Critics Consensus

Steve Carell's first star turn scores big with a tender treatment of its titular underdog, using raunchy but realistically funny comedy to connect with adult audiences.

The script is little more than an excuse for letting a bouncy team of sketch comics have their heads. Unlike most films pasted together in this way, it displays a certain cohesion.

Both comedically and emotionally, The 40-Year-Old Virgin -- if you’ll pardon the expression -- goes all the way.
