Film Review - 40 Year Old Virgin

Post by Fez »

as the more astute among you have probably already guessed from the title, there are lots of jokes about sex and relationships in this, but it isn't a film trying to be anything more than it is - a wonderfully lowbrow comedy that'll have you sniggering like a schoolboy for days afterward.

it is subtler than you might initially give it credit for, and there is a nice romantic link throughout that only gets predicable right at the end - but is then saved by a fanatastic musical closing number. the jokes are imaginative enough to sound fresh even though most will have appeared somewhere else before, and it rarely gets too crude to make you feel more like groaning than laughing.

the love conquers all, every loser gets a girl in the end finish just about works for me because...well, i related so much to the main character i had to like the ending purely for my own sanity!

deffinately worth watching

I went to see this film the other day with no expectations and thought it was really, really funny. You gotta love the eBay shop! :lol:

I would rate this film.
