best movie i've ever seen.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

A nice teenager film. the good point - the chemistry between Shannyn Sossamon and Josh Hartnett. in rest, the expectation of the end of celibate and the love story evolution. but , like many films of same genre, many flaws, a sacred event of a Christian life as pretext, unrealistic situations, teen humor, a not real inspired end. sure, for a precise target , it is the perfect choice. but , for the other categories , it remains a too easy film.

After his girlfriend dumps him Matt goes through a lot of meaningless sex that makes him feel bad,so in order to give himself time to recover he decides to give up sex and anything to do with sex for Lent.I liked the idea, but the movie ended up being a disappointment.Josh Hartnett is pretty bad in this movie. I can't think of any other movies with him, but considering that I know his name he did a few, so he might be a good actor. But this movie really doesn't show it. I wonder if he even knew it was a comedy, because he sure didn't act as if he did.Actually besides having a more or less original idea for a romantic comedy the movie didn't go too far from it. The joke was pretty much the same all through 90 minutes. And it was also stupid. It was the kind of sentiment I would expect for a teen movie, but the characters in this one were in their 20's, the whole "omg the poor guy can't live without sex" thing is just dumb. And this is what the whole movie was about, exaggerated and annoying.Also, while I think sex themed comedies can be very funny. Only this one was trying to be romantic, and this is what made her sexual theme fail. Some of the jokes were off, and seemed more vulgar than funny for the genre. Actually the only time I laughed was at the Bagel Boy.The story was not well thought through. It makes no sense whatsoever to me why Erica was mad at Matt about the whole abstinence thing. It's not like he decided not to have sex ever again in his life, or that it was a personal insult to her or that he was supposed to tell everything about himself on one date only. Silly. Same as the ending. I don't want to spoil, but what happened with Nicole was in no way funny. And it was also pretty unnecessary, one could have done it better without it.

Romantic comedies are not usually what I prefer to watch, but "40 Days and 40 Nights" would be an exception. This movie is not your traditional romantic comedy. While most scenes were hilarious, the plot of the movie was beyond what you would expect. A goofy romantic comedy is what everyone needs once in a while, and "40 Days and 40 Nights" is by far the best romantic comedy that I have ever watched in my life.The cast for this film was beyond excellence. Josh Hartnett is the kind of person you would expect to be in a horror film or action thriller, but this movie showed that he is also magnificent at comedy. Shannyn Sossoman was also the perfect person to play in this movie, as Josh Hartnett's co-star. The supporting cast was also a bunch of comedians, bringing this movie to life."40 Days and 40 Nights" was one of the best romantic comedies I have seen, and it will remain so for many years to come.

40 days and 40 nights is not a masterpiece. That has to be stated first. It's very shallow, filled with smut and a bad script. But I enjoyed it anyway. This is mainly because Josh Hartnett and Shannyn Sossamon had very good chemistry and it was fun to watch them together. The way they interact at the laundromat and on their first is just so natural and sweet that it nearly melted my heart. Next to that there were some mildly funny jokes. Not 'rolling-over-the-floor-laughing' but entertaining enough to put a smile on your lips. It's a movie to watch when you have a gigantic bucket of ice cream and you're in the mood for mindless entertainment. If you're the type of person who's afraid his/her I.Q points will drop drastically when watching this, avoid avoid avoid. For the rest of you, watch and be entertained.
