Review

Master nerd and SmartTech employee Andy Stitzer (Steve Carell) is 40 years old and has never "done it." He constantly suppresses his loneliness with action figures, games and random hobbies, thinking he's got it made. But when his friendly, sex-craving coworkers find out his little secret, he goes on a trip he won't soon forget. With such wonderful actors and actresses as Catherine Keener (Trish), Paul Rudd (David), Romany Melco (Jay) and Seth Rogen (Cal), the crazy cast really makes it all come alive. "40 Year Old Virgin" is a wonderfully funny yet touchingly sensitive film that explores Andy's adventures of meeting a girl, making new friends and understanding what love (and life) is really about. Great for a night of constant laughs that will make your tummy hurt, enjoy watching it with some friends (but you'll probably want to consider a babysitter). Director and writer Judd Apatow and co-writer Steve Carell took a simple issue and turned it into a hilarious and touching story that will please all who watch it.


Hancock is a super hero; no, Hancock is a hero; no, what is Hancock? Everyone knows that "with great power comes great responsibility" everyone but Hancock. Sarcastic and arrogant, Hancock has good intentions to help people which might get the job done and save some lives, but he always seems to mess things up rather than really fix anything. The public has finally had enough. As grateful as they are to have their local hero, the citizens of Los Angeles wonder what they ever did to deserve this guy. Hancock isn’t the kind of man who cares what other people think, until the day that he saves the life of PR executive Ray Embrey and the stuck up superhero begins to realize that he may have a vulnerable side after all. Facing this will be Hancock’s greatest challenge yet – and a task that may prove impossible as Ray’s wife, Mary, insists that he’s a lost cause, just like the movie itself.
