The 40 Year-Old Virgin

Running Time: 118 minutes.
Media: DVD.

What do you get when you throw Steve Carell, Seth Rogen, Paul Rudd and Jane Lynch and stir the lot with a massive collection of 1980's action figures and enough sexual imagery and drug references to contrast with the hilariously vanilla Carell?

You have, in this case, the extended version of "40 Year-Old Virgin". Andy Stizer, played by Carell, is a straight-shooting 40 year old who is in general, a nice guy who just needs a decent break... To find love... and a good lay... His first...

With the help of Seth Rogen, Paul Rudd and Romany Malco... Andy gets himself in all matter of strife, inclusive of getting thrown up on, getting his chest waxed in pure agony and the worst speed dating session on record...

This film has so many parts which made me smirk like a teenager reading a dirty mag; and so many quips from Rogen, Rudd, Malco and Lynch that made me chuckle. Rogen and Rudd play off one another so well it's amazing... There is a love story hidden amongst the craziness and it plays out well with all the comedy in between; so well it almost becomes unbearably hilarious, so much I almost got a sore jaw from all the laughing...

You find yourself rooting (pardon the pun) for Andy as he moves from one disaster to another unti lthe somewhat predictable end. Catherine Keener plays Carell's love interest in the movie, of whom, in the MM's personal opinion, is actually kinda hot... I'm gonna give this 4½ stars... It's a great film but this was too much laughing for me!
