The 40 Year Old Virgin by Judd Apatow (2005, USA)



I love Steve Carell as much as the next goon, but I bought a little too much into the hype surrounding this film. It just didn't seem that inventive or original to me, which is fine since I wasn't really expecting much more than a "laugh-out-loud" sex romp, but it seems they wanted to go a little more than low-brow here, which ruined it for me. The cast was good but the jokes just doesn't seem to be that funny. I'm willing to give this film another chance though, since I found out that the waxing scene is actually real and the blood on Carell's shirt afterwards is actually his. Ouch.

3/5 stars
