The 40-Year-Old Virgin
"The 40-Year-Old Virgin" blends sincere passion with wild and provocative humor, cementing writer-director Judd Apatow's approach as the canonical one of 2000s film comedy. Andy, a painfully shy middle-aged man who has never felt the touch of a woman, is played by Steve Carell.
When his macho coworkers discover the truth, they go on an '80s sex comedy-style mission to make things right for Andy, offering him all kinds of harsh and sexist advice that puts him in a number of terrible and excruciatingly humorous situations. Meanwhile, he may take care of things himself, while he pursues a genuine and delicate romance with a single mother.
