Year Old Virgin: Year-Old Virgin
built 628 days ago
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.

Overflowing with bodily fluid jokes and four-letter words used in all possible declensions and conjugations, The Forty Year-Old Virgin is shamelessly pitched at the audience that fell so heavily for There's Something About Mary. Its writer-director, Judd Apatow, produced the Will Ferrell pictures Anchorman and Kicking and Screaming, but perhaps that shouldn't be held against him. After all, Ferrell isn't in this. If he were, Andy's emotional age would probably correspond to that of a hyperactive preschooler.

Surprisingly, The 40-Year-Old Virgin makes for great date viewing. It has a certain raucous quality that will appeal to any guy's inner thirteen-year-old, but alternates its toilet humor with real emotion, thanks to a sweet relationship that develops well. It may be responsible for creating an entirely new genre—the romantic gross-out comedy.

Gleefully schizophrenic, the new independent comedy The 40 Year-Old Virgin wants to have it both ways. It wants to wallow in bodily fluid jokes and make fun of a grown man's unwanted abstinence; then it concludes with the message that the best sex is with someone you love, preferably after marriage. Oh, and along the way, the movie ... manages to be quite funny. Maybe not funny enough to justify its almost two-hour running time, but funny nevertheless. Read the full review

On the heels of 2005's blockbuster The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Judd Apatow again mines hilarity from the relatably human in a comedy about a one-night stand with unexpected consequences: Knocked Up. Katherine Heigl (Grey's Anatomy) joins Virgin alums Seth Rogen, Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann for a comic look about the best thing that will ever ruin your best-laid plans: parenthood.

While men in the movies rarely converse the way they do in real life, "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" is the exception. Early in the film, when Andy's co- workers find out he's a virgin, they don't ostracize him. They make him a mixed tape of porn and pledge to get him laid -- just as your co-workers would in the same situation.
