Capsule Legacy

The 40 Year Old Virgin (2005)

It still holds up, hilarious and human. Comedy that actually cares about its characters, themes, and stories. Carell is phenomenal. But the criticisms are right, too: very male-centric, iffy on race and gay jokes, and longer than it needs to be.

Exceptionally Good (7/8)

Note: This capsule was published early in The Goods' history and is a candidate for a full length review in the future.
