Funniest movie to come along in a very long time

Rating: 10/10 (20 August 2005)

First of all I went into this movie hearing all of the comparisons between this movie and Wedding Crashers. The "general consensus" was that The 40 Year-Old Virgin was far funnier than Wedding Crashers and let me start off by saying that this movie blows away Wedding Crashers and quite frankly a list of other comedy movies I have seen recently. In my opinion, this film may be one of the best comedies ever created.
The opening scene of The 40 Year-Old Virgin is one that had the whole theater cracking up. This trend of uncontrollable laughter continued throughout the entire movie and there was rarely a period of time without an explosion of laughter in the theater.
I feel that Steve Carell was perfectly cast for the lead and I can't really think of another actor who could have pulled it off. In addition, the supporting roles played by Paul Rudd, Romany Malco, and Seth Rogen really brought the movie together and provided plenty of laughs.
The 40 Year-Old Virgin is no doubt a laugh-out-loud movie that may give you the urge to see it again right after you leave the theater the first time. Although this film may seem to be directed at a younger crowd I was very surprised to see a good amount of older people in the theater, and they were nearly falling out of their seats like everybody else in the theater. I recommend this movie to nearly anyone who enjoys a good comedy and isn't afraid of explicit sexual themes. Two very big thumbs up!
