    I lhave enjoyed what I have seen of Steve Carell's work and would probably try this if it wasn't rated R. Too bad.

    Hoewel de film wel heel erg draait om de onnozele smoel van Steve Carell zitten er toch hier en daar wel wat leuke grappen in.

    This movie is okay for watching only one time.The musical number at the end made this movie worse than it was.

    Already garnering much acclaim from "The Office," this breakout role for Steve Carell is just top notch. Apatow sure knows his comedies.

    Great and hilarious movie to watch!!! A must see. If you don't like this movie,then you have no sense of humor, simple as that.

    Andy Stitzer (Steve Carell) portrayed as a guy with no intentions with being with a woman,and thinks its too late for him to try. Andy is shy,nice,polite, he lives alone,rides a bike to work and is nervous around woman. He goes with opsticles to find the woman he wants,with the help of his friends and coworkers.

    Rogen,Keener,Rudd,and Carell do a fantatsic job,of portraying there characters..You should see this,if ur a comedy fan,Carell fan or Apatow fan.

    Outrageous, over-the-top, and profane are probably the top wrds that ccould be used to describe this film on a surface level. These are all things that this movie undoubted;y is. However, the film is all very sweet, heartfelt, sentimental, relatable, and above all: absolutely hilarious no matter what. The performances all around are very good, the direction is nice, and the fact that this movie has heart and substance is why it has gotten so much praise, in spite of the 'dirty' content (especially in the unrated cut). Much like the first American Pie film, the sweet and sentimental stuff is nicely balanced with the raunchy stuff, and that, in the end, is the strongest element that holds everything together and makes it a really good film.

    For the most part, Virgin is not my type of comedy. It had good moments, but too often fell on the silly side. The three screwed-up frat boy friends in particular were over the top. When the sweetly nieve Andy was doing his own thing, then I enjoyed it. Carell doesn't need sidekicks or raunchy gags to be funny. And he managed to humanize such a stereotypical character that you truly felt for his plight. There is a good message here and thankfully writer/director Apatow doesn't completely bury it. When Andy tells his girlfriend that he's been waiting all this time for the right woman, you believe he's sincere. :)

    Judd Apatow's first time in the directors seat. Now anything with his name even near it makes hundreds of millions. I think usually his movies are pretty suprising, I think it's mostly due to the horrible titles they have. Makes you have really low expectations so it's easier to like.

    A soon as this film starts, you know it's going to be absolutely hilarious. I'd say the chest waxing is the best part.

    i liked it up till the ending scenes, mostly cause i didn't get the song reference and it was a little too cheesy but it was pretty good overall.

    This really pales in comparison to the newer Rogen/Apatow/Rudd flicks. It really comes off as a run-of-the-mill comedy based on one tiresome joke, especially as you get further into the movie. There were a few laughs, just not nearly enough.

    Steve Carell is always great, but you definitely need to be in the mindset of the movies to really enjoy it. The ending was great, but getting there made me nervous.

    Not a favorite. I don't mind a bit of foul language but not to the point of that and nothing else. Turned the movie off after 10 minutes. NOT FUNNY ANYMORE

    Crass. BUT it does have a good ending. The good guy does the right thing and gets the girl. Without the language a good movie.

    Awesome movie. For me and my friends/ family, what makes a good comedy is to have enough funny scenes in it to talk about later and stuff to repeat to each other until it becomes annoying! This movie had plenty of both. Comedies do not have to be thought provoking or deep... just funny! If you don't like this movie, then it means it probably wasn't catering to your type of sense of humor

    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.
