The ending ruined the film.

Rating: 1/10 (22 December 2005)

No, I'm not going to tell you the ending. Although I will say that the ending really killed the essence of what was a pretty good film right up to the part where Andy is about to join Beth in the bathtub. Everything that happens after the Beth bath part pretty much destroys all that you've seen happen in this film. Allow me to back-track.
Meet Andy, the 40 year old virgin; you cannot, not help but feel sorry for the poor fellow who's never had sex in his life - ever. And then meet Andy's social circle - his four male friends and the women Andy tries to woo and who try to woo him.
Clearly the scriptwriters do a fantastic job of letting us know who to like and who not to like; every character seems well defined up to that one place mentioned above, and then all hell breaks loose.
We like Andy's four friends who want his friend to have sex with any female that breathes. We don't like the drunk blonde Andy rides home with who vomits in his mouth and on his face. Nor do we like the transvestite, the older horny lady who manages the store and wants to badly screw Andy on the side, or Trish (his girlfriend).
There's this one girl, Beth, who we really like. We like her because she's young and downright sexy. In her world, Andy's not a loser, but one hell of a stud.
The scriptwriters lay out three instances that show us the mean and psychotic side of Trish which convinced me that she was not right for Andy: a) the whole telemarketer phone-call scene (she's brutal!), b) the scene in which Andy grows some testicles and rightfully confronts Trish about how she's trying to change him into something that he doesn't want to become and c) she's a freaking grandma, for crying out loud - three children and one who has a child.
When Andy and she fight, her lame response is something to the extent of, "I'm trying to help you grow up." Ha! Typical woman, trying to change a man. Sheesh. Isn't it enough that she was already withholding sex from him for 20 dates? And now she's trying to manipulate him into becoming something she wants? Ugh!
Emotionally, I was standing behind Andy when he told her off, got smashed and found his way into the Beth's bathroom. I was rooting for him to get laid by the sexy Beth who worships him. Why? Because being a 40 year old virgin entitles him to get laid by a single, young babe who's desirous of him. Not some 55 year old grandma who's given birth to three children, had sex too many times and doesn't want to have sex.
Now that you understand where I'm coming from, you'll see that after Andy's friends burst in during the bathtub scene, everything you learned about the characters changes a complete 360 degrees! Well, all of Andy's friends now "wisen up", tell Andy that he needs to stick with the woman he loves (who saw this one coming??), and stop him from joining Beth in the bathtub (WTF???).
Not only that, but then Andy loses his balls and tells the guys that, "I don't know who I've become." Of course he leaves Beth and then the film goes downhill from there. If you do see it, I hope you realize that the ending is so very gay.
I almost forgot, the nudity (brief, though shown in multiple scenes) is tasteless and out of place. For these reasons, I give the film 1 (awful) out of 10 stars.
