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.
he never hade sex and he was 40 year old and one of his firends thought it would be good if he got a wax. and another friend brought him his old movies.
It was an alright movie.. There were some funny bits here and there. I was glad I didn't see it at the movies,.. thinking along the lines of anchorman. :)
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
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
Wow, this movie was hilarious, and very interesting, I never knew a guy like that actually existed, I mean I thought they all would have tried harder in like high school. no offense
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.
Not as funny as I thought it would be, but sure it had a few laughable moments. Steve Carrell and Paul Rudd were the best actors here and had the best parts, of course. Not a movie that I'd recommend, but it's still okey.
Seth Rogen is a genius and with Steve Carell as a comedy vehicle in this film, ESPECIALLY with Rudd as a support, gives the audience and the fimmaker a chance to have the tiem of their lives...Fo SHO.
Synopsis: X2 does a fine job of picking up where X-Men left off, giving fans more of what they liked the first time around.
