The 40 year old virgin

Post Reply New Topic

I found that title 40 year old virgin very insulting and degrading to alot of asperger males. I mean when you think of it who male indiviuals out there are most likely to end up 40 year old virgins? Aspergers. Or thoguh I am not one I still find it offencive towards people with social difficultys.

Should we pretend 40 year old virgins don't exist instead?

Just because the exist do we need to think its funny and make a movie so every one can laugh at the 40 year old virgin?

There are disabled people in wheelchairs do you see comdies coming out just to laugh at them? They exist too should we make a move about people in wheel chairs and insult and laugh at them.

Dumb and Dumber made fun of stupid people. There's Something About Mary made fun of stalkers. Star Wars made fun of evil emperors. South Park made fun of everybody. Every single movie in existence makes fun of or demonizes a person or group. If they didn't, and instead portrayed everybody everywhere as perfect and good and happy, then things would be pretty dull.

I've watched the movie and I can say at 21 Im way more wretched that he was, which really must mean something cause he has 19 years on me. But I enjoyed the movie and wasn't insulted by it. The movie was meant to be amusing not insulting, cant you used enjoy it in the way it was meant.
Oh and for the people wondering why is an R movie, it could have something to do with the whole story about a women and a horse at the start of the movie. Id really hate to have to explain where horses fit into the bees and the birds.

Finally, this movie made it into my little corner of the world, and I just had the chance to see it today.

Suffice it to say, I had a good time watching it while at the cinema, but it was impossible for me to watch the woes of the main character to get rid of his 40-year-old virginity and not feel like they were portraying my own life on screen (okay, I' not *that* geek, but still..). In the end, you can't help but celebrate with him to have his goal finally achieved... and wishing for yourself to do so someday as well. That's probably the only bad thing about the film for me - that makes me remind of those "pending issues" that you have yet to resolve in your life, and finding yourself past 30 while at it -- it's definitely so not funny. I'm still feeling a bit uncomfortable about it all.

That aside, the film is nice and enjoyable on its own. Even its truckload of f-words have a reason to be. But probably if you are a grown-up AS virgin, it may leave you with a bittersweet sting in your mind.

I definitely don't want to reach 40 and become a real-life Andy Stitzer, for sure...
