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 humour 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

Each generation bequeaths us a small clutch of raunchy comedies, in the 80's, there was Bachelour Party, Porkies, Weird Science, in the 90's - American Pie and now, the "40 Year Old Virgin".
I am 40 and not a virgin, so I could only relate to half the film, had I still been a virgin, I would probably have been robbed of the 437 best experiences of my life, and 75 of the most hazardous and worrisome. But that's life. This film is packed with amusing characters, and well acted and written. I intend watching it many times in the hard years to come as I revert more and more towards the virginal state again.

The Bottom Line:
Despite funny supporting performances, The 40 Year Old Virgin suffers from a unappealing turn by Carrell in the lead and a tendency towards inanity (e.g. the chest-shaving scene and the final musical number); its reputation outstrips its actual merit as a film.

I watched the whole movie because i found it interesting.
The only funny parts in the movie were what his buddies did.
During the course of the movie, I found the most of the scenes almost hard
to watch. And it was not that funny, i hardly laughed.
If there was a naked chick in the tub telling you to get in i think you'd know what you would do. I thought it was funny though when his friend got in the tub with her after everyone else left.
anyway 2/5 stars because the story was not that bad.
I just thought the main character was too pathetic to be real and the movie wasn't that good overall, sorry.

This was the funniest movie I have seen in a long, long time...I LOVE Steve's facial expressions, mannerisms, and overall comedic delivery. The supporting cast is great as well. And although the movie contains a fair share of "raunchy" humor, the way it's presented here it never comes across as "over-the-top" -- many OTHER movies are guilty of seeking the dirtiest, most shocking material possible, which DOESN'T shock me, but rather just turns me off (Borat, anyone?). THIS movie is just plain funny, with enough raunch to feel naughty (in a good way :-).

If you want a comedy, a real comedy that deals with a lot of the questions many face in their daily lives, than this is a movie for you!
First of all, the entire cast is superb. Every character in this movie plays off of every other character so well, at times you may forget that you're watching a movie and feel like you're actively THERE with these guys! Second, the movie itself has a great message in the undertone; and that is that everyone is different and should live their life, with THEIR own goals and dreams.
This movie also has some of the best one-liners to come out in a long time, and led by the master of improv comedy in Steve Carell, with great supporting cast members; this movie will have you laughing out loud the entire time!
Classic movie, I watch it everyitme it's on tv even though I own the DVD becuase its just...that...funny!!! Put it on a pedestal, you won't regret it!
