The 40 Year-Old Virgin
It may be lowbrow gutter humor but...at least it's extremely well-done lowbrow
gutter humor. What makes this movie so great, among other things, is a great,
very funny script and Steve Carrell's performance as the title character. He
doesn't overdo it and comes across both as believable and likeable. It also
features Catherine Keener, one of my favorite actresses, as Carrell's love
interest. Not only does she also give us laughs but it is crazy to see how
brightly she fuels the story. This movie gives hope to obsessive toy collectors
and video game players everywhere (no...that wouldn't be me.) So, please, set the
Masterpiece Theater DVD's aside for a night and give yourself a naughty treat.
You won't be sorry.
