 | Funny. Original. Who would have thought of this? The director of Ancohrman is back with the story of a 40-year-old virgin. Just from the title, you already know the ending. But that does not mean that this movie wasn't good. It was actually and surprisingly realistic and extremely funny. Well, I recommend it to al Ancohrman fans. |

| Very funny and God I dont know what else to say but really really really funny. A different kind of sex comedy. Catherine Keener, Elizabeth Banks, Leslie Mann, Kat Dennings, Marika Dominczyk, Mo Collins, Gillian Vigman, Kimberly Page, and Nancy Walls are hot. |

| I have actually seen this movie three times this week and am going to see it again this weekend. Now, I'm not a huge fan of sex comedies, but this one had something that most don't...HEART!!! Steve Carell, while uproariously funny, also plays the character of Andy with such sweetness and warmth, that adds such charm to this movie. I literally left the theater in tears because I was laughing so hard. Everytime I've seen it, it has had such a great reaction from the audience. It's clever, raunchy, and wonderfully romantic. I am sure that this will only be the begining for Carell, who as I heard him say in an interview is truely "a thinking man's comic." |

| Andy Sitzer (Carell) is a geeky inventory stocker at an electronics store. He is shy and avoids women. He is a closet virgin, but when he describes a woman's breasts as feeling like "bags of sand", his co-workers David (Rudd), Jay (Malco), and Cal (Rogen) figure out Andy's problem. They take it upon themselves to hokk Andy up.
There are two candidates: Trish (Keener) and Beth (Banks). Andy likes Trish, but is nervous every time he is around her. Beth is a freaky gal who is definately not a virgin. And then there are all the girls that Andy comes in contact with as he speed dates, hits the bars, and does other things set up by his friends.
"Virgin" is a hilarious movie. It is easily the funniest movie of the year. It is also unabashedly R-rated, which is a relief in these days of taming a movie to get a PG-13 rating. Carell is perfect as Andy, bringing dorkiness and likeability to him. We feel his pain even as we are laughing at his misadventures. Keener is great as Andy's love interest. The two have chemestry, and you want to see them together. Rudd, Malco, and Rogan provide countless laughs as three buddies who just want to get their friend laid. Judd Apatow keeps things moving quickly as director and co-writer. He knows what is funny without being cruel, having created the excellent television shows "Freaks and Geeks" and "Undeclared".
The bottom line is that this movie will make you laugh out loud. It is funny, sweet, and an unexpected treasure. I cannot recommend this movie highly enough. |

| This movie was a bit of a disappointment for me overall, especially considering the great premise- this is no Wedding Crashers.
The comedy was strong in some places and weak in others, the cast is not the most beautiful one (no offence), and what you see on screen seems to be quite low budget. Some of the sex jokes were a little obvious, and there were a few race jokes which were actually funny and good natured.
I did have my favorite moments but I'm afraid that's all they were, and they unfortunately don't make this a great movie- a barely good movie perhaps, but not a great movie. Shame really. I'd probably buy the DVD for the kinda hot looking daughter but that's it. |
