40 Days and 40 Nights (DVD) Reviews

I re-watched 40 days and 40 nights this month and have to say it was one of the worst films i remember seeing; the last time i watched it was when i was at universiaty and the general cheesesy theme was quite entertaiing, however revisiting it now i found it very poor. The story centers on Josh Harnett who is in love with his ex and has been on a ...  Read the complete review

Aimed at adolescent and slightly above audiences, this is a comedy tale of how a young single guy goes without sex and everything related for the 40 days of lent. This is a very entertaining movie with a few acceptable moral ideas thrown in for good measure. Like a lot of things in life it's a bad break up that sparks this ...  Read the complete review

This is a comedy that relies heavily on sex scenes and sexual gags however the one thing it crucially fails to do is to be funny, I managed to sit through the entire film, an act I now regret and question why I bothered, withoutlaughing or even smiling once. The film stars Josh Hartnett as Matt a young man whose life revolves around a ...  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. Following a messy breakup, he vows to stay celibate during Lent, leaving him wide open to his friends and work colleagues in terms of bets on how long ...  Read the complete review

This film in some ways is a great film, as it shows a typical male struggle to go without sex for a while, but in other ways it is rubbish. I believe its one of the poorest fims that Josh Hartnett has ever done, and he has done some great films such as, Pearl Harbour and The faculty. Now im not saying its so poor i would never watch it again, but ...  Read the complete review

What a great film!!! I love this film, as i normally like any film with Josh Hartnett in. The film itself is based in America, and when Matt Sullivan (i recently dumped young man) gets promiscous after his heartbreak finally realises that sleeping around is not the answer and decides to give up sex and anything sexual for 40 days and ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

>>>> Synopsis Poor Matt Sullivan (Josh Hartnett), having been dumped by his beautiful ex some 6 months ago, he is still struggling to get over her. Not that he suffers from lack of opportunity, as Matts good looks and boyish charm makes him a hit with the ladies, it’s just that every time his date moves into the bedroom, he ...  Read the complete review

I found this film intersting because you can see from a mans point of view what sexual frustration is all about. Josh hartnett plays the main character whom plans to take a vow of celabacy for forty days and forty nights. He meets a woman he likes during this time and the film shows how a relationship does not have to be based on sex although they ...  Read the complete review

It was only until today that i realised that people have such negative feelings towards this film. I think it is a lovely romance that shows us that a relationship can be more intense when sex is totally off the cards. When you have waited, as you will see in this film, the results are explosive. maybe i am also a tinsy bit over protective when it ...  Read the complete review

Forty Days and Forty Nights sees the latest career slump from Josh Hartnett, whose impressive 'high school' performances in The Faculty and The Virgin Suicides seem to have lead to left him a little burned out, capable only of gung-ho cobblers like Pearl Harbour, and this pile o' junk. In this film, Josh, who has some very ...  Read the complete review

This could be classed as a teen mmovie but minus the cheesy and predictable storylines that we are all so tired off. The storyline involves a boy (Josh Harnett) who after breaking up with his girlfriend vows to not have sex for 40 days and 40 nights- the title. Unlucky for him, during this time, he meets the girl of his dreams and his will power ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

This film is definatly not 'the one film you watch this year'. Possibly its the one comedy you won't laugh at all year, as is what I found. Having seen adverts in the cinema for months before hand I thought the film looked very good...and it did, but what I was unaware of is that they used every half decent film clip in this in the ...  Read the complete review

Yes that's WINK'S, you haven't read that wrong and yes this is an opinion about a sex comedy so the temptation for an alternative title was there. However I would never stoop so low ! Now a comedy's main objective is to make you laugh. If a film does that for the majority of it's running time then it's a success. ...  Read the complete review

I was lucky enough to get my six quid back on this film, with UCI's new "double or quits" moneyback promise. Nevertheless, I feel I should forewarn you about this film in case your local cinema doesn't operate such a generous scheme. ----------------- Twin-browed teen-throb Josh Hartnett shows his limitations, ...  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, ...  Read the complete review
