One For Judd Apatow Fans

Rating: 7/10 (17 September 2013)

"The 40-Year-Old Virgin" focuses on the character of Andy Stitzer (Steve Carrell), a middle-aged introvert who never had experienced the world of sex. He works at an electronics shop with co-workers David (Paul Rudd), Jay (Romany Malco) and Cal (Seth Rogen) and their boss Paula (Jane Lynch). Across the street from heir workplace is a store called "We Sell Your Stuff on Ebay" where the proprietor is a middle-aged woman named Trish (Catherine Keener) who has three children and is also a grandmother who currently is not dating anyone at the moment. Trish becomes attracted to Andy, but suddenly his colleagues soon discover that he is a virgin and this is where all the verbal hassling comes into play. Due to the constant hassling has delayed Andy from ever getting any sexual feelings from Trish.
I'm sure we have all seen 40 year olds who just happen to be virgins. Yet the leading gender demographics are predominately female. Due to the gender bent more sexual lust, it's very rare to find a male who's a 40 year old virgin. And yet more women seem to get support from others for their celibate lifestyle than men (particularly from men who have been smitten by these women for decades). As a man of 37 years old, I have not experienced what it'd like to be sexual active. If I had a child, I would recommend he or she to lose it sooner than later because I believe one's sexual experience could lead them to a path of glory.
Even though I can relate to the leading character here, I don't have complete praise because I didn't find anything that was out of anything unacceptable, at the same there was also stuff that wasn't very memorable too. The only good advice that I found helpful was as soon as you tie the knot, you must sell your entire comic book collection. The other is once you find yourself in romantic fling with a girl, it's time to throw way all the porn videos.
Even though the movie has all the essential elements of a sex comedy, however, there's only really one sex scene. The fowl language is put into good effect here and the sexual references are handled in a mature perspective. I say I recommend this movie if your okay with the language and the sexual references.
