Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Apatow genuinely loves his hero, and the film's innate sweetness carries it through the rough patches of a funny comedy with a central relationship that isn't particularly funny.
Count me among the naysayers.
It's truly dirty and truly romantic at the same time, a combination that's very hard to pull off.
It's worth making a date with The 40-Year-Old Virgin. You won't go home disappointed.
