The 40 Year-Old Virgin

The 40 Year-Old Virgin******----(6 out of 10)

I wasn’t too impressed with this movie, especially after heearing all the hype from almost everyone I talked to saying it’s the most hilarious thing they’ve ever seen. It was funny in parts, very un-funny in other parts, and was an overall mediocre show. It was entertaining, I’ll give it that. But it definitely wasn’t worth seeing again, I won’t give it that.

Some highlights included a hilarious chest-waxing scene, various guys going crazy because of women, and a few bicycle accidents that it seemed only Shannon and I thought were hilarious.

Lowlights included way, way too much derogatory conversation about women and gay men, and just an overall sense of trying to hard to cross the line. I think the whole “That’s funny because they went to far with it” is dead now, and thus I didn’t laugh too much throughout this movie at what I supposed to laugh at. The coughing, wheezing guy in back of us sure did though, and he drew a few looks from me just to make sure he was going to make it until the end.

One thing did disturb me more than anything else in this movie: The list of hobbies I have in common with the 40 Year-Old Virgin:

  • Toys (I likes me a cool toy)
  • Comic books
  • Band instrument (he played baritone, I play trombone)
  • Video Games
  • Singing and Dancing

Luckily he wasn’t shown designing any websites or reading any computer books. Throw in some Pistons basketball, volleyball and a Jeep instead of a bicycle and you’ve got Brad right up there on the screen. Ok, not so much, but it was pretty embarassing there for a minute.

    Hope you don’t mind me saying it, but you don’t have the whole virginity thing in common either. Otherwise… pretty damn close! And I love ya for it.
