Amazon.co.uk Review
Some movies are so stupid that they are depressing to watch: 40 Days and 40 Nights is one of them. Almost nothing here even remotely resembles genuine human behaviour. Matt (Josh Hartnett) is brutally dumped by his knockout ex-girlfriend, and as a result is so torn-up inside that he vows to give up sexual activity--including masturbation--for Lent. His friends and coworkers start betting on how soon he'll crack. Their scepticism is fuelled when Matt meets Erica (Shannyn Sossamon) at a laundrette. They're immediately smitten with each other, but Matt struggles to stay true to his vow, even though it threatens to founder his potential relationship with Erica. Based on this description, you might think that 40 Days and 40 Nights is a religious educational video, however, the barrage of sex gags and frequent nudity will quickly dispel this notion. --Bret Fetzer

3.0 out of 5 stars
"Torture at PG-13 level",
By
This review is from: 40 Days and 40 Nights [DVD] [2002] (DVD)
Recently dumped shmuck Matt (Josh Hartnett) is sick of being constantly reminded of his ex-girlfriend when trying to fulfil his sexual desires, determined to prove that's what's been keeping him so low in his new relationships he decides to try and give up sex for 40 days, but not just sex, anything considered at all sexual including foreplay, fondling and of course touching himself... As you can guess, for a young American adult like Matt, this could prove quite a challenge and his following struggles are told in a hilarious but one-note style, Hartnett has geeky charm and physical personality to match and for people of the American Pie era, this is perfect.
3.0 out of 5 stars
I wasn't blown away by it ( No pun intended),
This review is from: 40 Days and 40 Nights [DVD] [2002] (DVD)
I can't say I'm a big fan of Josh Hatnett in general but despite that I thought he played the part of the main character really well. The film had some comical moments in it in a typical American teen drama kind of way. It seems so typical how Americans make a big drama about the mishaps of a guy not being able to shoot his load and then spread the news all over the internet. I wasn't blown away (No pun intended) but the film's worth watching if there's nout on telly (i.e. IMAO saturday evenings LOL).

Not bad but not excellent,

This review is from: 40 Days and 40 Nights [DVD] [2002] (DVD)
Unfortunately I was misled by The times.They rated this film as excellent.
The soundtrack was good and the gratuitous nudity was OK and the actresses were worth a look. I could imagine the pitch. Its about a bloke who decides not to have sex for 40 days and 40 nights. Great says the Hollywood executive it has to be winner. The trouble is that was the best joke in the film and although there were some good one liners and plenty of crude jokes the story was stretched to breaking pint. We had women who were desperate to sleep with him just because they had made a bet and his ex girlfriend comes back and rapes him. All male fantasy stuff. He falls in love and the lady finds out about the no sex pledge and the betting going on but she sticks by him and really loves him and it all works out in the end. It must have been made when dot com was sexy as all the blokes worked in dot com companies and they looked younger than the actors who play high school students. They seem to keep them in school until there about 40 and they drive cars etc. When they depict people in computer businesses they look like thirteen year old. The whole film is worth a look but not excellent. I didn't know any of the actors as it was all a bit modern for me. Not as hilarious as Hollywood had hoped but a fair effort.
