Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!

Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!

StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Thomas Drufke Comedy is probably the one genre that is most difficult to hold up over time. It's the one genre that isn't timeless. Most jokes rely on pop culture references, but The 40-Year-Old Virgin manages to do the impossible, make a timeless comedy.In my opinion, this is Steve Carell and Judd Apatow at their best. While most Carell roles are filled with goofy and over-the-top humor, and most Apatow films are overlong and too raunchy, this film hits on all those cylinders in a good way. This is one of the dirtiest and raunchiest films that I've seen, but I can't picture it working any other way. Especially because that side of things makes you appreciate the really sweet romance between Carell and Catherine Keener. That relationship only works if you understand the world he's living in outside of his romance with her, and the stakes that the film sets up.This film also features what is perhaps the greatest comedy ensemble of this generation. You have Carell just beginning to hit his prime, Paul Rudd, Seth Rogen, and Romany Malco all rounding out the work group of friends pushing him to lose his virginity. That's not even mentioning Keener, Jane Lynch, Leslie Mann, Elizabeth Banks, and a young Kat Dennings and Jonah Hill. All of them create such memorable characters and scenes with the help of Apatow and Carell's hilarious dialogue. And yes, Apatow had done a bit of television work prior to this, but it's his first directorial effort for a feature film. Quite the impressive start.There are so many infamously memorable scenes. From the body waxing, to the poker table, the condom scene, the shenanigans from Elizabeth Banks, Leslie Mann drunk driving, or the speed dating scene. From beginning to end, this was comedy gold. And surprisingly, every joke hit just as hard as it did when I first saw the film years ago. Sure, it's hard not to acknowledge the films raunchy humor, but the romance is just as good.+Still holds up+The work group is perfectly cast+Balance between comedy and romance+Impeccably written9.5/10

jenniferfox-40620 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.

antoinedb2001 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.

Ana C. P. Cruz In my viewer opinion this movie is an epic in the history of comedy cinema. It introduced me to know and get in touch with Judd Apatow work, made me fan of Steve Carell and start following the career of Seth Rogen. This success should be considered a classic! Although an excessively long movie, we laugh throughout the scenes because, over all, the conception, the story, the characters, the places, the improvised dialogs and even the chest depilation of Andy were very well done. So, if you want to end a boring, bad, unfair day, or simply purge the depression daemons, I highly recommend you to watch The 40 Year Old Virgin.
