buzz film: the 40 year old virgin

trust me, you will think i'm cute by the end of this film

with the wedding crashers easily taking the reins as the 1st all and all funny movie of the year, it will feel like an early xmas when just a mere 3 weeks later, the romantic comedy the 40 year old virgin will make its' ways onto our screens.

directed by the wonderfully talented judd apatow (freaks and geeks), the hilarious premise focuses around dorky electronic store employee andy stizer (played by the funny, yet weirdly sexy, steve carrell of the daily show & the office US), who is unfortunately a virgin at the ripe old age of 40.

with the help of his band of merry/twisted co workers (paul rudd, seth rogan & romany malco), the group tries to help the virgin with his predicament with one insane situation after another. of course, everything gets even crazier when andy meets trish (catherine keener) and realises that she may just be the one.

though raunchy humor is rampant throughout the film, the film has a surprising amount of humanity in which you openly want andy to get over his hump with a... ahem... hump.

easily the frontrunner for the funniest movie of the year.
