Hit and Miss

Rating: 7/10 (13 June 2007)

Considering that I have watched 40 Year Old Virgin 20+ times, I had great expectations for this movie. Well, I was a bit disappointed. Don't get me wrong, it was funny. The story line was good...and is definitely relevant to a lot of people. The humor was hit or miss, but the good one-liners and expressions were well above average. The problem...language. A good f-bomb or two can be dropped into a dialogue and prove to be funny. However, the excessive language was over the top and took away from the story line. I wasn't impressed, and I think it just proves that some producers and directors don't have the ability to deliver a movie that's gut-wrenching funny from beginning to end. I would have been just fine if the language was replaced with some more dramatic dialogue to make it a bit more chick-flickish. I'm not a chick flick kinda guy, but I'll take it if it will add to the story.
