Summary: Stupid....
Review: This was just a stupid movie. Don't get me wrong, I like stupid comedies (like Scary Movie- part 1 only), but not when they are trying to make an actual point. I find that insulting to my intelligence. There was nothing in this movie that was remotely based in reality, and anyone with 2 brain cells to rub together knew it. Examples: Co-workers start a $20,000 betting pool that the main character won't last 40 days without sex (not to mention the 1000's of dollars they put into building a complex web site to track everything). The movie starts out with the main character being the smoothest guy in the world, by the end he's a clumsy, confidence-lacking idiot. My personal favorite -women want to have sex with him just so they can keep the power (obviously no other guy has ever gone 40 days). Every character in this movie is ...unemotional. The main female character gets furious over things that no one would ever get mad about. Everyone brushes over the things that would make any normal person mad. There is no character development at all. If it were just a comedy I would give it a better review. The problem is, the movie tries to make some points and pass itself off as a romantic comedy. 1.5 stars...and that is being generous.

Summary: A Nice Break
Review: Go figure, everyone would jump on this movie for being pointless, almost pornographic, with bad acting. On the contrary, I really enjoyed getting a break from many of the other movies released in the past few months- it was nice to have something (though silly) to laugh at. Many critics seem to be accusing Josh Hartnett of bad acting, but I think that may be partly due to his extreme fame. I couldn't help but laugh at the way he conducted himself in this film.

Summary: Title needs changed to "20 something Bordello dot com"
Review: Not only was this movie about sex, there was nothing else about this movie other than sex. The movie is replete with aberrent and open sex talk and acts, including more euphimisms for masturbation than Hemmingway's blood alcohol content on ....well, any given day, plus a slightly used condom scene that there is no other way to describe but "Ewwwwww...". No one was really abstaining from sex in the movie...even upper management at work and previously "vowed celibate" members of the clergy. The movie is a poster child for sexual misconduct in the workplace and an exceedingly bad example of how *not* to get yourself something that Ajax won't take off in this era of continually new and improved STD's. Not that it isn't funny, as it does have it moments, but they are few and far between. Wouldn't be bad for ... [a low price] when it hits the video shelves, but price for theater admission is aiming too high for this flick. Disappointing for Josh Hartnett, who actually seems to have talent -- here's hoping for better scripts for him ahead. And for the love of God, would someone please comb Shannyn Sossamon's hair ?!?

Summary: Crude and vulgar
Review: Think of 40 Days & 40 Nights as the adult and mature version of American Pie, except that it has more of a plot and character development than its teenage counterpart. The basic story is about Matt, a guy who have no problem getting laid every so often, but after his breakup with long time girlfriend Nicole, sex have become somewhat meaningless. So to get his life back on track, he decided to give up sex for Lent, and that includes no bodily intimacy of any kind with women. Unfortunately, he meets this incredible girl name Erica, and it becomes a test of will power for him to finish what he started. For a movie that deals with sex and is very bold about it, expect a lot of jokes and dialogues surrounding that topic. Mix it up with some physical comedies and a great deal with sexual tension, that's pretty much what the film is about. Josh Hartnett did a passable job as the lead, kind of a let down after his brilliant performance in Black Hawk Down. Overall I got a few laughs from 40 Days & 40 Nights, but I thought the point of the movie (if there ever was one) sort of got lost towards the end. Ultimately it falls into the same pattern that defines romantic comedies which you've seen many times before, I found nothing special or memorable about this experience.

Summary: Fun, hip movie of the year
Review: Josh Hartnett is hilarious in this laugh-out-loud romantic comedy. It's a feel-good movie perfect for date night. I laughed, gasped, cheered, you name it. My attention never lacked from the handsome Josh Hartnett's suffering with the likes of Vinessa Shaw (Ladybugs, Hocus Pocus) and Shannyn Sossamon (A Knight's Tale). Very entertaining and fun!!

Summary: I thought it would be funnier...but not bad
Review: This movie is about a guy who gets his heart broken by an ex-girlfriend. It leads to him coming to the conclusion to give up sex for Lent...40 days and 40 nights. No sex (even the Clinton kind), no kissing, no touching, and no playing when you're lonely (if you catch my drift) for 40 days. He does fine for awhile, but day 25ish-he becomes agitated and the lack of being intimate either with a woman or with himself is getting to him. He meets a gal, she doesn't know it the situation at first but later finds out-upset because he wasn't honest but later comes around and is supportive. Does he make it the 40 days? You're just going to have to watch it for yourself... I rate this 3.5 stars to 4 stars, as I thought it would be funnier but it is quite funny as it is. I would say this movie is surely NOT recommended for younger children and use discretion when you think about bringing (a) child(ren) to watch this flick...

Summary: It's not that bad.
Review: Ignore the reviewers and critics of this movie. It's not that bad. They start from a serious premise (e.g. some find deep meaning in the title) and of course are disappointed. I am a boomer who rented the movie for some nudity and laughs. I knew I wouldn't relate to the GenX sex-comedy genre based on some recent disappointing experiences (with the Ben Stiller type of comedies.) I didn't find the nudity satisfying and there were a few laughs with the Sienfeld "Master of the Domain" type of gag. But what captivated me was the chemistry between the two protagonists. I haven't found that in young actors in a long time. I found the love story between the two (without the explicit sex) very believable and refreshing. I wish the DVD had some more extras like the deleted scenes that the commentary talked about.

Summary: DONT RENT. DONT BUY. JUST BURN
Review: Save yourself the 90-120 minutes and do something else with your life. Read a book, write a poem... or realize there is nothing funny about being raped. Just do not under any circumstances watch this film. It is a waste of perfectly good light and I believe it should never be encouraged. Remember that they will stop making bad movies if we dont watch them.

Summary: Not the best, but better then I expected
Review: Ok, I know that this movie will not go down as the best movie of anything, but we all know that. The reason why I love this film is because of the relationship between Josh And Shannyn. I like the story revalving around him finding a real women, letting go of his ex, and his struggle for redemption from pimping women. I think Josh did a great job showing how hard this vow of his was hitting him. You see when he's with Erica, hes really happy and isent in turmoil, but without her, you see him falling more and more. Not the best comedy, but pretty fair romantic story that makes up for it.
