A hilarious cast of characters and wonderfully talented comedians makes The 40 Year Old Virgin a comedic classic, but watching it in 2020 again the film and the jokes does seem dated. The movie would have done so much better if it tried beyond that "R" rating and went for the extra notch in raunchiness.
I thought that this film will just another mindless sex-comedy full of dirty and dumb, but not very funny jokes and I was wrong. This movie somehow reminded me of American Pie's first four parts which were also a sex comedies but still had something more than just dirty jokes, it had a great story too.
One thing I love about Steve Carell is that he leaves a good impression in every movie he's enrolled in. His performance and expressions in "The 40 Year Old Virgin" makes the audience believe in the situation that he is dealing with.
I have rewatched this idiotic movie a disturbing amount of times. It's just an insanely relaxing and casually funny movie for when the world feels heavy and you just need to turn your brain off and laugh.
One of the stupidest movies I've ever had the misfortune to see - full of unnecessary cursing and a lame plot. Avoid this one forever.
I like Judd Apatow's work before "40 year Old Virgin". I LOVED "The Critic," one of my favorite cartoon series ever.
"The 40-Year-Old Virgin" focuses on the character of Andy Stitzer (Steve Carrell), a middle-aged introvert who never had experienced the world of sex. He works at an electronics shop with co-workers David (Paul Rudd), Jay (Romany Malco) and Cal (Seth Rogen) and their boss Paula (Jane Lynch).
The film is just hilarious, the 40 year-old virgin is an amazing that speaks of a very real subject. Andy (Steve Carrel) is a the titles says, a 40 year-old virgin living in an era where sex is relevant for being happy or even normal.
This movie is damn funny. Every 10-15 minutes there is something hilarious happening, the unfortunate Andy makes this absolutely ingenious.
