Saw The 40 Year Old Virgin last night.

[huskerlaw]

My abs still hurt from laughing so hard.

Favorite scene: the chest hair wax. :rofl:

Discuss.

[WCGreen]

1. I took my 85 year old MIL to see it and she loved it...

[huskerlaw]

2. Wow, really?

She must be tre cool. My similarly-aged grandmother would have freaked out. And she's fairly open-minded.

[El Fuego]

3. Kelly CLARKSON!!

[WCGreen]

4. No you di'in... She ain;t no virgin....

[ghostsofgiants]

5. The waxing seen had me in tears so much that my eyes started to sting

Has to be one of the funniest movies I've ever seen.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

6. He actually had that done in the scene - wanted it to be realistic

[huskerlaw]

9. OMG, that's even better

I can't wait until it comes out on DVD

[ghostsofgiants]

10. I know...

That's fucking dedication.

[huskerlaw]

8. Same here

I was actually sobbing. My friends and I were passing around napkins to wipe away the tears.

[deadparrot]

7. The wax scene was amazing.

And you knew what was coming every time. The audience was in hysterics. You just wanted to hear what was gonna come out of his mouth next. Poor guy. :o

Great movie, though. :D

[Ladyhawk]

11. Stop peeking through my window! n/t

[Zomby Woof]

12. Funniest movie ever

:rofl:

[Reverend_Smitty]

13. you look like a "man-o-lantern"

priceless...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

14. I have to say, my dear huskerlaw, that all these

recommendations from people I respect, no less, means that when this baby comes out on DVD...

I'll be getting it!


I'll have to check it out on amazon.com...and see if I can pre-order it.....

I'll bet I can.....:woohoo:

[huskerlaw]

17. Peggy, you would LOVE it

it's seriously one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. I'm even considering going to see it in the theaters again.

Like, maybe in LA... ;)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

18. Hm..Sounds good to me.....

I'd LOVE to see it live....

Let's talk about it when you and I are both in town, OK?

:woohoo:

[LynneSin]

15. That chest hair scene was real

I mean, when they were pulling off chest hair that was actually happening to Steve Carell. Had to have been the funniest movie scene I had seen in ages!!

Obviously this isn't Oscar caliber material, but I could see Carell getting a Golden Globe nomination in the Musical/Comedy category. He was really both believable and loveable

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

16. First movie in years, if ever, where I was IN PAIN from laughter.

Continuous and relentless.

"You kind of felt sorry for her. We felt sorry for the horse, too."

[Rob H.]

19. The post-waxing shot was great, too

Where he was walking down the street and you could see the little droplets of blood soaking through his shirt--it was so wrong, it was right. :P

Definitely getting it when it comes out on DVD.

[Arugula Latte]

20. I was wondering if that was a real effect after the real waxing.

Wouldn't be surprised.

The morning boner scenes also cracked me up, as did his attempt to hang with the dudes and play poker while talking about a non-existent girlfriend ... and when he was chatting up the woman in the bookstore -- too funny.

[Rob H.]

22. They might've been

It looked like they were there right before he put his shirt back on and stormed out of the waxing (could be makeup, though).

And the Bollywood ending?! I couldn't stop laughing.

[fudge stripe cookays]

21. "Go fuck a goat!"

The Hindi guys were hilarious.

[Enraged_Ape]

23. I must have laughed HARD every 30 seconds

In my opinion, it ranks in the Comedy Movie Hall of Fame with "Office Space", "Animal House", and "Raising Arizona". It is destined to become a timeless classic.

"KELLY CLARKSON!" Apparently, he just ad-libbed that during the waxing scene. Too fucking funny.

[LouisianaLiberal]

24. Miss him on the Daily Show

Haven't seen the movie...But what's with the chest hair removal? Nothing wrong with a hairy chest! I've never had any complaints (not to my face anyway) Should men now have hairless chests? What about makeup - should we start wearing that too? Should we start reading Vogue?

Nothing against the movie - I will see it sometime - and Steve Carrell is hilarious. I'm just wondering if this is some trend, or was the scene meant to show how damned silly this is?

[fudge stripe cookays]

27. That's exactly what it was.

His friends were teasing him that he was too hairy, and not having any self-confidence, he went along with it. Definitely silly. i doubt any man will ever undergo the procedure again after seeing this film. The man was bleeding afterwards for cryin out loud.

25. I do not think I want to see it

it might hit a little bit too close to home. Except I am 43 and a half. In one of my favorite cartoons, Ziggy says "learn to laugh at your troubles .... everybody else does."

[Z_I_Peevey]

26. After all these descriptions

I can't wait to see this one.

So that brings my must-see-but-haven't-yet list to two, 40-Year-Old Virgin and Life Aquatic.

(I adore Steve Carrell. Those Steve vs. Steve things on the Daily Show were pants-wetting funny.)
