Re: 40 Year Old Virgin

I just rebted it.. is it not worth watching?

please tell me now before I waste 2 hours of my life

I think it's great. My advice is do you think you would like it? Not just by what other people has said. A ton of us on here loved it, but about 3 have posted they haven't. It's all about different tastes. So the question is does this movie fit your type of humor?

Re: 40 Year Old Virgin

Good place for me to make the exact opposite post from most of what's in here...

I still stand by my take that "Virgin" was one of the best comedies of the last 15 years. I think a lot of younger people miss some of the jokes (remember he is 40 and most of the people he hangs with are late 20's and 30's).

ANYWAY.....

I finally saw "Wedding Crashers" on Saturday....

HIGHLY...HIGHLY dissappointing.... not even in the same league as "Virgin". Besides the 20 minute montage of all the weddings at the beginning, it was a NOT funny... and kind of a sappy chick flick. Every single scene after the original montage was a rehashed retread from 20 movies made before. I still laughed enough to make it a passable experience. But, it was nowhere near the hype. Vince Vaughn (who I have loved in the past) is becoming a characterature of himself. And Will Ferrel's cameo was flat out NOT funny (besides the fact that who didn't know that Ferrel was going to be Chaz from the first mention????).

Good concept... The wedding montage was great.... but overall sub-par movie.

Re: 40 Year Old Virgin

I agree, I only watched 30 minutes or so until I turned it off. I thought it wasn't funny and was just stupid.

30 minutes in means you made it to at least the poker game.... how did you not find even just that scene funny????

Re: 40 Year Old Virgin

My girlfriend and I rented it this weekend. We turned it off in about 20 minutes. Well, I turned it off. She absolutely hated it and that was about 5 minutes into it. She told me I didn't have to but I could tell she was not into it at all.

I will probably watch the rest of it at home by myself some time this week but
I do have to agree with her to a point. The cursing in this movie is just excessive to the point of being stupid. To me even though the part I saw was not bad all the language was just getting distracting.

Do people really talk like that at work and even around there friends outside of work ? Or is it just me?

I realize some of it is for the sake of making people laugh but it just seemd overdone.

I think it's because everyone said the movie was so funny, my wife and I watched it and were just bored to death of it. It was after the poker game, I think they had went out already, because I saw the next day at work where everyone made fun of the guy. I knew I had about 2 hours left of movie, and knew I would fall asleep if I tried to continue to watch it.

I may watch it again, but for being a 2 1/2 hour movie, I just don't know if I can get into it at all.

That was my wife's opinion too and it distracted me. It was like a bunch of guys just learned to swear and wanted to use it over and over again. Just felt very childish which also hurt the mood. My wife was like yours, 5 mins in she was done.

Yeah I think if you miss those jokes. You don't get the full effect of the movie.

I will give an inch on this because the DVD release with the UNRATED and 17 extra minutes did have a tremendous amount of extra and increased nudity. In fact, in the theatrical release, the only nudity was the nip slip during the speed dating. The extra 17 minutes were really sort of unnecessary and it definately did take the language through the roof....


HOWEVA.....


That's also how people talk...


I don't talk that way at my job, but that's not to say that I haven't worked at a few places and/or known people who have talked like that at work. And that's also part of the gag.

Exactly... the cheesy little things add up to the total picture. The framed Asia poster on his wall.... then when he gets in the bike chase scene at the end they start playing "Heat of the Moment".... cracked me up. How many people under 25 even know Asia? The act like David Caruso in "Jade" comment. How many people even saw that movie? Or got the whole Joe Eszterhas type dialogue and delivery part of that scene? Cracks me up just thinking about it.
