Hilarious raunchy comedy! You pull for the loner underdog just because he wants to score with a female!

Rating: 9/10 (18 August 2007)

I must say that Judd Apatow done a brilliant and beautiful job with this raunchy and foul comedy. It's something that seems down to earth and very funny that most can relate to that's relationships of finding the right one and sex. Only this comedy is a tale of a man that's a 40 year old virgin! You must say how sad and awful, but it's happened I'm sure. You have Steve Carell as Andy Stitzer a nice and shy loner type who can be described as a hard working electronics sales clerk, yet he's a nerd who loves his action figure collection(which his life is built around)and he spends most of his time playing video games and reading comics. Then one night over a game of poker with friends it's revealed he's a virgin! It's so apparent when he compares a females breast to feeling like a bag of sand now how funny! Andy must then go thru torture and shame from friends and co-workers, they try everything to get him to score by taking him to bars to try and pick up sluts and drunks to dating games to just about everything. Then finally he meets a hot and attractive grandmother(played by Catherine Keener) and it first seems so odd, but slowly and surely a relationship develops finally it turns to a pleasure and satisfying end! Really the gags and crudeness of talk don't take away from the film it's entertaining and funny very memorable scenes are the chest waxing, and the scene of Andy's struggles with how to put on a condom! You as the viewer also feel compassion and happiness for a lonely character of Andy's to finally score but more importantly find life long love. Really a great comedy with plenty of laughs even though raunchy the compassion and emotions overrides and produces a memorable comedy. Great acting from Steve Carell and well done and written by Judd Apatow.
