Description
Andy Stitzer has a pleasant life with a nice apartment and a job stamping invoices at an electronics store. But at age 40, there's one thing Andy hasn't done, and it's really bothering his sex-obsessed male co-workers: Andy is still a virgin. Determined to help Andy get laid, the guys make it their mission to de-virginize him. But it all seems hopeless until Andy meets small business owner Trish, a single mom.

Key opinion
The 40-Year-Old Virgin is widely regarded as a refreshing, character-driven comedy that subverts the tropes of crude teen-oriented films.

| Screenplay | The screenplay effectively blends provocative, raunchy humor with a surprisingly thoughtful exploration of intimacy and personal maturity. | |
