Comic gold

Rating: 10/10 (3 September 2005)

Steve Carell has all ways been funny,he was great on the Daily Show and let's face it Anchorman belonged to Steve. Steve plays Andy Stitzer an extremely likable character,that's why the film works so well.Yes the comedy is crude but it works and Carell never makes his character dirty for the sake of laughs.Andy is innocent through out the movie,he has a care free life he rides his bike to his job at the local electronic store,and comes home every night to his museum like toy collection.Andy is invited to a poker game with his co-workers,where dirty sex stories are being told.Andy reveals he is a virgin,and his friends begin a crusade to get him laid.His friends aren't so understanding and Andy begins to fear the worst.He meets Trish a women who runs a sell your junk on Ebay store.Andy gets her phone number and time goes by before he can muster the courage to call.The film is very fresh and funny.The best laughs come from Andy's curiosity,the condom scene is laugh out loud funny.The movie works because we were all like Andy at one point or another and Carell makes the material funny,but not disgusting(It is still dirty by no means take children) Steve Carell will have a very successful career in movies and I welcome him.
