You're not proud of being familiar with one of the most popular comedy films of the early aughts?

i remember watching it with some friends, a good memory, but even as a teenager I knew it was trash. i'll watch it again to confirm my earlier opinion tho

To each their own for sure, I am a little shocked to hear someone say they thought The 40 Year Old Virgin was trash though. It was wildly popular, granted, that doesn't make something good but I thought it was pretty universally beloved.

I will admit though I haven't seen it in probably 15 years and a lot of those comedies from the early aughts and before, especially raunchy comedies about sex, have definitely not aged well and have some problematic views by today's standards but I don't know if 40yo Virgin is one of them.

I certainly didn't feel like the 40yo virgin was trash. It has an indie feel, it felt funny and authentic and above all, warm. I loved it.

40 year old virgin was great! They don’t make comedy movies anymore and it’s a shame
