The 40 Year-Old Virgin (2005 Judd Apatow & scr)

Loosely constructed film by Apatow and Carrell looks improvised in many places especially in foolishly extended version (2 hours 7) which feels like if you cut it down to 85 minutes might be a decent film - there is a bit of story there when you wade through leagues of offensive, crude humour that makes you astonished at the behaviour of some people. This isn't a sign of age - I wouldn't have thought highly of it as a young man either.

Steve Carrell, Catherine Keener, Paul Rudd, Romany Malco, Seth Rogan, Elizabeth Banks, Leslie Mann, Jane Lynch, Gerry Bednob, Jonah Hill. Shot by Jack Green.
