It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

I can't believe people think this movie is good. It isn't funny. The language is filthy. The so called comedy is lame. It made me sick on my stomach. The music is horrible. The whole thing is a piece of crap. This type of movie wasn't funny 30 years ago and still isn't funny now. Please people come up with something classy and funny with some decent actors.

I loved this movie! I expected it to be crass and filled with gutter humour. In fact it deals with the subject of sex with sensitivity - as well as a lot of humour. I smiled from start to finish - especially loved the ending. Carrell is brilliant, as are all the supporting actors. It's a symphony of humour.

The 40 year-old virgin is a romantic comedy film directed by Judd apatow and stars Steve carell, Seth rogen, Paul rudd, and Catherine keener. it is about a man Andy Stitzer (Steve Carell) who is an amiable single guy working at a big-box store. Living alone, 40- year-old Andy spends his free time playing video games and curating his action- figure collection. Despite his age, Andy has never had sex, so his friends, including the laid-back David (Paul Rudd), push Andy towards losing his virginity. While attempting to get over his awkwardness around female customers, Andy meets local shop owner Trish (Catherine Keener), and they begin a tentative romance. this is a very funny movie that i haven't laughed so hard at in a long time. right off the bat it has a good character development. everyone has a backstory that you can see or can't see, and it all concludes with a happy ending for each of them. what's great about this film is Steve carell, the supporting cast, the humor, and the writing. it all blends together to create a funny and sometimes heartwarming film about having whoopee cushion. it has great timing and solid comedic performances from the likes of Paul rudd, and Seth rogen just to name a few. you laugh with Steve carell and you yell at the screen saying, "don't do this" or "don't do that!" the love triangle is very believable and very real. it is there and it isn't forced at all. Catherine keener and Steve carell have great chemistry and it never outstays it's welcome. it's sweet and very romantic. you really get the feeling that they're in love, and it's a great romance.what this movie does well is that it's aware that it's a comedy and it takes that advantage and makes a said comedy with it. watch it. you'll have a fun time with this movie if you're single, or on a date night.

In 'A forty year old virgin', the subject of sex was handled with pure "American Style" sensibilities. Most of the sex talks bordered on silliness as in an oversexed nation like USA, according to a rough estimate there is a 'one in a million chance' of finding somebody who is a virgin at the ripe age of 40. Director Judd Appatow and screen writer Steve Carrell have made a vain attempt to add drama to their film with the depiction of a futile battle of opinions and an idle clash of ideologies. For this purpose they chose to highlight the plight of a happy-go-lucky person who has absolutely no qualms being a virgin and those who are not happy at this strange person's outlandish ideas. As the film keeps the viewers dangling, it is felt that 2 hours is too long a time to deal with such an ordinary theme. Many viewers would not hesitate to express that it could have been easily handled in the standard Hollywood cinema duration of 90 minutes. As love does have an important place in all kinds of relationships even sex, this film ends on a positive note with the triumph of love over sex. This can be termed as this film's major achievement.
