40-Year Old Virgin

Rating: 10/10 (12 October 2006)

Steve Carrell is becoming a big thing in Hollywood ,after his ingenious performance in Anchorman, and it's easy to see why in this film about one man who has never had intercourse in the whole 40 years of his life. When his friends from work find out about his little secret they make it their mission to lead him through his first time, but it's harder then they think when it becomes apparent that Andy (played to new comedy heights by Steve Carell) has a hell of a lot to learn. And so the adventure begins as each guy tries to help Andy with their own tips and ways when all Andy really wants is to have a non-sexual relationship with his new love Trish (Catherine Keener). Filled full of hilarious lines and scenes, 40-year Old Virgin is one of the funniest films in the past few years. And if you're still not convinced then take note that it actually contains the line: "Aye-aye, Captain Yellow-shirt," - BRILLIANT
