Cult comic actor Steve Carell--long adored for his supporting work on IThe Daily Show/I and in movies like IBruce Almighty/I and IAnchorman/I--leaps into leading man status with IThe 40 Year-Old Virgin/I. 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 (IClueless/I, IThe Shape of Things/I) and Jane Lynch (IBest in Show/I, IA Mighty Wind/I), as well as an unusually straight performance from Catherine Keener (ILovely Amazing/I, IBeing John Malkovich/I). 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. I--Bret Fetzer/I

 Redefines Modern Comedy Movies November 11, 2008
Pat Shand (Freeport, NY USA)
"The 40-Year-Old Virgin" pretty much changed the comedy scene, in my mind. It's changing how these kinds of movies are made, and it also added so many new players to the game. Not only did it put Steve Carell on the map, it also introduced the world to Seth Rogan, popularized Paul Rudd, and showed that Judd Apatow isn't just a great TV writer, he's also a great film producer. He's the head of comedy's most successful band of actors and writers, and rarely stumbles. And this is the movie that started Apatow's winning streak that spawned movies such as Knocked Up, Superbad, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and Pineapple Express. br / br /Aside from what it started, this is a great film. It's obviously a labor of love, and you don't need the expansive extras to see how much went into the making of it. Not only was there a great shooting script, but Apatow also encouraged all of the actors to improv, which produced great scenes such as the entire "You know how I know you're gay?" bit. The actors were all at the top of their games, delivering funny and--in Carell's case, anyway--nuanced performances. The story is as poignant as it is hilarious, and trust me, it's funny as hell. It's every bit as good as the best of Apatow's more recent work, which is saying quite a lot. br / br /For vulgar, clever, emotional, well-written films, there's no better place to look but in Apatow's direction. And "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" delivers in every way. br / br /9/10

Cosmoetica (New York, USA)
The 40-Year-Old Virgin is one of those independent films that comes along, every so often, and becomes a hit. A few years ago it was My Big Fat Greek Wedding that was a surprise hit, and a few years before that it was The Blair Witch Project. This film is superior to both of those earlier films, and has more in common with another sleeper film that predated both of those films, 1998's Office Space, which was one of the first films to flop theatrically, yet become a big hit on the then-new DVD format. The 40-Year-Old Virgin shares a similar sensibility toward the dullness of the work environment (this time a Circuit City/Best Buy like electronics store vs. a computer programming company, but its satire of the workplace is dead on. br / The difference between The 40-Year-Old Virgin and Office Space, however, is that the bulk of the newer film focuses on the personal lives of its lead character and his co-workers David (Paul Rudd)- who's stalking his ex-girlfriend, Jay (Romany Malco)- a black, bald Lothario, and Cal (Seth Rogen)- an ugly, bearded wannabe novelist, who make it their mission to get him laid at any cost. Andy Stitzer (Steve Carell, of Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy and the NBC tv show The Office) is a collector of `action figures' from the 1970s and 1980s (such as The Six Million Dollar Man's boss, Oscar Goldman), avid Survivor watcher, along with an old black neighbor, has a framed Asia rock poster, a ton of video games, and has somehow never managed to get laid in his four decades, although he's come close. Any male who has pined for females that he never got to be with will be able to relate to Andy's dilemma- if not to the extent of Andy's angst, certainly the gist of it. His co-worker's advice ranges from the bad to the ridiculous, as each of them could easily be termed loser, as well. He agrees to go out with his pals, and ends up being puked on by a gorgeous, but drunken blond named Nicky (Leslie Mann), who nearly gets them both killed with her driving. He then hits on Beth (Elizabeth Banks), a sexpot at the local bookstore, and succeeds in getting her interested. That's when he meets a sexy and kind divorced grandmother named Trish (Catherine Keener), who runs an EBay store at the same mall where Andy's store is.... It's a chick flick for guys, in a sense, yet better for it. Watch this film at least once every year or two, and it'll never get old, for there always have been and always will be Andy Stitzers. That's a damned good thing! br /

Luv my dogs!

Such a cute movie very funny. A great story about (as another reviewer says) guys that care about each other. Beware for children that there is nudity, lots of 'dirty words' and adult situations. But it's all there to build the plot and characters. I love this movie and it's happy ending!

The title alone convinced me to never watch this movie, but then a buddy loaned it to me. br / br /The premise does work. You see how this guy lives, and he's credible as a character and as a virgin. I love his bicycle, and I haven't driven anything with a motor since moving to Asia in December 1999, so I notice such things. br / br /However, the humor just wasn't funny. Very lame, pre-teen, predictable. He's surrounded by stereotypes, and really isn't he one too? I found it impossible to care, so I watched something else. br / br /But hey, two stars. That is one more than I expected to give. Way to go movie! br /
