The 40 Year Old Virgin (DVD)

The 40 Year Old Virgin (2005) starring Steve Carell, Catherine Keener, Paul Rudd, Romany Malco, Seth Rogen, Elizabeth Banks. Some reviewers really liked this movie, but I'm not one of them. It falls into the "OK" category with me -- passable but not transcendent. The basic structure of the movie is good and works rather well, but it is overlong and has a few too many tiresome, tasteless jokes thrown in to fill out the running time. Catherine Keener is a delight as the main love interest of the title character, and the last 10 minutes of the film are enjoyable. It's just a long journey to get there. Grade: B-
