This film, is a great comedy, about a 40 year old virgin. We follow the life Andy, after his colleagues discover that he is still a virgin and we follow how this effects him for the next few months until he eventually gets some!

The title of this film explains it all. Andy Stitzer is a forty years old virgin. He is in hurry to pop the cherry either. Andy is happy playing model figures and watching Survivor with elderly neighbours. Andy meets single mum Trish, she is celibate by choice. Nerdy Andy forgets all the bad experiences of trying to lose it that creates much of the plot in the movie. He goes for Trish 100%. It is only matter of time before they do it. The person holding the controls is the director. The wait for the couple to get on with it is longish but for Andy it is on, off, wait, go for it. Well anyway you know Andy and Trish will get it on and they will live happy ever ...  Read the complete review

One film that found its way onto my PVR over the Christmas period was "40 year old virgin". If I'm honest I'm not sure why. I'd heard good things about it from a friend's daughter (but she was 15) but I'm not a great fan of American comedies in, what I thought would be, a similar style ("American Pie" and the like).

When his colleagues at work find out, they decide to make him their project. They become determined to help Andy lose his virginity and nothing spurs them on more ...  Read the complete review

THIS REVIEW IS FILM ONLY This film was very rare in that it made me laugh even in the trailer, which hardly ever happens. As soon as I saw the adverts, I immediately thought it looked like my sort of film and headed out to watch it. I am of course talking about The 40-year old Virgin, the first leading movie role for the amazingly funny Steve Carrell. After appearing in the not-very-good Office: an American Workplace and the frankly terrible Bewitched, and featuring in Anchorman and Bruce Almighty a few years ago, this brilliant comic talent finally gets his own film. He also helped produce it and co-wrote the screenplay, which shows he has more ...  Read the complete review
