The 40 year old virgin
Forty-year-old Andy Stitzer has done quite a few things in his life. He's got a cushy job stamping invoices at an electronics superstore, a nice apartment with a proud collection of action figures and comic books, good friends, a nice attitude. But there's just one little thing he hasn't quite gotten around to doing yet--something most people have done by this age. Done a lot. Andy's never, ever, ever had sex--not even by accident. So is that such a big deal? Well, for Andy's buddies at the store, it sure is. Although they think he's a bit of an oddball, there's certainly a planetful of stranger (and homelier) guys who've at least had one go at having a go. They consider it their duty to help Andy out of his dire situation and go to great lengths to help him. But nothing proves effective enough to lure their friend out of lifelong chastity until he meets Trish, a 40-year-old mother of three. Andy's friends are psyched by the possibility that "it" may finally happen--until they hear that Andy and Trish have begun their relationship based on a mutual no-sex policy.
You know how you get annoyed in a movie? Not with the movie itself, but because people are laughing so loud during the movie that you can't hear the movie? This is one of those movies. Steve Carrell's acting debut as the 40 year old virgin is hilarious in the same vein as Old School or Road Trip. From him getting waxed to watching him try to hit on girls to the reactions and antics of his coworkers this movie will keep you laughing from beginning to end. Steve Carrell shines as Andy but he isn't alone in this movie. His 3 coworkers (Played by Paul Rudd, Romany Malco, and Seth Rogen) play perfectly off of Carrell's personality and antics. They had me laughing as much as he did.
This movie is R-rated and proud of it. Language and sexual situation are constant. Nudity is sprinkled here and there and no violence of course. Not a movie for the whole family.
What a great way to end the summer movie season. Though I enjoyed Wedding Crashers, it wasn't even half as funny as this movie. As we move into the slower fall movie season, enjoy this naughty comedy that will keep you laughing all the way through.
