Sex is easy, comedy is hard. A sex comedy that's not just a raunchy, moronic romp seems downright impossible.
That's what makes "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" such a great ride. The title harkens to those single-minded slapstick-fests of the early 1980s, like "Porky's," "Spring Break" and "Private Resort" (the last of which is notable only for the presence of a young Johnny Depp).

 Director: Judd Apatow Cast: Steve Carell, Catherine Keener, Seth Rogen Paul Rudd Rating: R for pervasive sexual content, language and some drug use Running time: 116 minutes |
