The 40-Year-Old Virgin - Movie Review

A middle aged geek who has an extensive collection of comic books, action figures and collectible models and works in an electronics store seems reasonably happy with his life. However, one day his friends and co-workers discover that, due do his severe jitters around women, he is still a virgin. Appalled at this state of affairs, they set out to find a woman willing to give him that first experience. Many disastrous and comical situations ensue.

In order to enjoy this film, you have to be in a very immature frame of mind; preferably with your buddies and a little drunk or stoned. If those conditions are met, you might think this is one of the funniest movies you have ever seen. If not, you'll probably think this movie is Lame (with a capital "L"). Just about every joke in this movie is of a sexual nature and you probably heard most of it in junior high. Don't attempt to watch this movie with anyone you get embarrassed around as the situations presented in this film will only heighten those feelings. In summary, this is not a smart comedy, just a immature one and certain conditions should be met for the best chance of enjoyment.

Rating: 2.5 of 5 stars
Would I watch it again: No
Starring: Steve Carell, Catherine Keener, Paul Rudd

I typically watch movies on Monday, Wednesday and Friday while riding the ACE Train from Tracy to Santa Clara. The opinions expressed are those of me, myself and I.
