Review: The 40-Year Old Virgin
As the title suggest, this could be an outrageously funny movie, with lotsa opportunity for racy jokes and the likes. That, however, is not the case. It’s a very soft comedy with nothing really inventive going around. While Steve Carell is very fit for the starring role, the movie itself feels a bit flaccid. It’s not all that bad, but the 110+ minute running time is definitely too long. A 90 or even a 75 minute cut would’ve worked better.6½.
