Pros: Carell, Keener, many funny moments
Cons: Not deep or profound on the subject
Summary: What's it like to be a 40 year old virgin? You could ask me, or you could watch the comedy "The 40 Year Old Virgin" starring Steve Carell. If you ask me, you might not be as amused. Carell stars as Andy, a stock room clerk at an electronics store. At ... read more

Pros: Some good performances, fun soundtrack
Cons: Lame jokes, poor character development, poor subplots development
Summary: "Andy" (Steve Carell) is pretty nerdy. He drives a bicycle to work every day, he watches "Survivor" with his neighbors every week and has a very impressive classic toy collection that fills every room of his apartment. While at an after-work poker ... read more

Pros: Numerous laughs, solid performances. A movie you will definitely revisit time and time again.
Cons: The sexual, crude, profane humor may install some frowns
Summary: Andy Stitzer (Steve Carell) rides his bike to work…a bicycle. He collects comic books and action figures. Spends his weekends playing video games and making elaborate food platters. Andy also has a secret: "I'm a virgin. I always have been." Andy is ... read more

Pros: Some Very Funny Moments
Cons: A Lot of Not-Very-Funny Moments
Summary: Having heard from people whose opinions I respect that this movie was hilarious, my stepbrother and I rented it one night, in need of a laugh. Maybe it was too late and he was too tired, but my stepbrother, who is (in my opinion) easily amused by ... read more

Pros: Humorous; Interesting concept; Good cast
Cons: No depth; Profanity and sex scenes could turn some viewers off
Summary: I like a good comedy movie and I appreciate an occasional comedy that is a little off the wall and unlike other films in its genre. One movie that certainly fits this description is The 40 Year Old Virgin, a comedy about an awkward middle- aged ... read more

Pros: interaction among the four guys
Cons: Trish fell flat for me, extremely raunchy
Summary: It seems 2005 was a big year for raunchy movies. While I wouldn’t touch Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo with a 40-foot pole, I did wind up seeing two movies last year that were considerably more low-brow than what I would normally attempt. I ... read more

Pros: lots of jokes, humor based on honesty, good observations
Cons: predictable, raunchy, not for everyone
Summary: We'd like to think that everyone has a story to tell. The nice thing about comedy, as a genre, is that it believes this. Not everybody is a good subject for a drama. Not every life is the stuff of a horror flick. Not every soul belongs in an action ... read more

Pros: Couple of decent gags? OK concept. Carell, in moments.
Cons: Misogynistic, not terribly imaginative or original
Summary: Most readers who follow my reviews know my tastes are generally wide, but that I become most effusive with praise for films that are artistic, imaginative, offbeat, and original. That doesn’t mean I am immune to the American mainstream ... read more

Pros: Steve Carrell, good dumb dance number at the end.
Cons: Had to be vulgar to live up to the title ???
Summary: I expected something funny, clever and non-subtle but still managing to catch you off guard like Something About Mary - and I am a HUGE fan of Steve Carrell - but this movie was really bad. Every single possible cliche: 1) Black people yelling and ... read more

Pros: I didn't pay to see it
Cons: I had to sit through it and still hear corny jokes from it.
Summary: This movie was lacking in more ways than one. My boyfriend got to choose the movie for the week and I got suckered into seeing this one. I'm glad for one that I did not pay for the feature. The characters were barbaric, the jokes were corny, juvinile, ... read more

Pros: Funny, good acting, fast paced
Cons: Not hilarious, bad plot, predictable, some jokes fail
Summary: My review of the 40 Year Old Virgin is actually for 3.5 stars, although I rounded it down to 3 stars because I don’t think it deserves 4. The 40 Year Old Virgin never looked amazing too me, although it looked somewhat funny. The commercials ... read more

Pros: Steve Carell - he will make you laugh
Cons: Lengthy for what it is
Summary: I am a comedy enthusiast and from the moment I saw the previews to "The 40 year-old Virgin," I knew I had to place it on my list to see. As its tile suggests, this movie is about a man named Andy who is now 40, works as a stock-boy at an electronic ... read more

Pros: Carell, supporting cast, great comic timing, funny
Cons: Ending, and the length of the movie
Summary: This movie had me laughing from jump. Doesn't everyone know someone like Andy??? Steve Carell is becoming the definition of funny with the characters he plays. And Carell is surely making his way to getting his own set of movies with characters written ... read more

Pros: *Steve Carell
*Laugh Out Loud Funny!
Cons: A few slow spots...but not many.
Summary: The last time my husband and I went to the movies we saw a preview for 40 Year Old Virgin. While it wasn’t high on my list of must see movies, I thought it looked as if it may be humorous. Today Michael said he wanted to see March ... read more

Pros: Really funny subject matter, a great story
Cons: Very crude
Summary: The title of The 40 Year-Old Virgin pretty much explains it all. This movie stars Steve Carell as the title character in this sex comedy that doubles as a love story. It is very much rated R and you should not take the kids to see it. It is as ... read more
