Cult classic comedy, but not over the top hilarious

Rating: 7/10 (9 October 2015)

The 40-Year Old Virgin was cutting edge back in the day. At the time of its first release, I don't remember seeing any other movies exploring sex jokes and awkward virgins the way this movie does. The great thing is that this movie could've gone in a really bad direction, and not have had any depth to it, but while being funny and goofy, Andy and Trish's love story and the lessons he learns from his first real relationship are life lessons that can apply to anybody going through a relationship, whether they are virgins or not.
The first half of the film might be uncomfortable for feminists. At first, there are a lot of misogynistic jokes and Andy's "friends" seem really shallow. But over time, the course of their friendship develops and you see that even these guys have some depth to them.
I really enjoyed this. It didn't have me reeling from laughter, but it made for a nice, light romantic comedy in its own sense.
