A couple of good scenes but that's about it

Rating: 4/10 (5 May 2006)

Every once in awhile a very average movie has a couple of very funny scenes. In "The 40-year Old Virgin", Paul Rudd's character complaining to his boss about the Michael McDonald DVD and the "yah mo be there" comment are hilarious. I also enjoyed the angry exchange between the sales guys in the electronics store. Unfortunately, it goes down hill after these early scenes. The rest is the usual sexual formula that we've seen before. I thought Steve Carell was better in "Anchorman". Seth Rogan is quite good in this, and I've been a Jane Lynch fan for a long time and wish she had more scenes in this. Overall, if you are looking for a childish, somewhat raunchy sexual comedy, it probably will entertain you.
