The 40 Year Old Virgin

MalReynolds · 08-22-2005, 01:47 PM

I just saw it last night and thought it was really really funny, particularly well acted and very sweet. I was just wondering if that was the general consensus around these parts.

I will more than likely be going to see this, it appears to be VERY entertaining. Also, I'm a huge fan of Steve Carell ever since his "News Broadcaster" part in Bruce Almighty. He appears to be very comedic.

This was an extremely funny movie...
I just feel bad because the idiot ID'd me and Nima when we were going in =P

**Tasselfoot** · 08-22-2005, 04:43 PM

Anuj... I'm 21 and went with Whorli and a friend of ours (both are also 21). We all got carded. Then again, he only looked at mine, since you only need 1 person 21+ to see an R rated movie (don't know how it is in Canada).

The movie itself was MUCH better than I expected it to be, and Whorli agrees. Overall, plenty of scenes that were corny enough to be funny. Plot is what is to be expected, but there were some damn funny lines in there. Pity at how bad the previews/commercials make the movie look... they could have done alot better. Hmm... maybe not, since all the funny scenes involve tits, profanity, or mass alcohol.

Regardless, I recommend those over the age of 16 to see it. Under that, you'll laugh... but there will be scenes that you don't get, and you really can't appreciate the movie unless you've been in the position of going to bars and trying to pick up chicks. So, Chardish might want to save his $10 on this one.

I heard that it was really good. So if I get the opportunity to see it, I probably will.

Jordy0823 · 08-29-2005, 09:34 PM

lmfao this movie was hilarious
that guy is my new favorite actor.. i liked him in anchorman also lol

**Tasselfoot** · 08-30-2005, 12:16 AM

Jordy: watch the American version of the TV Show "The Office". Its quite funny, and stars Steve Carrell as well.

what a great movie, it picked every nuance up perfeectly... and the best part was, siegel and ebert gave it 2 thumbs way up and said it was comedic genius.. so there you go

Anticrombie0909 · 08-31-2005, 11:56 PM

Oh god, this movie was so hilarious. Best flick I've seen in months.

**igotrhythm** · 09-2-2005, 02:24 PM

Blahblah, don't you mean Ebert and Roeper? Jesus. >_<

So Tass, what you're saying is if you're a virgin, you won't get some of the jokes? Sucks for me, because I'm already halfway to the title character's position. (I turned 20 a couple of months ago, but that doesn't mean that each and every innuendo goes over my head like they make it look in the trailers.)

**Tasselfoot** · 09-2-2005, 03:04 PM

Rhythm: what I mean is that if you haven't experienced some of the things that Andy (the character) goes through personally, it won't hold as much meaning for you.

I got more out of it, because I've been in his spot a few times... even post virginity. Like bar scenes, awkward moments, crazy chicks, etc.

ThEclipse · 09-2-2005, 03:07 PM

I've seen this 3 times now lol

i never got carded

I don't believe clipse, just because he looks 10.

I should go see this. The hard part will be finding a 17+ person to go with that isn't my parents... hmm

**-Fallen-** · 09-4-2005, 04:59 PM

I went to see it with my girlfriend, I thought it was meh and same goes for her. It got pretty funny at some parts but then just was boring as hell =\

180digi · 09-5-2005, 04:26 PM

I never had a desire to see this movie..the plot seems really stupid. However it was number 1 at the box office for weeks so maybe its just me..but it feels like our culture is in the toilet lol...

And anyway im only 14 so its not like i could get in to see it if i wanted to..

MalReynolds · 09-6-2005, 11:41 AM

Our culture is in the toilet because "The 40-Year Old Virgin" is #1 at the box office? Alright... So, what does it mean when a film like "Man of the House" or "Agent Cody Banks 2" is at the top? A sign of the coming rapture?

It was a good film. It was funny. It had moments. You're 14, you can't see it, so please refrain from judging or saying that our culture is in the crapper because of this film.

**Tasselfoot** · 09-6-2005, 11:46 AM

Besides the fact that at 14 you wouldn't understand half of the nuances in the film.

For the third time... you won't find this flick nearly as funny as it is unless you've tried to pick up chicks, or are a chick that guys have tried to pick up.

180digi · 09-6-2005, 03:36 PM

Ouch Mal that was condescending.(sp?..)

I think i see why Skooter keeps getting into fights with you..
