Sex really does sell!

Rating: 10/10 (10 June 2006)

One of the most innovative comedies that I've seen in years, "The 40 Year Old Virgin" rips up everything. Portraying quadragenarian Andy Stitzer (Steve Carell) trying to have sex for the first time, it really gives you an "oh no...oh yes" feeling watching the movie. I had some favorite scenes, but I probably can't repeat them here.
One thing that was really interesting about the movie is that I think that Andy is supposed to have Asperger's Syndrome (which would impair his ability to start up relationships with women). But believe you me, they did a really funny job showing that! Anyway, it's a great movie. There isn't a dull moment anywhere in it. Also starring Catherine Keener, who shows herself to definitely be one of the best actresses of our time (especially considering that last year, she also starred in "Capote").
You gotta admit, the recent slew of comedies (this one plus any movie starring Jim Carrey, Jack Black, Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Vince Vaughn and/or Will Ferrell) is really something else!
