40 Days and 40 Nights

Pros: Shannyn Sossamon calls in a decent performance.
Cons: Josh Harnett, the writing, the dumbing down of females.

Preamble
Oh my! I had such high expectations of this movie. The trailers looked absolutely hilarious. I came SO close to giving this movie 1 star and if epinions allowed it, it would have ended up with a 1.5 star.

What's The...

Pros: Shannyn Sossamon, Josh Hartnett in his scenes with Sossamon
Cons: Too much sex talk, not enough Shannyn Sossamon

If I thought about sex (or the lack of it) as much as the characters in “40 Days And 40 Nights,” not only would I never have written a single Epinion, I probably couldn’t function in any other facet of my life. This film, though, focuses quite a bit on...

Pros: Nice Background
Cons: Not Funny, Stupid Plot

I’m starting to notice a lot more movies filmed in San Francisco lately, it sucks because I used to live in that area and miss it. The most recent movie I saw is 40 Days And 40 Nights and I can’t say much for the movie, but the scenery was nice....

Pros: The laundromat chick
Cons: All the other chicks

When I saw 40 Days and 40 Nights, there were only two people in the theater; myself and an older guy in his fifties at least. I can't even imagine what he was doing there. Maybe he was hoping for something or someone new to think about in the...

Pros: good message, funny, ridiculous
Cons: cheesy, unrealistic, annoying characters

It is an old cinematic convention that women who enjoy sex often end up dead by the end of the film. If a sexy actress put out in whatever we were watching in my history of cinema class, my friends and I would whisper to each other, "Well, she's g ...

Pros: Excellent performances from Costanzo, Trese, and Shannyn Sossaman.
Cons: Silly Script & Josh Harnett's tendency to freak people out.

Since the 1999 release of “American Pie”, the genre of sex-comedies finally returned to the big sc ...

Pros: Hilarious and fun. Cleverly directed and skillfully acted.
Cons: If you don't like the premise, you won't like the movie.

For men... it's just plain hard all the time.

Thinking about sex, dreaming about sex, craving about sex, having sex, thinking about more sex while having sex... it just doesn't end.

Sex makes life just plain hard all the...

Pros: Many funny moments. Lots of sex and nudity. Surprisingly witty.
Cons: Perhaps the wittiness is unintentional because this movie fails to come together in the end.

Men: Can you imagine going without sex for forty days and forty nights? I wish I could scream a loud “No!” for an answer. But can you imagine going without sex or masturbation for forty days and forty nights? Hmm, I think...

Pros: I laughed a couple times. If you like Josh Hartnett, he's in it.
Cons: Offensive. Portrays promiscuity and premarital sex as a good thing.

My husband and I used to go to the movies once or twice a week… We knew everything about every movie. With the arrival of children, we haven’t been so movie savvy lately. Sure, we still see the big ones but this past weekend, we found ourselves sans...

Pros: A chuckle here and there. Hartnett's cute facial expressions.
Cons: Everything else, starting with the movie's poster and ending with the credits.

No. No. No. No. No. And just in case you haven’t queued in yet the “word of the day is” NO!!!. No sex, no touching, no self gratification, no fooling around, no phone sex, no story, no plot, no comedy, no need to see this movie. No. No. No. No....

Pros: Intermittently quite funny, occasionally very sexy.
Cons: Ultimately forgettable.

Slight and silly but twice as entertaining as it should be, Michael Lehmann’s 40 Days and 40 Nights is an innocuous little sex comedy that manages to ingratiate itself just enough to allow moviegoers to look past the more pedantic moments and some...

Pros: well, Josh Hartnett isn't ugly
Cons: illogical, stupid, and offensive

Rarely does one find a film that offends them on so many levels. But 40 Days and 40 Nights is that film. For those of you who don’t know, 40 Days and 40 Nights is the latest offering from Miramax featuring boy-of-the-moment, Josh...

Pros: Pretty leading lady
Cons: Everything - and I mean EVERYTHING - else

It's hard to know where to begin. My Dearly Beloved husband suggested we see this movie, based on a couple of positive reviews he'd read. I was surprised, given that it sounded like a formulaic teen sex movie, but what the heck - we were weekending in...

Pros: Cast (Harnett especially). First 20 days.
Cons: Last 20 days ruin everything.

Ah, the Hollywood sex comedy. If it's not directed by Judd Apatow, there's a good chance that it will begin well and then decompose into a sappy, predictable meloromance. Take H itch, for example: it starts out ...

Pros: Gently humorous and occasionally charming story
Cons: Silly/stupid premise; Hartnett struggles in lead task

While I was raised Greek Orthodox, I rarely went to church, and none of my family participated in Lent. So, while I understand the concept, I have no personal experience to share.

Ever since Heathers, I've hoped Michael Lehmann would...
