One of my favorite comedies. So many jokes. Every time I watch it I laugh harder and harder

I loved this movie! I expected it to be crass and filled with gutter humour. In fact it deals with the subject of sex with sensitivity - as well as a lot of humour. I smiled from start to finish - especially loved the ending. Carrell is brilliant, as are all the supporting actors. It's a symphony of humour.

I have been hearing of this movie for many years, but have never gotten around to watching it. Finally, one decade after its release, I have sat down and watched it. Heading in, I didn't expect anything more than a typical comedy that didn't have much to show for besides being funny. To my surprise, I found myself tearing up at the end. Whether this is because I seem to be more emotional during movies, or just because that's how it's supposed to be, the film sends a strong message. That message? Love wins. I don't normally feel the need to give comedies high praise, but I feel this film deserves it. Not only is it funny, but it teaches an important lesson in life. To my delight, Seth Rogen stars in the film and plays one of the many funny characters. I had only expected to see Steve Carell as the one actor I would recognize, but I recognized quite a few. The chemistry between the core group of characters works and flows naturally. It is quite the experience seeing how things unfold for the 40 year old virgin and I promise it will entertain.

In 'A forty year old virgin', the subject of sex was handled with pure "American Style" sensibilities. Most of the sex talks bordered on silliness as in an oversexed nation like USA, according to a rough estimate there is a 'one in a million chance' of finding somebody who is a virgin at the ripe age of 40. Director Judd Appatow and screen writer Steve Carrell have made a vain attempt to add drama to their film with the depiction of a futile battle of opinions and an idle clash of ideologies. For this purpose they chose to highlight the plight of a happy-go-lucky person who has absolutely no qualms being a virgin and those who are not happy at this strange person's outlandish ideas. As the film keeps the viewers dangling, it is felt that 2 hours is too long a time to deal with such an ordinary theme. Many viewers would not hesitate to express that it could have been easily handled in the standard Hollywood cinema duration of 90 minutes. As love does have an important place in all kinds of relationships even sex, this film ends on a positive note with the triumph of love over sex. This can be termed as this film's major achievement.
