40 Days and 40 Nights

2002 · 94 min

A breezy, silly sex comedy that coasts on charm and awkward gags, easy to watch but rarely more than disposable.

Tagline: Easier said than done.
Overview: Matt Sullivan's last big relationship ended in disaster and ever since his heart's been aching and his commitment's been lacking. Then came Lent, that time of year when everybody gives something up. That's when Matt decides to go where no man's gone before and make a vow: No sex. Whatsoever. For 40 straight days. At first he has everything under control. That is until the woman of his dreams, Erica, walks into his life.
How it feels: Light, romantic, absurd and satirical. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Love, obsession, addiction, identity
Content: Strong sexual content. Mild language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
