...first experienced "40 Days and 40 Nights" on the big screen back in 2002, I absolutely loved it and thought it was hilarious. Maybe this was due to the then cinematic trend for juvenile, teen sex comedies such as "American Pie" or maybe it was because I was just very juvenile.

I'm not really a fan of Josh Hartnett but he gives the most convincing and least annoying performance in the film and it's just ... Read review
