40 Days and 40 Nights [DVD] [2002]

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

To get over his girlfriend, Matt Sullivan (Hartnett) turned to sex- lots of it. But Matt realized that he needed to go further- to go where no man has gone before.

No sex. Whatsoever. For 40 days.
That’s tough at the best of times, but for Matt it seems impossible: he’s met the woman of his dreams (Sossamon) and bets are out that he won’t make it.
