SAM ON A WILDLY SUCCESSFUL JUDD APATOW MOVIE

THE 40 YEAR-OLD VIRGIN – "You know how when you grab a woman's
breast...it feels like...a bag of sand."
A lot of this movie was improvised, and you can really tell.  And
even though it's a basically a two hour TV show, it was consistently
the funniest comedy of the year.  You actually care about Steve
Carell's character, which is more than you can say about any of the
other Frat Pack movies (OLD SCHOOL, ANCHORMAN, WEDDING CRASHERS,
etc.).  If nothing else, the running Michael McDonald jokes are worth
the price of admission.

SCENE TO REMEMBER: The Age of Aquarius.

MORAL TO THE STORY: Wait until you're 40 to lose your virginity and
make sure it's with an ice queen like Catherine Keener.

Mom's note: My first Judd Apatow experience was compliments of Sam -- he gave me the FREAKS & GEEKS collection for Christmas one year.  I totally loved the series -- and loved Steve Carrell in this movie.  Glad Apatow moved from Will Ferrell (arrgh) to Steve...
