Much like "The Wedding Crashers," Steve Carell's new movie "The 40 Year-Old Virgin" uses its raunchy R-rated surface to mask a gooey marshmallow heart. And what good goo it is. For all its often hilarious misogynistic posturing and idiotic, Spike TV-style homophobia, this sweet romantic comedy could pass for a certified chick flick. That's the key to its appeal: something for everyone. Read the full review
40-year-old Andy Stitzer has never had sex. His friends consider it their duty to change that, but nothing proves effective until he meets Trish, a 40-year-old mother of three.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: B
"... isn't as much about getting Andy in bed with someone as it is about getting him to shake off an old self he settled for too soon. It's the de-nerding of a nice guy."
Austin American-Statesman: 3 of 5 stars
"Carell ... plays his amicable super-goober Andy Stitzer with a nice-guy earnestness that gives the sometimes raunchy comedy a believable sincerity."
The Palm Beach Post: B
"Carell looks to have a promising film career, even if only playing variations on this inept, but appealing dweeb."
