Featured review
40 Year-Old Virgin, The (2005)
*** 1/2 (out of 4)
A geeky guy (Steve Carell) is still a virgin so his buddies try to get him laid. I went into this film expecting a one joke movie but was pleasantly shocked to see how much of a heart this thing had. The raunchy humor hit the spot but I never thought the film was cruel or mean, which would have really ruined this thing. The laughs are non-stop but the film has an incredibly big heart and best of all a rather touching ending. With this and Wedding Crashers there appears to be life for the comedy genre.
