I just wish they would do a movie that's reminiscent of my high school years, where the dorky guy DOESN'T get the good looking girl. Oh wait, they did make that movie -- Sixteen Candles, Breakfast Club, Weird Science, etc. Guess my wish won't fly:-)NoVA Dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16661990626635939447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9684236.post-79819067201360397362007-06-08T17:36:00.000-04:002007-06-08T17:36:00.000-04:00I linked back to your review this morning at my pl...I linked back to your review this morning at my place Julie.

We actually own "40 Year Old" virgin since my dh picked it up at a used dvd sale at the local store but I still haven't watched it.

I've been drawn into its orbit because I heard the dialogue writing is not just good, it's "instant classic." And it's supposed to be incredibly funny, entertaining and all that. I've also read some critiques along the lines that you mention here - particularly that it's heavily tilted toward the guy's perspective and utterly implausible. The vulgarity and raunchy sex/drug jokes are practically to be expected for this genre, these times and in order to register with the target audience of 20-somethings. I'm not surprised that it offended your "mom" sensibilities. <BR/><BR/>I know of several young women who became pregnant outside of marriage, through sometimes casual, sometimes more serious, relationships with guys that they knew in their hearts were not really the men they could either spend their lives or raise their children with. A very tough dilemma, but real, and for the most part, I think they made the right decisions. I think the film could have scored a bit higher on the relevance/substance meter though it may not have been as uproariously funny to many film-goers if they had made Ms. Heigl's part more grounded in the kind of decisions that a woman of her potential would really make in such circumstances.<BR/><BR/>I went to a movie the other day and thought about going to this one. But something averted me away and I went to see "Hot Fuzz" instead. It was funny, entertaining and worth my time and money. For what that's worth to ya!David Blakesleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12167200509158903679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9684236.post-68144752698748840562007-06-07T19:23:00.000-04:002007-06-07T19:23:00.000-04:00I still haven't see the "40 Year Old Virgin".
