The 40-Year-Old-Virgin is an ode to early 2000s humor. On August 11th 2025, this movie will be turning 20 years old, and to say it started Judd Apatow’s career off with a bang (literally) is an understatement. This being his debut directorial film shows just how raunchy humor can get you far in this industry.
