in the preview and the 40 year old virgin boast the image of another immature sex romp about a 40 ish lonely guy who suddenly feel the urge to do the deed simply because he hasn not . too many past bad experience have dampen his enthusiasm to the point that he avoid woman completely . and then the unexpected happens represent he fall in love . what more and there a movie out about it and and it call the 40 year old virgin . the virgin of the title be andy stitzer ( steve carell ) and who be indeed 40 and work a an employee at an electronics store and collect vintage action figure and which be display all throughout his nice bachelor pad for all to see . he have a lovely home theater system and watch survivor with his two kind elderly neighbor . he a pretty picturesque definition of the lonely guy who need to go out more and talk to more woman . now here the real novelty with this picture represent it do the impossible task of actually deal with it subject matter in a cute and mature fashion . this be a movie that could very easily have turn out a lot differently in the hand of a more transparent team of filmmaker . it could have descend into endless sex gag and joke but thankfully this picture never stoop that low . sure there be sex joke here and there and even a few prod be aim at the gay community ( which be and in no way and meant to be take a gay bashing ) and a two of the character exchange insults towards each other while play a video game ( mortal kombat represent deception and no less the ultimate testosterone drive fightfest for guy ) . a someone who be rapidly approach 20 and collect mcfarlane toys action figure and have himself never do the deed and i find this film amusing and touching in a way that a similar themed movie could never have be . i be able to relate to the character of andy stitzer more than anyone in the theater because i be the only teenager present at this show while everyone else look like they be all past 40. a bit arrogant and i know and but would you ( you be italicize ) still be able to relate if you be the only teen present at an afternoon screening of the 40 year old virgin . of course andy have never have sex and wake up everyday with morning rise ( do not ask ) and and he pressure by his buddy to try outlandish method of gain the attention of the opposite sex . when it first discover andy be a virgin and at 40 and his three buddy and fellow electronics store coworkers david ( paul rudd ) and jay ( romany malco ) and cal ( seth rogen ) all at first assume he gay because he never be with a woman and which couldn not be any further from the truth . the truth be and andy love woman and but past traumatic experience ( reveal hilariously one after the other in a flashback sequence ) have put him on the sideline for good . david and jay and and cal each embark on a mission to get andy laid and so help them all . but you know that such escapade will only end in disaster and a prove by one date with nicky ( leslie mann ) and who put andy through the bad drunk drive experience i think anyone would not want to go through and he have a rather creepy encounter with beth ( elizabeth bank ) and the pretty girl who work in the bookstore and be eventually reveal to be a total sex fiend . thing brighten up for andy when he meet trish ( catherine keener ) and the friendly woman who work at a store across the street that sell stuff on ebay for people . hmmm . and with that nice look collection of action figure and you can go figure that in the end a large financial payoff await him and that be if he can ever do the deed . at last and this be the sex romp we have be wait for . it deal with a very real issue a lot of lonely guy probably go through and not that anything be wrong with be a virgin but let look at the big picture represent how many of u lonely guy want to be a lonely guy forever . the important thing be teach in this picture be that lonely guy must be himself . i do not think he need to go through body wax like andy do ( which be side split to be honest and and accord to this website and various other news article and be in fact real and and so be the blood on carell shirt afterward ) . the 40 year old virgin be direct by judd apatow and co write by himself and carell and which originate a a skit that star carell . carell be sweet and human and a his character be not some layabout who approach this thing with his eye shut . this be probably one of the most intelligent romp i have ever see and be not offensive ( a whole lot ) because it character be treat with dignity and respect . even carell buddy and who pass off bad advice to cover up their own relationship insecurity and can be relate to on a fundamental level . the way the 40 year old virgin play out be indeed funny in the end and but i will leave that up to you and the viewer and to observe . surely and if anyone can go through the thing andy do and still have the strength to attract a woman as sexy a catherine keener and then it true represent it be never too late . positive .
