40 Days and 40 Nights (DVD)

Everyone knows the story of this to a certain extent, we have all been there, and some even call it marriage. No sex for 40 days and nights. No pornography, no masturbation, no foreplay, no kissing. Impossible? Maybe. For lent? Perhaps just doable. But for a man, when he falls for the girl of his dreams? Surely no one could. Could they? SYNOPSIS Matt Sullivan (Josh Hartnett) has been off the rails since breaking up with his girlfriend six months ago. Sleeping around with a different girl nearly every night. Never the same way twice. And in some outrageously unlikely situations. He decides there is only ...  Read the complete review

How does going without sex for 40 days and 40 nights sound? To many, it may not make much of a difference, but for Matt Sullivan (Josh Hartnett), it's one of the hardest things he's ever had to do.

I seem to be having something of a run on crap movies lately, aside from the quite excellent Spiderman which I finally got around to seeing this weekend...but probably won't bother reviewing when the rest of the world seems to have got there first and done so rather excellently already! 40 Days and 40 Nights was a movie I was warned about by enough people to have little interest in watching at the cinema, but when presented with the opportunity of a freebie I wasn't going to pass it up...although sometimes even 'free' has costs. The cost here was 90+ minutes of mindnumbing boredom and excruciatingly poor entertainment. 40 Days and 40 Nights must easily ...  Read the complete review

This was on at the cinema, I had watched most of the other releases in the cinema at the time I watched this, so this is what the viewing of this movie was decided upon! This is a mediocre movie, nothing more, nothing less, and my honest opinion of it would be to wait for it to come out on video before you go to the cinema and watch it, alternatively, if you really do want to go to the cinema, go and watch Dog Soldiers instead if you haven't already, it will entertain you more! 40 days and 40 nights is meant to be a comedy, but it has got quite a good storyline, which I feel they could have done more with. This isn't your typical teen comedy, but I have ...  Read the complete review
