Review of The 40 Year Old Virgin (2005) by Andrej P — 27 Dec 2018

A romantic drama about a man's unusual relationship with sex disguised as a raunchy comedy. What makes it particularly amazing is how nuanced of a take it is on the complex relation our society and many individuals have with often understimated subject, all done with the wit of Judd Apatow and the star making roles of now legendary comedy actors. It's great understanding and empathy for people both who are conservative and liberal when it comes to sex sadly makes it unavoidable to be misunderstood by a margin of people on either side. It's also really goofy, how it should be. The most profound thoughts about relationships usually come from those still optimistic and not tainted by negative persona expirience, when the opposite happens we get Freudian bullshit.

Not for everyone, but damn well made.
