A Character So Good, It Started an Entire Genre
During the early and mid 2000's, the Judd Apatow comedy had taken over Hollywood, and at the start, was an up and coming megastar in Steve Carell. Having co-written it beside Apatow, The 40 Year Old Virgin is the film that started a new genre of lead, the "everyman." Let's dive into what made this film so emotionally different from the others of its time, and why it's humor has stood the test of time. All music/SFX properly licensed via Motion Array.
