has discovered that acting a certain way and doing certain things evokes a specific response from adults: "Oh, isn't that funny and cute!" And the kid plays up this behavior over and over and over again, to the point that it's no longer funny and cute, but excruciatingly obnoxious and irritating?

That in a nutshell is "40 Year-old Virgin".

The film takes a set of lines and situations which range from tired to moderately clever, and overplays them literally to death. Almost every scene is too long, the ad libbing is 95% needless and flat, and by the end of the first half-hour the "Aw, gee, isn't Andy cute?" mantra has worn a hole in your head the size of a dinner plate.

Just for kicks I may buy a copy of "40 Year-old Virgin" and edit it down to a 9 or 10 minute short story. It would likely work a lot better.
