40 Year-Old Virgin (2005)

EW's GRADE
A-

Details Release Date: Aug 19, 2005; Rated: R; Length: 113 Minutes; Genre: Comedy; With: Steve Carell and Catherine Keener; Distributor: Universal; More

Steve Carell plays Andy, a dweeb in cheesy polo shirts who has never had sex, in the most surprising way possible: as a credible human being. The 40 Year-Old Virgin is a buoyantly clever and amusing comedy full of fresh gags about porn and speed dating, yet it has the wit to present its title character's dilemma as a projection of all our romantic anxieties.
