Our take
The title tells you where the jokes are going. The 40 Year-Old Virgin is full of blunt sex talk, crude language, drinking and embarrassing situations, with a gentler romance beneath it. We would keep it for 16 and up.
Uplifting themes
Andy eventually wants honest intimacy instead of locker-room pressure. The ending favors respect over conquest, even after raunchy setup Andy stays kind and finally sets boundaries with his friends. Trish models patience as a single mom, while several buddies stay immature
Story (may spoil tone)
Andy Stitzer has a pleasant life with a nice apartment and a job stamping invoices at an electronics store. But at age 40, there's one thing Andy hasn't done, and it's really bothering his sex-obsessed male co-workers: Andy is still a virgin. Determined to help Andy get laid, the guys make it their mission to de-virginize him. But it all seems hopeless until Andy meets small business owner Trish, a single mom.

Talk after watching
- Andy's friends think they are helping, but their advice often sounds cruel. When does teasing cross into bullying?
- The film asks what intimacy should look like versus what the guys there is. What does a healthy first relationship need beyond bragging rights?
