The 40 Year Old Virgin (2005)

I wonder if I can get a humour transplant on National Health since I seem to be increasingly out of joint with what is meant to be funny nowadays.  This film was a surprise hit and the breakout feature for its lead, Steve Carell, but I found the humour largely juvenile with only the occasional real laugh.  The story is apparent from the title insofar as we are presented with a nice enough fellow, albeit rather obsessed with collecting toy models, who has never managed to "do the deed".  When his co-workers learn what they consider to be the sorry fact, they do everything they can to make him one of their club -- the fact that they are also losers in their own way is skimmed over.  He tentatively begins a relationship with Catherine Keener without initially having to show his prowess or indeed to admit the truth to her -- and the moments between them do have a certain charm -- but hardly loud yaks.  She is a most likeable actress and the viewer does root for their future together.  The action behind the end credits is the most amusing part of this movie -- if only the overall tone had been so charming, without depending on scenes of his getting his chest waxed or not knowing what to do with a condom (to say nothing about his being vomited upon!).
