Judd Apatow’s first film still remains as his best. This sweet but vulgar formula has been imitated numerous times in a decades-plus since its release. The 40 Year Old Virgin is a surprisingly insightful. It has great heart, as well as a lovable hero in Steve Carell. Andy (Carell) is indeed 40 and a virgin. He resorts to surrounding himself with video games and action figures. The script is filled with small but perfect one-liners. Carell’s charming naivety — paired with the improvisational crudeness of Paul Rudd, Seth Rogen, and Catherine Keener — make this a perfect comedic balance.
