“The 40 Year Old Virgin” Movie

On Thursday, I saw the movie “The 40 Year Old Virgin”, which starred: Steve Carell, Catherine Keener, Paul Rudd, Romany Malco and Seth Rogen.

The storyline involved the following: “It's not like Andy Stitzer (Carrell) hasn't attempted to lose his virginity. It just never worked out so he stopped trying. It hasn't really bothered him, though. He's got a cushy job stamping invoices at an electronics superstore, rides a bike, has a nice apartment with a proud collection of action figures and comic books--and, above all, has an upbeat attitude. You know, a regular guy, except for that one itty-bitty thing. But that's all about to change. Once his co-workers--lovelorn David (Paul Rudd), womanizer Jay (Romany Malco) and horny Cal (Seth Rogan)--get wind of Andy's predicament, they take it upon themselves to get the man laid. But nothing seems to work--until, that is, Andy meets Trish (Catherine Keener), a 40-year-old mother of three, and sparks fly. Although Andy and Trish decide to take things very, very slowly, with a mutual no-sex policy (at least for awhile), the deed may finally be at hand. Or not, depending on whether Andy can get over his hang-up with women.”

I give the movie a “B”, and the movie is worth the price of an admission ticket, a large popcorn and a small soft drink. It was a funny movie, but Steve Carell’s chest was too hairy.
