I always thought of The 40 Year Old Virgin as just one of those really daft comedies that aren't particularly worth watching, so I was quite surprised at how much I enjoyed this film.
I decided to watch it after seeing Knocked Up (which I love) and finding out they were both written and directed by Judd Apatow.
The plot is fairly obvious. Steve Carell plays Andy, who is.. yep, you've guessed it.. a 40 year old virgin. The film follows Andy as he tries to lose his virginity and falls for a single mother.
I found it hilarious. In almost every scene there is something to laugh or giggle at. Steve Carell is just brilliant.. he brings a real awkwardness to the character of Andy, yet he's very endearing. Look out for the excellent scene where Andy gets his chest waxed.. Carell chose to actually get his own chest waxed so that the reactions were genuine. Just super. :)
What I like most about this film, is that it isn't just sex gag after sex gag and it's actually a really nice story. Touching in parts and the ending is just brilliant.
Definitely worth seeing if you enjoy pissing yourself laughing. :P
10/10
