Cebalord Very best movie i ever watch
Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.
GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
simone-531-422472 SPOILER ALERT!The first half of the movie is okay, the idea is fine but the ending is... I am shocked, the protagonist is clearly raped by his ex- girlfriend but in the movie it is shown as okay, RAPE IS NEVER OK! If it was the other way around and a man had sex with his ex-girlfriend while she was asleep and tied to a bed; he would be called a rapist and send to jail or the movie would never had been made because it says that rape is OK. The movie doesn't even discuss the issue, it is taken for granted that what happened was OK or legal, and he has to apologize for being raped afterwords. This movie shows how a man can be raped by a woman but say that it is no big deal. Another thing is, the movie goes too far with the protagonist's abstinences, suddenly there is naked women and boobs everywhere it is just too much and too vulgar. I apologize for typos, etc.
thebrenman Romantic comedies are not usually what I prefer to watch, but "40 Days and 40 Nights" would be an exception. This movie is not your traditional romantic comedy. While most scenes were hilarious, the plot of the movie was beyond what you would expect. A goofy romantic comedy is what everyone needs once in a while, and "40 Days and 40 Nights" is by far the best romantic comedy that I have ever watched in my life.The cast for this film was beyond excellence. Josh Hartnett is the kind of person you would expect to be in a horror film or action thriller, but this movie showed that he is also magnificent at comedy. Shannyn Sossoman was also the perfect person to play in this movie, as Josh Hartnett's co-star. The supporting cast was also a bunch of comedians, bringing this movie to life."40 Days and 40 Nights" was one of the best romantic comedies I have seen, and it will remain so for many years to come.
Floated2 40 days and 40 nights is a pretty basic plot wise film, and that could be the problem with the film. The premise is simple and pretty good but with how the film turned out, it was somewhat a disappointment. The film had more potential but many things such as the humour, jokes and character development were bad. The humour was basically Josh Hartnett's friend and the co-workers, and they weren't funny- rather annoying, while the jokes were all sex related. And the characters were severely underdeveloped. Especially Josh's and Shannyn's characters. Josh's character (Matt) barely spoke and we didn't really know much about him. Same with Shannyn (Erika), not enough detail to actually care a lot about. Though they were the most likable characters. Everyone else was either annoying or clichéd. It seemed that his roommate- friend wasn't really that great of a friend. He started the vow and set it up on the web for his co-workers and the world to see. Also him, along with his co-workers (males and females) all placed bets to see if Matt could survive. I thought that was rather childish.If not for the presence and chemistry between the leads, the film would have been yet another awful or at least run of the mill sex comedy. As it stands, however, it's still not very good, as it's lacking enough smarts, sophistication and/or novelty to stand out from the crowd. Although it thankfully doesn't feel as long as its title, the film wears out its welcome and ability to milk its premise long before its runtime is done. The ending was not pleasing and left the audiences feeling a little turned off.
Saskia 40 days and 40 nights is not a masterpiece. That has to be stated first. It's very shallow, filled with smut and a bad script. But I enjoyed it anyway. This is mainly because Josh Hartnett and Shannyn Sossamon had very good chemistry and it was fun to watch them together. The way they interact at the laundromat and on their first is just so natural and sweet that it nearly melted my heart. Next to that there were some mildly funny jokes. Not 'rolling-over-the-floor-laughing' but entertaining enough to put a smile on your lips. It's a movie to watch when you have a gigantic bucket of ice cream and you're in the mood for mindless entertainment. If you're the type of person who's afraid his/her I.Q points will drop drastically when watching this, avoid avoid avoid. For the rest of you, watch and be entertained.
