I will say that I was not a big fan of ‘The 40 Year Old Virgin’, other than Steve Carell’s peformance. I am actually not much of a fan of Judd Apatow’s work. Then again I am not the target audience.
Straight men are the target, and most of the straight men I have spoken to love these movies.
They are bloke films.
I sometimes listen to a group of guys sitting around talking about sports, women, sex and beer, and laughing and shouting at passers by and doing stupid dares and I just do not get it. HoweverI have never found much humor in that moronic male bonding scenario. I find it kind of sexist and homophobic at times.
I had two sisters and hardly any male friends growing up (where I am from they don’t like gays much). Perhaps if I did I would find peeing in a water gun and shooting people funny, however I didn’t and I just think it is rude.

This, to me, sends out a huge message to people about safer sex/parental responsibility and I hope it pulls it off with sensitivity. The reviews I have read have stated it does this very well, but I would like to hear from people who have seen it, so please leave a comment and let me know if I should spend my moola!

I wouldn't bother. Never been a fan of moronic behaviour, and found the film slightly homophobic..................then it was made in my lovely country
