Overview

Andy Stitzer has a pleasant life with a nice apartment and a job stamping invoices at an electronics store. But at age 40, there's one thing Andy hasn't done, and it's really bothering his sex-obsessed male co-workers: Andy is still a virgin. Determined to help Andy get laid, the guys make it their mission to de-virginize him. But it all seems hopeless until Andy meets small business owner Trish, a single mom.

If it were 20 minutes shorter, it would be that much closer to perfect.

Apatow genuinely loves his hero, and the film's innate sweetness carries it through the rough patches of a funny comedy with a central relationship that isn't particularly funny.

Count me among the naysayers.

It's truly dirty and truly romantic at the same time, a combination that's very hard to pull off.

It's worth making a date with The 40-Year-Old Virgin. You won't go home disappointed.
