40 Year Old Virgin: Year-Old Virgin
built 233 days ago
In The 40 Year-Old Virgin, budding comedian Steve Carell plays a geeky middle-aged virgin. This is not a stretch for Carell, because in his acting career, he really is a virgin. Until his breakthrough role in this film, Carell long roamed the desolate comedic sidelines behind bigger names like Will Ferrell, Jim Carrey, and Jon Stewart. And yet, despite being relegated to small supporting roles, Carell has consistently and feverously out-shined and out-muscled his senior counterparts. Now, with Virgin, Carell proves that he's got the stamina to go the distance in his first leading role.

The 40 Year-Old Virgin opens with an erection, specifically a morning glory tentpoling the boxer shorts of Andy Stitzer (Carell) as he stumbles out of bed and into the toilet. Stitzer's home is a shrine to prolonged adolescence, with boxes of pristine action figures and a mountain of video games. His ablutions performed, Stitzer cycles into work at an electronics store. Okay, he's a nerd, a Dungeons And Dragons figurine-painting geek. But he is otherwise fit and presentable and his equipment is clearly in working order. So why does Stitzer, like his flat, lack a woman's touch?

Steve Carell (The 40-Year-Old Virgin, The Office), reprising his role as the polished, preening newscaster Evan Baxter of Bruce Almighty, is the next one anointed by God to accomplish a holy mission in the hilarious new comedy Evan Almighty. Blockbuster comedy director Tom Shadyac returns behind the camera for this next episode of divine intervention. This time... his cast grows two-by-two.

The theatrical version of "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" was rated R by the MPAA for pervasive sexual content, language and some drug use. But on DVD there's an extended version containing 16 or 17 minutes of footage not present in the theatrical version. Apparently the primary reason the additional footage was not included in the theatrical version was that the film runs rather long for a comedy. The extended version has not gone through the MPAA rating process, and some people might find the racial humor, partial nudity and ribald dialogue in some of the extra footage offensive.

In a year of sleepers, The 40-Year-Old Virgin was this summer's biggest, establishing Steve Carell as a top comedian. Although his NBC sit-com, The Office, isn't a mega-hit, it's doing well enough to be greenlit for a full second season. His stint on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart wasn't a fluke, after all.
