Critics Consensus

Steve Carell's first star turn scores big with a tender treatment of its titular underdog, using raunchy but realistically funny comedy to connect with adult audiences.

If it were 20 minutes shorter, it would be that much closer to perfect.

The script is little more than an excuse for letting a bouncy team of sketch comics have their heads. Unlike most films pasted together in this way, it displays a certain cohesion.

Both comedically and emotionally, The 40-Year-Old Virgin -- if you’ll pardon the expression -- goes all the way.

Movies Thru the Spectrum

Pairing one of the funniest men on TV in Steve Carell and one of TV’s best producers in Judd Apatow, ‘‘The 40-Year-Old Virgin” seemed like a can’t-miss proposition. Miss, though, it does – by a country mile.

Steve Carell's Andy is awkward yet heartfelt, surrounded by hilarious improv and a cast that makes The 40-Year-Old Virgin a comedy classic.
