Reaction from a real forty four year old male virgin

Rating: 10/10 (10 January 2007)

As a real 44 year old male virgin, I have to say I loved the film. I was wary of it, as people who know my story http://www.arthurchappell.clara.net/the.last.taboo.htm were going to give me a great deal of stick over it. Apparently, some male virgins in the US were going to sue over it. I saw no reason for such a stance. The film's central character is treated quite realistically and sympathetically. (Spoiler warnings though I expect most have seen the film by now) That he finally found love, and the song of joy (Aquarius) that follows is a delight, though reminiscent of the singing at the close of There's Something About Mary. It is the eccentricity of the more sexually experienced friends around him that make the virgin seem so credible - I love the sequence of his friends saving him from the clutches of a man-eating temptress, only to see one of them jump into the bath with her as the others rescue him for the woman he really loves. Funny, perceptive and intelligent film making.
