40 Year Old Virgin

This movie was hilarious. Not "Something About Mary" caliber, but definitely worth a trip to the theater. I enjoyed the whole thing and then the ending just kicked it up a notch for me. Anyone else see this?

[shock]

saw it a few weeks ago. its a very funny movie, i prefer wedding crashers, which to me ranks up there with classics like animal house, but steve carell is absolutely hilarious in this movie. the waxing scene was very funny, especially the comment he looked like a man-o-lantern. when they filmed that scene, carell really was waxed, and he told the chinese woman that as she waxed him, he would swear at her whatever popped into his head, so it made that scene really funny.

I just watched this movie about a week ago and was very impressed with it. I dont think its as funny as Anchorman or The Wedding Crashers, but I did really enjoy it. Definitely worth seeing thats for sure.

yah, it was pretty funny. Lots of good laughs to be had.

I can't put wedding crashers up that high. it was funny. But the opening 10+ minutes and the last 15 minutes were horrid. I've seen it three times and those parts get worse every time. It's like watching two different movies. Almost like they had this really funny 90 minutes worth of movie and they just coudln't come up with a good way to get it started or a good, believable way to end it. Animal House was a good movie all the way through and just funny as hell.

[shock]

certainly your entitled to your opinion, but i think they rank together, the originality of wedding crashers makes it a movie most people will remember for a long time, and it will be "that movie" that people will buy and watch from time to time. i willing to bet that most people would disagree with you, but then again, i could be wrong.

REAL 40 YEAR OLD VIRGINS SAY ‘40 YEAR OLD VIRGIN’ MOVIE MAKES THEM UNCOMFORTABLE

Sexually-frustrated Star Trek and Star Wars fans sue Universal, ask for restraining order

Hollywood - The new movie “The 40-Year-Old Virgin” will hit theaters next week, but across America, real 40-year-old virgins say promotions for the upcoming movie make them very uncomfortable as friends and family members make comparisons to the film and remind them of the fact they’ve never gotten laid. The virgins have filed a class action lawsuit against Universal Pictures seeking unspecified damages for emotional distress.

Stuart Brownfield (chat screen name: farscaperules23) is a 40-year-old virgin in Nashua, New Hampshire who filed the original lawsuit. He is hoping that the movie will bomb at the box office. “I work in an office (Office Depot) and someone saw the ad for the movie in the paper,” said Brownfield. “Then, this one guy I can’t stand in shipping turns to me and says, ‘Hey Stuart, this movie sounds like it’s right up your alley.’ Everyone started laughing. I was so devastated I couldn’t even watch the new episode of ‘Battlestar Galactica’ that night.”

Actor Steve Carell plays 40-year-old virgin Andy Stitzer in the movie. Andy’s never had sex. His friends consider it their duty to help, but nothing proves effective enough until he meets Trish (Catherine Keener), a 40-year-old mother of three.

“People who have seen the trailer for the movie are now calling me ‘Andy,’” said an emotional Brownfield. “People at the office know that I’ve never gotten laid, but no one really said anything until these movie trailers and posters started appearing. My life has been a nightmare. I haven’t felt this bad since ‘Episode I.’”

“It’s not easy being a virgin, and I really feel for these guys,” said 42-year-old Stan Jennings of Cranston, Rhode Island. Jennings, who works at Industrial Soap Inc., finally lost his virginity last year while having sex with a prostitute who ended up giving him gonorrhea. “I am not a virgin anymore, and it feels great, although I do have some burning. However, being a former virgin, I empathize with those losers, and I think the movie should be stopped.”

Star Trek and Star Wars fans who have been feuding for decades have finally found a common cause in the lawsuit.

“We don’t think it’s funny to make fun of virgins, and we will use all of our powers to stop this film,” said 40year old Larry Nohan, the president of the Star Trek Milwaukee Federation. “This movie is a blatant attempt to humiliate us. Why can’t people just leave us alone with our Uhura porn and stop judging us?”

Lou Peters, a 39-year-old virgin and Star Wars fan from San Diego who lives with his parents, considers himself lucky.

“I’m so glad I’m still 39,” said Peters who wears a Stormtrooper costume on weekends while playing the “Star Wars: Episode III: Revenge of the Sith” videogame online. “One year old older and I would be the laughing stock of my neighborhood.”

Maybe, but probably not. I've read a lot of reviews and talked to a lot of people who've seen it and most felt that beginning didn't fit and the ending was bad and too long. It's definitely not a classic in the vein of Animal House. A funny movie people will watch over and over yes, especially this generation. But it's not a classic.

[Admin]

This movie is nowhere near Animal House in terms of being a classic or being funny and its not even fair for anyone to compare it to that. I think its a funny movie, but its nowhere near Animal House, been then again how often is any comedy on par with Animal House, ya know?

[AHF]

That article is a joke, right Hotlanta? I mean, nobody actually says they are going to sue over a movie that made them feel so bad it was like watching a bad Star Wars movie or made them feel so bad they couldn't watch Battlestar Galactica or that they sure are happy they got gonorea from a prostitute and aren't a virgin anymore.

[DominiqueWilkins]

I will add it to my list of movies to see.

Thanks, good reviews.

[Plainview1981]

Yeah, it's a joke... I took it seriousally at first

until I read it a second time.

Just caught a matinee of the movie and I must say it was F''ing hilarious. The scene with the 2black guys at the videstore agruing where 1 wants the other to give him a "hookup" on some free stuff was a classic. The only thing lame about the movie IMO was the ending with all the singing. Didn't really find that part funny. Other than that I will give it a 4 1/2stars out of 5. I think Dolfan is wrong in saying that it's not as funny as anchorman. I thought it was funnier. Let me borrow a line from the movie and add my twist to it.

Dude I know your Gay because..... You cried when Steve Belkin got kicked off the Ownership team.
