The 40 Year Old Virgin (2005)Directed by Judd Apatow, rated R, 116 minutes
The 40 Year Old Virgin is an immensely funny and surprisingly heartfelt comedy about a nerdy, virgin loner who after his "secret" is revealed to a couple of his co-workers, is egged on to finally get it done, but all the pressure isn't helping as he tries to form a relationship with a single mom. Steve Carell is fantastic and oddly relatable as the eponymous virgin, but it's the rest of the cast, including Seth Rogen in his breakout 
role and the always funny Paul Rudd, that takes this movie to a new level. The story is great and the dialogue is endlessly quotable, even though much of it was improvised. The 40 Year Old Virgin is an extremely entertaining film that will make anyone laugh. You'll like it if: You like dialogue heavy movies, raunchy comedies, Steve Carrel, Knocked Up or Chasing Amy.

The first good review i've read. This movie started the whole "Hard R, but sweet ending" comedies.
