Summary: Immature twenty-something comedy
Review: It was bound to happen. Josh Hartnett became a very hot property after "Pearl Harbor" so it was inevitable that he would get the lead in a romantic comedy. Unfortunately, it isn't a very good one. The screenplay is a typically sex-obsessed teen flick with twenty-something characters.
Matt (Hartnett) is trying to get over his ex-girlfriend Nicole (Vinessa Shaw) by having sex with every woman he meets. When it dawns on him that this is superficial and fraught with anxiety, he decides to give up sex for lent. Of course, as soon as he makes "The Vow", he meets his dream girl Erica (Shannyn Sossamon) and he spends much of the ensuing time trying to come up with reasons not to have sex with her. Meanwhile, his co-workers and half the internet have a pool on what day he will give in. The comedy is mostly puerile, though there are a few funny lines sprinkled here and there.Director Michael Lehmann has plenty of experience with vacuous comedy, having directed "Heathers" and "Airheads". He has done better on TV with "The Larry Sanders Show" and "The West Wing". Lehmann keeps it light, but the material is just too jejune for him to do much. To his credit, the cast seemed to be having fun with it. Josh Hartnett is an excellent dramatic actor. However, as a buffoon he is just not that funny. His true skills emerge in the romantic scenes with Shannyn Sossamon where his sincerity shines through. Hartnett and Sossamon have terrific chemistry. There is a very sensitive and endearing quality about their scenes together. Sossamon is a bright young talent who might do well with the right scripts. She is lovely and engaging with good acting ability. Paul Costanzo provides much of the best comedy as Matt's sexually fixated roommate. This isn't a terrible comedy, but it is rather immature considering the age of the characters and the target audience. I rated it a 6/10.

Summary: Funny...nothing more to it
Review: If you have nothing else to do, then maybe you can spend some spare time watching this film. This film reinforces the notion how preoccupied men are with sex. Good thing the film was generally funny otherwise all those betting, sex jokes & tempting female co-workers (talk about the devil's temptation)are simply sick & disgusting. I haven't seen Josh Hartnett in Pearl Harbor so I cannot say how good an actor he is. But by judging in this film, he's just an average. He sometimes reminds me of Sylvester Stallone when he speaks. As for Shannyn Sossamon, she's not outstanding either. Nothing in this film required her or allowed her to show off her acting skills. She's just another 'love interest'like in the Knight's Tale.

Summary: Dumb, Dumber, and Dumbest!
Review: I wanted to love this movie. I thought it looked hysterical in the trailer, but to my surprise it could be one of the worst movies of the year. The usually charming and intense actor Josh Hartnett is utterly embarrassing in this unfunny and uninteresting, dare I say, comedy. Slowly paced, rediculous dialogue and an annoying supporting cast make this film almost unbearable.Major fans of Josh Hartnett will probably love this film, and I have always been of fan of his, but he suffers miserably throughout the film. The only saving grace is the exquisite Shannyn Sossyman as the love interest, but even she can't rise above the cheesy plot. There also is a very sensual and romantic love scene involving a flower, but its about an hour and a half into the movie, and thats way to long for anything exciting to happen in any film. ...

Summary: Lame
Review: Now granted this movie had some very funny parts in it, but the overall picture in my opinion was a giant letdown... To me a good picture has everything, good storyline, ending, etc., and while this movie did a wonderful job of getting you to root for the main character it loses a lot of fizzle at the end. When I got done watching the movie I was rather irritated with the ending (enough to write this review). So, in my opinion save the 2 hours of your time you would spend watching this movie and do something else, anything else. It would have to be better than this movie.

Summary: A surprisingly sophiscated sex comedy
Review: ... The teenage ...-comedy genre has found success in recent years, and I thought 40 Days and 40 Nights would follow the trend. But I was pleasantly surprised to discover the ... jokes were for the most part not gross out funny, but were, in fact, almost sophisticated. ... It's a simple plot: Guy gives up sex for Lent, and deals with the daily temptations, especially when he meets a new girl. Soon everyone knows about the self-denial and starts placing bets when he'll cave-in. Despite its crude topic, this film becomes a touching romantic comedy, with Josh Hartnett dishing out one of his best performances. The music is well chosen and well timed, and the pacing works great. This isn't a life-changing film, but it, in my opinion, is the best ...-comedy out there. Worth checking out even if you don't like typical ... humor, you'll be surprised.

Summary: 40 Days and 40 Nights-good for the whole length
Review: I think that this movie is really great! It combines a love story with good humor to make a movie worth watching over and over again. They even use symbolism, with "tryst," so this is no pushover movie. It is entertaining, good quality, and the cast is excellent. Josh Hartnett is great; a big role for him is still yet to come, and he is the perfect person for this kind of "make you feel good" movie. Shannyn Sossamon, besides being gorgeous, is also really great. She was good in A Knight's Tale, and is also still a fledgling actress. Hopefully, I will see her in many more movies. Own this movie, and see it again and again!!! I love it.

Summary: Funny For All The Wrong Reasons
Review: Any sex scene that involves blowing a flower petal repeatedly back and forth, and is taken seriously by all involved, should be put in a time capsule and saved so that future generations can look back at us and laugh and laugh and laugh. Laughter is the best medicine, and the only dose I got was during this scene. Wow, if it wasn't for Shannon's partial nudity I would've needed a trip to the E.R....stat! Hollywood sexism is on full display here, and the only reason I gave this 2 stars instead of 1 is that it's not quite the worst movie I've ever seen (I'm saving that space in case they make a sequel). Only see this movie for the most superficial reasons - Josh Hartnett for the ladies/all the gratuitously scantily clad ladies for the guys. If you are looking for any redeeming qualities here, you better have a back-up plan. There is some truth in advertising though - by the time the credits rolled in the theater I could've sworn at least 40 days had gone by.

Summary: Well....
Review: I gave it three b/c I couldn't give two and a half. I remembered this movie b/c I saw it on the first day it came out. What can I say, it was my b-day and I consider any Josh Hartnett movie a gift to myself but this one left me kinda... Let down after all the hype. This movie seriously had me salivating to see MORE MORE MORE of Josh Hartnett (like almost every movie he does, blow dry being the exception) BUT I kinda got drowsy in the middle. Don't get me wrong the movie does have its moments, I WILL be getting the DVD 'cuz I'm a huge Hartnett fan and I LOVE Paulo Costanzo, but it left me kinda feeling indifferent.
