Summary: Eight minutes
Comment: The title alone convinced me to never watch this movie, but then a buddy loaned it to me.
The premise does work. You see how this guy lives, and he's credible as a character and as a virgin. I love his bicycle, and I haven't driven anything with a motor since moving to Asia in December 1999, so I notice such things.
However, the humor just wasn't funny. Very lame, pre-teen, predictable. He's surrounded by stereotypes, and really isn't he one too? I found it impossible to care, so I watched something else.
But hey, two stars. That is one more than I expected to give. Way to go movie!
Customer Rating: Summary: An Affirmation for Every Lonely Guy Who Never "Got There"
Comment: This movie is an excellent commentary about contemporary beliefs about sex and relationships, and aging nerdy guys who never had girlfriends, who are too depressed to bother to change things, who tacitly accept that they will never meet that special someone.
Andy (Steve Carell) is a stock supervisor at an electronics store, and his best friends are three salesmen at the store, who frequently regale each other with tales of adventures with the opposite sex. At a poker game, Andy is challenged to tell a story of his own. Awkwardly he reveals that he has no sex stories, because he is a virgin-- at 40. Shocked and yet empathetic, his buddies all try to get him to get friendlier with women with the intent of becoming physically intimate-- his buddies are all horndogs (including recent comic star Seth Rogen), and a series of comic misadventures takes place, involving everything from drunken clubgoers to a speed-dating service to transvestites to... well, it may not be polite to print.
Along the way, Andy meets a friendly single mother, and after much self-protest, Andy brings himself to talk to her and go on a series of dates-- she really likes Andy-- but his own fear of sex leads him to arbitrarily induce a 20-date minimum before they go any further than kissing-- which leads to some unforeseen complications.
Despite the casual profanity and the juvenilia that permeates the entire film, there is an endearing message about "waiting" and the myriad frustrations of 'nice guys' that manages to come across. The very end of the moving is shocking and surreal, but in a good way.
Bonus features include various scenes not already re-cut into the extended edition as well as other outtakes, and cast/filmmaker commentary.
Customer Rating: Summary: Virgin, not stupid
Comment: OK, I love Steve Carell, he's a great actor, he's been compared to
Jim Carrey or Will Ferrell but he's completely diff'rent. He can actually pull out a great dramatic performance, even as a comedy actor (like in this once). Also you have the gorgeous Paul Rudd and Seth Rogen as annoying as**oles. HAHAHAHAHAHA
Also check out Carell on Dan in Real Life, a good romantic comedy with the great Juliette Binoche.
