Funny and unexpectedly sweet

Rating: 10/10 (28 August 2005)

I think what I had to love about this movie is that, when we went to see it, it was because we have a very close friend that this movie could have easily been written about. We snickered as we bought tickets expecting to find ourselves saying, "It's ...!. We didn't. While parts of this movie most definitely captured our friend, it also captured ourselves. I think parts of it will capture everyone. While the title of the movie suggests that it's going to be about deflowering a 40 year old virgin, it makes us question our own insecurities about sex and love (mostly love) and there are some really, really sweet scenes. Andy's friends from SmartTech are more experienced sexually, but none really have a clue as to how to have a relationship with a woman. They mean well - they want Andy to experience this part of his life he's been avoiding until age 40, but as his teachers they do some hysterical things to (for?) him that keep you laughing. This one's a keeper.
