The 40 Year Old Virgin (2005)

[Movie 50 / Day 31]


I'm not a big fan of Steve Carell. I didn't find him particularly funny in Anchorman, not even the infamous "I love lamp" scene.

I don't find this movie massively funny. It has few true laugh moments. Yet, for some reason, I really like it. I think it helps that I really like both Paul Rudd (massively under-rated IMO) and Seth Rogen.

Simple plot. 40 year old bloke is a virgin. His friends try and help him lose his virginity. He falls in love with a girl. Loses virginity.

No amazing plot, or clever twists, no massive laughs, and yet it's enjoyable. I especially love the singalong finish.


My rating: 6.7 / 10
IMDB rating: 7.5 / 10
Running time: 133 mins
