Judd Apatows The 40 Year Old Virgin is a comedy starring Steve Carrel as Andy Stitzer. For a goofy comedy such as this one, they movie is surprisingly insightful. Andy distracts himself from thinking about being a virgin with obsessions. He is obsessed with action figures, video games, and collectibles. Andy works at an electronic super store, where he is surrounded by employees who are constantly bantering about sex. One day during a poker game, Andy’s co 
workers realize how uncomfortable and naive he is on the topic. Once they found out he was a virgin, they made it their mission to end his 40 year old drought. Although Andy would rather just sit at home with his action figures, his new friends don’t let him. His friends set him up in a singles bar, give him advice, try speed dating, but none of it works. Across the mall is a single, attractive, sales clerk who Andy is too shy and awkward to talk to. He somehow begins talking to her and that’s when the plot beings wrapping up. I think that the best part about this movie is how well Steve Carrel and Katherine Keener (Shop keeper) work together. You can definitely see the chemistry. If there is anything to take away from this movie,its that its better late than never.

The 40 Year Old Virgin Best Moments
Judd Appatow’s The 40 Year Old Virgin, which hit the cinemas in 2005, is about Andy Stitzer, Steve Carrel, as a single guy, in his 40’s, nerdy, geeky, and works at an electronic store. This hilarious film follows Andy as him and his coworkers/friends try and help him get laid. What I find funny about this film is that it is a group of adults acting like a group of kids. Its a satire based on being a virgin in high school or college where one friend hasn’t done it yet so the rest awkwardly and relentlessly try and help them. Whether there methods or strategies are working or not, ones things for sure. Its embarrassing. Here are some of the best scenes from Judd Appatow’s The 40 Year Old Virgin.
Jonah Hill
Jonah Hill was born on December 20th, 1983 in Los Angeles California. Hill started his career with inspirations of being a writer. He wanted to be a writer for The Simpsons or Saturday Night Live. In College, he moved to New York to study drama at The New School where he began writing and performing plays. 
Some of Jonah Hill’s early accomplishments were making his first role in I Heart Huckabees, and making brief appearances in The 40 Year Old Virgin and Knocked Up. In 2007, Jonah earned a staring role in the hit comedy Superbad which won him a teen choice award. In 2011, Jonah co-starred alongside Brad Pitt in the film Moneyball which won him an scar and golden globe nomination. In 2012, Jonah starred 21 Jump street, another comedic classic. And in 2013, Jonah stars alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in The Wolf of Wallstreet, which in my opinion, is one of the best movies of all time. Jonah wins another Oscar Nomination for his performance in The Wolf of Wallstreet.
Funny People Movie Review
Judd Apatow’s, Funny People, released in 2009. Stares Adam Sandler. The movie is about his character George, a superstar stand up comic, who finds he has a short time to live. George although famous and successful, lives an isolated life. He doesn’t really have anyone to go to when he hears of this news. On a trip, George meets a hungry, ambitious young kid named Ira Wright, played by Seth Rogan. George first hires him to write for him and as they become better friends, allows him to work his way up the ranks. George eventually ends up befriending Ira and tells him about his worries. Laura, played by Leslie Mann was the one that got away. George encounters her again in the film only to find she is married to an Australian man. Success shut George and Laura’s relationship down, but George now finds her as a good outlet for him to talk to. Whats nice about this movie, is that Adam Sandler doesn’t play the typical role his fans are used to. He is much more serious and depressed in this movie, so if you’re a fan of Adam Sandler you definitely need to check this one out. If you’re interested in the movie, check out this trailer.
Superbad Movie Review
Judd Apatows, Superbad, released August 17th, 2007, is a movie about 2 best friends Seth (Jonah Hill) and Evan (Michael Cera). Equally unpopular, the 2 teens were inseparable in high school, facing the challenge of going to separate colleges. With only a few weeks left in senior year, they realize they only have a few more weeks to have sex in high school, which to them is a huge deal. Seth and Evan are so desperate, they fall for almost every single girl in the school. Their conversation skills with girls are so bad, that sometimes they will give them the time, even if they are not asked. Awkward. A third main character in the film, Fogell (Christopher Mintz-Plasse), also known as “McLovin” for his attempt at making a fake ID with the name McLovin, is so unpopular, that he makes Seth and Evan look cool. Every weekend the crew hears girls complaining about getting drunk and sleeping with the wrong guy by mistake. The crews modest ambition is, be that mistake. They get invited to a party by one of the popular girls, Jules (Emma Stone) who exclaims that the party isn’t BYOB, but BYOAEE (Bring Your Own And Everybody Elses). This is what sets the crew on the hunt to get alcohol underage. Bringing alcohol to an underage party will instantly make them cooler. To make the long story short, the gang has a crazy night filled with mistakes, laughter, bad decisions, and booze. The hilarious film does a great job as a satire towards the high school days. Writing this review makes me want to re watch the film, as it would take me back to the high school days were alcohol, girls, and parties are all new.
If you haven’t seen the movie and are thinking about checking it out, watch this trailer.
