Movie Review: No Sex for 40 Days and Nights!
Summary: 5 Stars
In an attempt to get over his ex-girlfriend. Josh Hartnett, swears off sex for 40 days and nights, not just sex but any form of foreplay all the way down to kissing. On his first Friday night, hiding in the laundry mat, he meets Shannyn Sossamon; and they begin to fall in love. Over the next week they grow closer and closer until Shannyn starts to notice his odd reluctance for sex.
While Josh's relationship begins to fall apart, he becomes something of a spectacle as all his friends, enemies, and acquaintances begin to follow his 40 day marathon. There doesn't seem to be a woman in the city who isn't willing to have sex with him just to wreck his 40 days. The farther up the calendar the worse things get until Josh asks his friend to to handcuff him to the wall...
It's an explosive, ridiculous, and surprisingly romantic comedy. I would recommend this to any team or young adult, being a great mixture of a chick-flick and a guy movie.movie.
Movie Review: I liked it!
Summary: 5 Stars
Well, first of all, this is romantic comedy. So, if you like, for example, The Girl Next Door, Just Married or How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days, there is a big chance, that you'll like this one too. At least I did.
So, the story is about a man named Matt (Josh Hartnett), who decides to stay celibate for 40 days of Lent after a brutal breakup (he was know as a kind of 'ladies man' before). But then, he meets a girl of his dream, Erica (Shannyn Sossamon), and can't do nothing about it. Besides that, his co-workers make a bet, when he'll brake. So, he must stay celibate for 40 days, with a lot of pressure from his co-workers, but he must also prove his love for Erica. So the happy ending follows.
Although I don't really like Josh, he wasn't even anything special in this movie, But I really liked Shannyn. Her performance was just great.
So, 40 Days & 40 Nights, is a good movie overall.
Movie Review: Should be retitled 39 Days and 39 Nights, right?
Summary: 5 Stars
Because that's how long it felt when I watched this. LOL!
Oh, sure Hartnett is adorable and an excellent squinter, but the plot was just so STU-PID. I'm always up for a madcap farce, but it must be grounded in reality and teathered to a radiator in my backroom. Because, people, truth is what inspires humor, not a contrived plot full of "That would never happens" and "he must be confused about his sexualitys." Right?
Single handsome men do not refuse sex with beautiful women. I'm living proof of that. Sure, I've been with some late-nighters that I regretted the next day, but I'm proud of the body of work I've strung together -- which was particularly hot in the early 90s after I let my hair grow long and would wear tighter pants than I was accustomed to.
Movie Review: A Sweet and Sexy Comedy
Summary: 5 Stars
Josh Hartnett plays VERY well in this sweet and sexy comedy about giving up something that means a lot to you. After loosing his ex-girlfriend Josh's character vows not to do anything of a sexual nature for the 40 days and 40 nights of the Lent church season. Comedy is resident as we watch him go from one triumph to one flounder after another. The major roadblock in his vow is meeting the girl of his dreams at the laundromat. Shannon comes across as a very sweet yet street smart woman who struggles to understand Josh's vow but yet surprises herself and even Josh. This is TRULY a MUST SEE if you like light and funny movies. I would NOT reccomend this for children under 16 as there is nudity and sexual content. But that aside It's quite charming.Movie Review: 40 Days and 40 Nights-good for the whole length
Summary: 5 Stars
I think that this movie is really great! It combines a love story with good humor to make a movie worth watching over and over again. They even use symbolism, with "tryst," so this is no pushover movie. It is entertaining, good quality, and the cast is excellent. Josh Hartnett is great; a big role for him is still yet to come, and he is the perfect person for this kind of "make you feel good" movie. Shannyn Sossamon, besides being gorgeous, is also really great. She was good in A Knight's Tale, and is also still a fledgling actress. Hopefully, I will see her in many more movies.Own this movie, and see it again and again!!! I love it.
