YesAsia Editorial Description
Andy Stitzer (Steve Carell) rides his bike to his stockperson job at Smart Tech, has a nice apartment filled with collectable toys (in their original packages), and plays videogames every night before bed. He's also a 40-year-old virgin. During a poker game with his coworkers David (Paul Rudd), Jay (Romany Malco), and Cal (Seth Rogen), talk turns to sex and it becomes very clear that Andy doesn't know what he's talking about. His friends become intent on remedying his situation, and their advice leads to newfound confidence for naïve Andy. But when he develops true feelings for single mother Trish (Catherine Keener), Andy finds that all the sex advice in the world won't help him navigate the choppy waters of an adult relationship.
In Andy, Carrell has found a perfect comic creation who is hilarious, lovable, and rooted in reality. Rudd, Malco, and Rogen are also perfectly cast as Andy's cheerleaders. The script, by Carrell and first-time director Judd Apatow (producer of TV's FREAKS AND GEEKS), is consistently funny, and--despite its relentless crudity--treats its nerdy protagonist with the utmost respect. This rare quality and its high laugh-to-joke ratio make VIRGIN one of the most enjoyable comedies of the decade.
"Carell plays him in the funniest and most surprising way possible: as a credible human being....Buoyantly clever and amusing..."
- Owen, Gleiberman (Entertainment Weekly Critic), Entertainment Weekly, 08/26/2005
"A howlingly comic revel in bad taste....[Carell] is flat-out hilarious....[It] keeps firing off rude, raucous laughs."
- Peter, Travers (Rolling Stone Critic), Rolling Stone, 08/25/2005
"Carell is now a major comedic force. With this awkward middle-aged character, which he expanded from a Second City comedy troupe sketch, he has landed on the ideal role to showcase his talents." - Claudia, Puig (USA TODAY CRITIC), USA Today, 08/19/2005
"[T]he movie is often funny. Carell delivers some great ad-libbing....[A] messy, mischievous cult comedy in the making."
- Anna, Smith (Sight and Sound Critic), Sight and Sound, 10/01/2005
"[B]ehind every cheap joke in the film, there's as much heart as there is smut..."
- Ryan, Devlin (Premiere Critic), Premiere, 02/01/2006
Ranked #19 in Rolling Stone's "Top 25 DVDs Of 2005' -- "Proof positive that Carell and director Judd Apatow are top writers."
- Peter, Travers (Rolling Stone Critic), Rolling Stone, 12/01/2005

raunchy, but hilarious
|
If I thought it was hilarious, why do I not give it higher marks? Well, because on some level, something recoils in me at the thought of something this raunchy. Actually, Steve Carell really makes this movie. He's completely believable as the poor chap who's 40 years old and still lives with a bunch of toy models. There's something endearing about him as he tries to impress his friends, who are mostly fun in their own way as well. I didn't always find them humorous, though (like the old Indian guy who just swore all the time... is swearing all the time suddenly the most hilarious thing in the world or something? I don't get it), which is another reason the rating's not higher for me. Not to mention the sort of... lack of chemistry between Carell and his leading lady. I realize this is a comedy, not a romantic comedy, but I'd still have liked there to be some sort of build-up there. Their relationship was more of a detail than the main storyline, which I assume is the way the writers wanted it... after all, the focus is on Carell, not on Carell's first love affair. Still, I think some time/screen time could have been spared for SOME development. Well, if you're a guy, you'll love this movie. It really is very funny... and all the guys I watched it with loved it. As a girl, I recoil a little bit at some of the humor and the naked girls, but it's still pretty funny. It's worth buying. |
