Funny, charming, and deliver a good message

Rating: 9/10 (22 February 2008)

At first I was a bit unsure whether I should see this film after reading some comments that it contains lots of crude jokes. However,after finish watching, I found that The 40-year-old Virgin is not rude at all, although it's filled with all the sex talks and some graphic nudity. The movie has a point and delivers it well. It doesn't make fun or look down on virgins. It shows us that it's OK for a person to wait and have sex with the one he really loves. Sex comes with love can be a more fulfilling experience. It doesn't judge or preach that this is a way everyone should be, just saying that this lifestyle is possible and we shouldn't make fun of those people who choose this way.
I think Steve Carell did an excellent job. He and Keener have good chemistry. I like the team who play his friends as well.
To summarize, this is one of the best comedies I recommend to both the virgins and the non-virgins. Anyone who wants a good laugh but doesn't want to watch a funny but stupid movie. Trust me, this film has a gut. I really admire the way they take this theme and make it an effective comedy. Oh, and the ending is so refreshing!
