The 40 Year Old Virgin (USA) (Universal Pictures) (2005) ***Year: 2005iMDB

Director: Judd Apatow Cast: Steve Carell, Catherine Keener

If you read the title of the movie, you obviously know the entire plot and story of The 40 Year Old Virgin. Andy (Carell) has good help from his "savvy" co-workers and goes after the big prize.

While a lot of the jokes are extremely predictable, most of the humor of the movie comes from the quite plausible premise but mostly from the supporting characters of Andy's co-workers which made me think a lot about Office Space. This summer, I personally enjoyed more the Wedding Crashers whose more ridiculous premise ends up being fresher. However, The 40 Year Old Virgin is holding its own.
