You are capable of change.that's why you are here, right? You're still a virgin.so what. It's never too late for anything to happen as long as you are above ground and breathing, and porn is not the only thing you can have. Most men these days are very conformist and do almost anything to fit in by mainstream society's standards so going your own way, keeping the calm and not letting anyone's labeling get you because of it is a sign of strength, not weakness. That's why most people feel quite comfortable around me and appreciate my company since I have the integrity, stand by my beliefs (even when not popular) and don't pretend to be someone I am not. Those facts alone do indeed make me more of a man than most men since I stand my ground and don't deviate from my beliefs, values, opinions and perceptions.Īlso, I am quite uncomfortable sleeping with women I don't know or have any connection to (the thought disgust me) so I wouldn't gain anything by sleeping around.Ĭontrary to what you might believe, people do in fact not value you because of your previous bedroom experiences but more on your character, actions and contributions to the community and this world. Sure, it's hard not to acknowledge the films raunchy humor, but the romance is just as good.Click to expand.As the other members above have already pointed out, that "virgin"-label it is all in your own head and mind!!Īlthough I have very little experience myself (at age 31), I don't let that fact impede me, my person, character, manliness, etc. And surprisingly, every joke hit just as hard as it did when I first saw the film years ago. From beginning to end, this was comedy gold. From the body waxing, to the poker table, the condom scene, the shenanigans from Elizabeth Banks, Leslie Mann drunk driving, or the speed dating scene. There are so many infamously memorable scenes. And yes, Apatow had done a bit of television work prior to this, but it's his first directorial effort for a feature film. All of them create such memorable characters and scenes with the help of Apatow and Carell's hilarious dialogue. That's not even mentioning Keener, Jane Lynch, Leslie Mann, Elizabeth Banks, and a young Kat Dennings and Jonah Hill. You have Carell just beginning to hit his prime, Paul Rudd, Seth Rogen, and Romany Malco all rounding out the work group of friends pushing him to lose his virginity. This film also features what is perhaps the greatest comedy ensemble of this generation. That relationship only works if you understand the world he's living in outside of his romance with her, and the stakes that the film sets up. Especially because that side of things makes you appreciate the really sweet romance between Carell and Catherine Keener. This is one of the dirtiest and raunchiest films that I've seen, but I can't picture it working any other way. While most Carell roles are filled with goofy and over-the-top humor, and most Apatow films are overlong and too raunchy, this film hits on all those cylinders in a good way. In my opinion, this is Steve Carell and Judd Apatow at their best. Most jokes rely on pop culture references, but The 40-Year-Old Virgin manages to do the impossible, make a timeless comedy. Comedy is probably the one genre that is most difficult to hold up over time.
