Catherine Keener and Steve Carell in Universal Pictures' The 40-Year-Old Virgin - 2005

Virgin Coming To DVD

The 40-Year-Old Virgin is coming to DVD and VHS December 13, 2005 in a rated and un-rated version featuring more than 17 additional minutes of footage filmed specifically for the DVD and not shown in theaters. The film, which has earned more than $100 million at the box office, stars Steve Carell (Bruce Almighty, NBC's "The Office") as Andy Stitzer - a sweet-natured but middle-aged virgin who, through the well-meaning but misguided efforts of his co-workers, begins an unforgettable journey toward the goal of "getting lucky." The film features an outstanding ensemble cast including Catherine Keener (The Interpreter), Paul Rudd (Anchorman), Romany Malco (The Tuxedo), Seth Rogen (Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy), Elizabeth Banks (Seabiscuit) and Leslie Mann (Orange County). Both versions of the DVD offer bonus features including outtakes and deleted scenes. The DVD is priced at $29.98.

The 40-Year-Old Virgin marks the feature directorial debut of Emmy award-winning producer-writer Judd Apatow, who produced the hit comedies Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy and Kicking & Screaming. Apatow is perhaps best recognized for his work on television shows including "Freaks & Geeks", "The Larry Sanders Show," and "The Ben Stiller Show."

Synopsis

Andy Stitzer (Steve Carell) is an amiable, middle-aged, retail employee with strong geek tendencies and a total lack of experience with the opposite sex. He's relatively unbothered by his chaste status, but it's a topic of great interest to his co-workers at the Big-Box electronics store where he works. They have big plans for Andy, and he begrudgingly joins their wildly funny plot to rescue him from his four-decade dry spell. Just when it seems like a lost cause, the unexpected happens: Andy falls in love...with a single mom (Catherine Keener) who has a "no sex" dating policy.
