The Funniest Movie I've ever seen

Rating: 10/10 (21 September 2005)

For many years The film American Pie was my favorite comedy of all time. then a few weeks ago I saw Wedding Crashers, and American Pie was having some serious competition. then just two weeks later both American Pie and Wedding Crashers was dethroned by the new reigning champ The 40 Year Old Virgin. Holy crap is this movie funny as hell. in the first two minutes I was laughing my ass off. I was skeptical on this movie at first because everyone I knew that saw this movie was telling me how funny it was and how much I'd love it. I was weary because everyone told me the same thing about Napolean Dynamite and Anchorman: The Legend Of Ron Burgandy. words can not describe how much I hated those movies. So I figured what the hell I'll give The 40 Year Old Virgin a shot. I'm glad I did. The story is simple, Andy (Steve Carell, who also wrote the movie) works at a store called Smart Tech (It's supposed to be Circuit City/Besy Buy) with David (Paul Rudd) Jay (Romany Malco) and Cal (Seth Rogen) who he becomes friends with. Then they find out the shocking news that Andy is a virgin at 40 years old. Now David, Jay, and Cal have one goal in life, get Andy Laid. Andy is more content with sitting at home playing his video games, reading his comic books (this angle aggravates me because it make people like me look like jackasses) and collecting his action figures. Even Andy's elderly neighbors who he watches Survivor with every Thursday knows Andy needs to get some. Andy doesn't even have a car, he rides a bike to and from work. After failed attempt after attempt from his friends Andy meets Trish (Katherine Keener) and realizes that she could be the one. The problem is Andy doesn't want to tell her he's a virgin because he's very embarrassed about it. The 40 Year Old Virgin is rated R for a reason. Like Wedding Crashers there are a ton of swears and I haven't seen more jokes about sexual content since Porky's. This movie is HYSTERICAL! I was laughing pretty much from the minute it started to the minute it ended. It's not for everybody though. The movie relies heavily on jokes about sexual content and sexual references, plus some people might be turned off by the swearing. especially in the scene where Andy's friends decide he needs a good waxing because he's to damn hairy. Personally I thought this was the film's second funniest scene. If stuff like this offends you then wait for rental because you won't spend as much as going to the theater and you can turn it off any time you want. If this stuff doesn't offend you then by all means see this movie. This movie is in my top 5 films of the year list at number 2. Batman Begins comes in at number 1. On a scale of 10 I give The 40 Year Old Virgin a 10. As I said before it's the funniest movie I've ever seen. Long live the king.
