Search - The 40-Year-Old Virgin (Unrated Widescreen Edition) on DVD

This is a shabby movie that cashes in on shyness. The attempts to release this man from his virginity and get it on are sad. Having sex is great, but it's not everything in life. Nor is losing your virginity. Trashy jokes about sex. I wouldn't want my children to feel like any of the "supporting cast" in this film. The ending is great, however; the hero finds real love on his own. There's a difference between sex and love: but they should go together. Sex without love is just lust. Sorry to preach, but I'm not usually offended by movies. This one's a bottom feeder.

79 minutes DVD 1 - African Screams: In this 1949 comedy classic, Bud Abbott and Lou Costello travel to the Dark Continent in search of treasure and find more than they bargained for. Directed by Charles Barton one year after he helmed the great "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein" "African Screams" costars a couple of Three Stooges favorites, Shemp Howard and Joe Besser.

82 minutes DVD 2 - Jack and the Beanstalk - This 1952 color classic might also have been called "Abbott and Costello Meet Mother Goose." In this comic retelling of the famous fairy tale, Lou trades the family cow for some of Bud's magic beans and winds up encountering a talking harp, a goose that lays golden eggs, and the fearsome giant who lives in the castle atop the fabled beanstalk.

114 minutes DVD 3 - Colgate Comedy Hour: In this complete 1952 episode of the classic comedy/variety series, Bud and Lou engage in some of their patented antics at the expense of Washington politicos. Also on board are Victor Borge with his delightful blend of music and comedy, and Allan Jones ("A Night at the Opera") singing his signature song, "Donkey Serenade."

79 minutes DVD 4 - "HEY, ABBOTT": Host Milton Berle is joined by Steve Allen, Joe Besser and Phil Silvers in this 1978 salute to Abbott and Costello. This tribute features some of Bud and Lou’s funniest routines, a few of which were used by the comedy duo back during their starting out days in Burlesque and Vaudeville. Included are "The Shell Game," "Susquehanna Hat Company" and the classic "Who’s on First?"

45 minutes DVD 5 - A Tale of Two Kitties / Mail Call - Strictly G.I. / Abbott & Costello at the Movies: A compilation of Bud and Lou rareties. "A Tale of Two Kitties" is a 1942 cartoon featuring "Babbitt & Catstello" (get it?) and marks the first-ever appearance of Tweety bird (named "Orson" here). Also included is "Mail Call - Strictly G.I.," a wartime performance of their legendary "Who's On First?" routine, and as a bonus, "Abbott & Costello at the Movies," a collection of original theatrical trailers from many of Abbott and Costello's funniest films.

I ordered this as a gift to my daughter. She said it was OK...lol.. not quite sure what that means, but I know I didn't care for it. Not that it might not be a good movie, it just isn't something I enjoyed watching. It might have been because it was the "uncut" version.

I recieved this movie about a week ago and watched it for the first time last night. I wasn't disappointed. Steve Carell plays the lead character, as Andy, and, just as you would expect from the title, he is a man who has reached his 40th birthday without having sex. He works at an electronics store with some other guys, including Seth Rogen from "Knocked Up," and when they find out about his inexperience they decide to help Andy. He proceeds with their suggestions to try and lose his virginity but nothing seems to help until he meets Catherine Keener.

Catherine is the proprieter of the "we sell your stuff on ebay" store across from Andy's work and when Andy meets her, he is instantly in love. Without giving too much away, I'll stop right here. This movie was well worth requesting and both my Wife and I enjoyed it very much. I think my favorite scene was where Andy meets Beth, the crazy blonde from a nearby bookstore.

In closing, I say get this movie; you won't be sorry.
