![]() ![]() ![]() I was able to relate to the character of Andy Stitzer more than anyone in the theater because I was the only teenager present at this showing everyone else looked like they were all past 40. As someone who is rapidly approaching 20, collects McFarlane Toys action figures AND has himself never done the deed, I found this film amusing and touching in a way that a similar-themed movie could never have been. Sure there are sex jokes here and there and even a few prods are aimed at the gay community (which are, in no way, meant to be taken as gay-bashing), as two of the characters exchange insults towards each other while playing a video game ("Mortal Kombat: Deception," no less - the ultimate testosterone-driven fightfest for guys). It could have descended into endless sex gags and jokes but thankfully this picture never stoops that low. This is a movie that could very easily have turned out a lot differently in the hands of a more transparent team of filmmakers. Now here's the real novelty with this picture: it does the impossible task of actually dealing with its subject matter in a cute, mature fashion. He's a pretty picturesque definition of the Lonely Guy who needs to go out more and talk to more women. He has a lovely home theater system and watches "Survivor" with his two kind elderly neighbors. What's more, there's a movie out about it, and it's called "The 40 Year-old Virgin." The virgin of the title is Andy Stitzer (Steve Carell), who is indeed 40, works as an employee at an electronics store and collects vintage action figures, which are displayed all throughout his nice bachelor pad for all to see. And then the unexpected happens: he falls in love. ![]() Too many past bad experiences have dampened his enthusiasm to the point that he avoids women completely. This and other anomalies make this Caribbean island quite phenomenal, and there are geological structures that you will find only here.In the previews, "The 40 Year-Old Virgin" boasts the image of another immature sex romp about a 40-ish Lonely Guy who suddenly feels the urge to do the deed simply because he hasn't. ![]() Geologically Barbados is unique, being actually two land masses that merged together over the years. Within the coral core there is a vast array of caves and underground lakes which provide an excellent supply of drinking water that is amongst the purest in the world. When you visit, you will see it is mostly a flat coral island with excellent beaches, but there are also rolling hills and many deep ridges and gullies, with an interesting distribution of flora and fauna. The constant breeze of the trade winds gives the island a mild and pleasant tropical climate. Along the East Coast a lively surf is blown briskly by the strong and constant trade winds and the waves pound against a rocky shore. Coral reefs fringe coast providing excellent snorkeling and Scuba Diving. On the West Coast, beaches of fine white sand stretch along a blue-green sea. Barbados is a coral island, pushed out of sea by volcanic activity in a far away time. ![]()
