The 40 Year-Old Virgin [Soundtrack]
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Soundtracks are all about setting a mood, so right away you know what to expect from one called The 40-Year-Old Virgin. Sure, it could try to portray the psychological complexity of the situation (though that would be a little creepy), but silly is definitely the safest and most-expected course. And "silly," "safe," and "expected" are the three words that best describe the The 40-Year-Old Virgin CD. You don't need to see the movie to imagine what kind of scene might accompany Michael McDonald's "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," Lionel Richie's "Hello," and "Never Surrender" by Corey Hart. Of course the downfall of using obvious music is that it mirrors the title character's plight all too well. While his--um--maturity may be a little stunted, one could say the same for the musical maturity of this disc. The world got over "I Ran (So Far Away)" by Flock of Seagulls decades ago, but some in Hollywood never did. This CD is great for goofing around--you just might not want to pop it in when you have a special someone coming over. --Leah Weathersby
Product Description
Featuring 17 Tracks That'll Seal The Deal, Including 2 Cast Recordings
40-year-old Andy Stitzer (Steve Carell) has done quite a few things in his life. He's got a cushy job stamping invoices at an electronics superstore, a nice apartment with a proud collection of action figures and comic books, good friends, a nice attitude. But there's just one little thing he hasn't quite gotten around to doing yet - something most people have done by his age. Done a lot. Andy's never, ever, ever had sex - not even by accident. So is that such a big deal?
Well, for Andy's buds at the store, it sure is. Although they think he's a bit of an oddball, there's certainly a planetful of stranger (and homelier) guys who've at least had one go at having a go. They consider it their duty to help Andy out of his dire situation and go to great lengths to help him.
This soundtrack is the key to the big score!
