The 40-Year-Old Virgin is a 2005 comedy film starring Steve Carell in the title role, and the first film to put director Judd Apatow on the map (after television stints with Freaks and Geeks and Undeclared).It is the story of Andy Stitzer (Carell), a 40-year-old man who, due to a series of unfortunate mishaps all throughout his youth, never experienced sexual intercourse during his formative years and has lost interest in his adulthood. One night, while playing cards with his friends from the electronics store where they all work, Andy inadvertently reveals that he's a virgin; this initially results in the expected chummy jeers, but shortly thereafter his friends Cal (Seth Rogen), Jay (Romany Malco), and David (Paul Rudd) decide to help him lose his virginity. Eventually, Andy meets a nice woman named Trish (Catherine Keener) with whom he shares a genuine emotional connection, and though he's nervous about telling her the truth about his virginity and the subject of sex in general, he must learn to overcome his insecurities to discover both sex and romance.Since we all know that no true man is a virgin and that Loners Are Freaks, this movie surprised many by portraying the title character, a virginal and nerdy (he collects action figures and comics) introvert, not as some kind of loser or freak but as a likeable fellow who's simply chosen not to have sex after a short series of rejections in his youth. Since it dresses in the skin of a Sex Comedy, it's also refreshing to see the subject of sex summed up as "a nice thing to have, but meaningless without love," as seen in Andy's well-meaning but dim-witted friends, who all lead active sex lives but are probably less happy than Andy because their romantic relationships are unfulfilling. | |

All Men Are Perverts | |
| The 40-Year-Old Virgin / int_129749df | comment |
All Men Are Perverts: All the men, apart from Andy, are portrayed as overly eager for sex, and they repeatedly virgin-shame Andy for either not having sex or for respecting women (i.e. "Pussy on a pedestal"). | |

Mistaken for Murderer: Near the beginning, Cal suspects that Andy is a Serial Killer due to his shy, antisocial personality. Later, Trish makes the same assumption when she finds David's box of porn in Andy's place, a plastic 3D model of a vagina from the health clinic Andy took Marla to, and a Mento that she assumes is a date rape drug. | |

Pac-Man Fever | |
| The 40-Year-Old Virgin / int_38d3a0f7 | comment |
Pac Man Fever: Utterly savage example: Cal and David play a PlayStation 2 game with Nintendo 64 controllers (one of which is upside-down). At least what they're playing is portrayed correctly, if anything. Until the fatality, which the movie seems to think is interactive. (It isn't.) While the N64 controller is inexcusable, the "upside-down" controller is actually the joystick attached to the game chair Andy has. Made extra-confusing by the fact that Mortal Kombat 4 did appear on the N64, but they chose to use footage from one of the PS2 Mortal Kombat games instead. | |

Nerds Are Virgins | |
| The 40-Year-Old Virgin / int_5f2b0457 | comment |
Nerds Are Virgins: Played with significantly. While Andy's hobbies paint him as nerdy, it's been observed by some female reviewers that Andy should be the one with the active sex life, not in spite of his personal habits, but because of them. For instance, while his friends are observed to be whiny losers, Andy is a handsome man who prefers an "unmanly" bicycle to get around, but it helps keep him in great shape on top of his regular exercise regime, giving a handsome exterior complementing his winning interior. | |

Four-Temperament Ensemble: Andy is melancholic (very friendly while also very lonely), David is phlegmatic (laid-back and easygoing but obsessive when it comes to his ex), Cal is sanguine (the most passionate when supporting Andy's romantic endeavors), and Jay is choleric (often rude and loudly so, but also supportive of Andy). | |

Performance Anxiety | |
| The 40-Year-Old Virgin / int_718c561 | comment |
Performance Anxiety: A good part of the reason why Andy is still a virgin is that the fact that he hadn't lost his virginity in his younger years caused him to feel more pressure to have sex, which made him more anxious when he tried dating women and only caused him to turn them off. | |

Right for the Wrong Reasons | |
| The 40-Year-Old Virgin / int_83cef301 | comment |
Right for the Wrong Reasons: Cal's advice is the most helpful to Andy, but his reasons and methods can be summed up as an overcorrection to Andy's problems. Cal suggests that Andy tidies up his home so Trish won't be so put off by his collectibles, but Andy ends up giving off the wrong impression with Trish turning up to an empty and miserable-looking home. When Cal advises Andy to just look confident and let women talk about themselves, Andy has much more success and gets a boost in confidence, but Cal then tells him not to rush or get into a serious relationship before losing his virginity since Trish will know he's sexually inexperienced. | |

Sex as Rite-of-Passage: Played with. Andy and Trish consummating their love is part of his development, but more as a sign of him opening himself up to mature intimacy than becoming an "adult" as he's much more mature and developed than his sexually active, but boorish and childish friends. | |

He is somewhat simultaneously embarrassed and proud when love interest Trish sees it. She later talks him into to selling some of his collection online, revealing it to be worth tens of thousands of dollars. | |

Ultimate Job Security | |
| The 40-Year-Old Virgin / int_8c55e307 | comment |
Ultimate Job Security: Numerous times over the film, Andy's coworkers have the dozens of display televisions showing nudity, whether it's a sex scene from a movie or straight-up pornography (inappropriate conduct), one of their coworkers filming his ass (inappropriate conduct mixed with indecent exposure), another watching a violent horror movie, and they're also frequently depicted using profanity up to and including racial slurs towards other coworkers on the shop floor, with one use of the n-word coming from Jay towards a black customer who is implied to be a gang-member with a -ga suffix, Jay and Mooj arguing which devolves into the pair exchanging racist insults, graphic discussions of sexual acts (such as Andy "admitting" to Jay's girlfriend that he wrote that another girl was "hurtin' for a squirtin'"), and using insults towards non-employees, such as Andy referring to her as a ho (all of which constitute as harassment) and David threatening to kill everyone in the store and himself (threats of violence and making terroristic threats). These all occur during opening hours with customers in the store and the most punishment any of them get is David merely being sent home for the day. Cal is the only one who abstains from any of these, despite being the most boorish of the employees. He does discuss the donkey show mentioned above, but this was in an employees-only part of the store and he wasn't speaking loud enough for anyone to hear. | |

Lousy Lovers Are Losers: Seemingly played straight but then Averted in the ending. When Andy consummates his marriage with Trish and finally loses his virginity, it lasted 60 seconds. He's floored but she's clearly unsatisfied. But then she asks if wants to do it again and he does and the scene fades to a Sexy Discretion Shot, and this time it lasts two hours and they both look exhausted and satisfied in bed. | |

The next time we see her, she is walking into the living room covering her own eyes as well as her little sisters, half-jokingly asking if it's safe to look. | |

Irony: Despite being sexually inexperienced and being constantly emasculated by other men for being a virgin, Andy has the best grasp of where the boundaries are with women and he is the most mature of his friends, whose advice is either derogatory at best or outright sex offenses at worst. This is the actual theme of the movie; sex and maturity aren't the same things and one does not constitute the other. It doesn't matter if you lose your virginity late in life as long as you're happy with who you do it with. | |

Fan Disservice: Paul Rudd's bare ass on at least two-dozen large television screens during his meltdown about his ex. We almost get a full view of his junk though thankfully Cal comes running in and wrestles the camera away from him before it can go that far. | |

Shout-Out | |
| The 40-Year-Old Virgin / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Verging on Company Cross References — Andy has in his room a poster for Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie, and a giant poster/sticker of Thunderbird 5 over his bed, specifically the 2004 film version — both of those films and this one were produced or distributed by Universal. | |

A Man Is Always Eager | |
| The 40-Year-Old Virgin / int_cd427ce1 | comment |
A Man Is Always Eager: Inverted. Andy passes up a handful of potential partners instead of taking up with the first one who offers. He doesn't even take the first opportunity to have sex with his girlfriend. It's because he places love and romance over sex and refuses to have the latter without the former first. Not everyone gets this at first, especially Trish, who thinks there must be something wrong with her because of Andy's reluctance to have sex. | |

Porn Stash: David's gift to Andy, in an ill-conceived and unsuccessful attempt to make him comfortable about sex. This inevitably ends up as one of the cruelest Brick Jokes ever. | |

Sudden Musical Ending: With zero buildup, the ending segues from Andy and Trish in bed to a glorious, uplifting song and dance montage. | |

Despair Event Horizon | |
| The 40-Year-Old Virgin / int_dda99fa8 | comment |
Despair Event Horizon: David's biggest regret is breaking up with a girl due to her blowing another guy, despite how amazing the sex was. He tried to get her back to the point where she had to move and change her phone number. While keeping it in check for most of the film, they have a chance encounter at a speed dating event and while David thinks they're gonna get back together, she shoots him down. When the group returns to work, David is a complete mess, complete with half his shirt untucked. This culminates in him trying to "sell" a customer a video camera despite the poor man just wanting to buy a cordless phone. He speaks to the camera like he's chewing her out before miming a blowjob and broadcasting his ass to the entire store before Cal has to stop him flashing everybody his junk. Despite his boss witnessing this, he is only sent home for the day instead of being fired. | |

Manchild | |
| The 40-Year-Old Virgin / int_e150c4c7 | comment |
It's one of the few correlations between sex and worthiness at first, but it's later clear that his childish hobbies are a healthy outlet for the spare time he has that others would dedicate to being horndogs, and a sign of commitment and passion. When Trish tries to use some of his lifestyle choices as proof he's a Manchild, he defends himself pretty easily. | |

Manchild | |
| The 40-Year-Old Virgin / int_e313b4e7 | comment |
Manchild: Downplayed with Andy, to a degree (at least insofar as his action figure collection is concerned). His friends, on the other hand, play this straight in every other aspect. It's one of the few correlations between sex and worthiness at first, but it's later clear that his childish hobbies are a healthy outlet for the spare time he has that others would dedicate to being horndogs, and a sign of commitment and passion. When Trish tries to use some of his lifestyle choices as proof he's a Manchild, he defends himself pretty easily. | |

Nature Abhors a Virgin | |
| The 40-Year-Old Virgin / int_e6d0ea39 | comment |
Nature Abhors a Virgin: Played with. While Andy initially tries to hide his virginity, he's not really bothered by the expectations to have sex or have sex be the central part of a relationship. His friends, however, go to great lengths to get him some action, though in the end Andy loses his virginity on his own terms. | |

Rousseau Was Right: Several movie critics have remarked on how the humor doesn't involve teasing or pranks, but the honest, if misguided, attempts of Andy's friends to help. | |

Of Course I'm Not a Virgin | |
| The 40-Year-Old Virgin / int_ef702856 | comment |
Of Course I'm Not a Virgin: At the poker game, the guys start sharing their wildest sex stories, when they ask Andy about his, he starts telling a story about a woman whose breast felt like a "bag full of sand." The guys deduce Andy has no idea what he's talking about, and start making fun of him for being a virgin, despite him loudly denying it. | |

Verbal Backspace: Cal tears David's ex a new one after their speed-dating encounter, saying that what she is putting him through is cruel and she's driving him crazy. When she informs him that David is practically stalking her, he apologizes without changing the tone or volume of his voice. | |
