very funny showcase of Carrell and company

Rating: 8/10 (12 August 2005)

I saw the premiere of the 40 Year Old Virgin last night and forgot to watch who was laughing after the first ten minutes. I'm not normally a viewer of R comedies, but I had given Wedding Crashers a chance and I wanted to compare. I must say there was no comparison! This movie had more bad language, nudity, sexual situations, and everything else that made it funny. The audience caught on to the feelings of confusion, hope, and nostalgia for everyone's first time and also had developing relationships with friends, co-workers, family, and neighbors.
There were many great laughs, lots of opportunity to skewer the singles' scene and modern relationships, but there was also a story of people seeking love. I recommend it to anyone who won't be offended by the R content and who'd like to laugh.
