-Steve
Carell
Andy
Stitzer
(Steve
Carell)
rides
his
bike
to
his
stockperson
job
at
Smart
Tech,
has
a
nice
apartment
filled
with
collectable
toys
(in
their
original
packages),
and
plays
videogames
every
night
before
bed.
He's
also
a
40-year-old
virgin.
During
a
poker
game
with
his
coworkers
David
(Paul
Rudd),
Jay
(Romany
Malco),
and
Cal
(Seth
Rogen),
talk
turns
to
sex
and
it
becomes
very
clear
that
Andy
doesn't
know
what
he's
talking
about.
His
friends
become
intent
on
remedying
his
situation,
and
their
advice
leads
to
newfound
confidence
for
naïve
Andy.
But
when
he
develops
true
feelings
for
single
mother
Trish
(Catherine
Keener),
Andy
finds
that
all
the
sex
advice
in
the
world
won't
help
him
navigate
the
choppy
waters
of
an
adult
relationship.
In
Andy,
Carrell
has
found
a
perfect
comic
creation
who
is
hilarious,
lovable,
and
rooted
in
reality.
Rudd,
Malco,
and
Rogen
are
also
perfectly
cast
as
Andy's
cheerleaders.
The
script,
by
Carrell
and
first-time
director
Judd
Apatow
(producer
of
TV's
FREAKS
AND
GEEKS),
is
consistently
funny,
and--despite
its
relentless
crudity--treats
its
nerdy
protagonist
with
the
utmost
respect.
This
rare
quality
and
its
high
laugh-to-joke
ratio
make
VIRGIN
one
of
the
most
enjoyable
comedies
of
the
decade.
