40-year-old Andy Stitzer (Steve Carell) has done quite a few things in his life. He's got a cushy job stamping invoices at an electronics superstore, a nice apartment with a proud collection of action figures and comic books, good friends, a nice attitude. But there's just one little thing he hasn't quite gotten around to doing yet--something most people have done by his age. Andy's never, ever, ever had sex. His friends at the store consider it their duty to help, but nothing proves effective enough until he meets Trish (Catherine Keener), a 40-year-old mother of three. Andy's friends are psyched by the possibility that "it" may finally happen...until they hear that Andy and Trish have begun their relationship based on a mutual no-sex policy.

The movie could have been a crass, potty humored waste of time, instead the movie was a hilarious outlook at life and love. I think one of the things that helps the movie is that it does have some humanity, while the movie is about a 40-year old who has never had sex finally trying to get some it is also a look at relationships and love in general. Had the movie not been this multi faceted look at life, love and sex it would have probably fallen flat on its face. The movie is crass at times but in a good humored way. Its like laughing at oneself in a ridiculous situation and that is why the movie is so funny. The movie can laugh at itself and so it makes it easy to laugh right along with them. Some of the situations are also so far fetched that is easy to dissect yourself from the situations that would be harmful in real life but are hilarious in the movie. The movie is downright gut busting funny all the while with a little heart mixed in.

While Steve Carell does a very good job and brings many laughs to the movie it is the supporting cast as much as him that makes the movie what it is. The movie would have been nothing without , Paul Rudd, Romany Malco, and Seth Rogen who are like the movies version of the three stooges bumbling their way to laughs and into beds of women. They each have a different spin on s ex and what Andy’s problem has been with the opposite sex. But in the end the movie is about Steve Carell and whether he can deliver the laughs which he manages to do so frequently. Sometimes in the beginning of the movie Steve Carell was a little awkward but once you accept him as the bumbling geek it is easy to see him as Andy and laugh right alongside him and his bumbling trio of stooges. The movie is fun, it is silly, it is funny and it was highly entertaining.
