Movie Review: 40 Year Old Virgin

I must say I was very disappointed in this movie. I'd read all the hype about how good it was and how funny it was, but it wasn't at all what I expected. I suppose if you think people screaming obscenities is funny, then you'll think this movie is hilarious, because that's what 90% of the movie consisted of. I don't, so I didn't. There was also an excessive amount of nudity. I think every woman in it was shown bare breasted at least once--some many times--and of course, they were not natural breasts. They were enhanced, either surgically or digitally. I know that sometimes nudity can be done in an artistic way, but this was about as opposite of that as you can get.

The story, what little actual story there was, was about a 40 year old man who was still a virgin. Three of his so called friends find this out, and decide they are going to rectify that situation. What they end up doing, however, is introducing him to every sleazy, demeaning, degrading form of sex there is--all filmed in graphic detail. He wisely rejects the advice given and the opportunities presented and finds a nice woman that he can just be himself with. She accepts him for who he is, and they end up getting married.

All in all, this movie was little more than an obscenity laden porn flick. There was very little about it that was actually funny, and a lot about it that was crude and vulgar. The only redeeming part of the movie is that the main characters wait until after they are married to have sex.

I'm sorry I wasted my time with this movie. I give it 3 thumbs down.
