Why watch this? ... for the laughs! Enjoy Lynch, Carrell, Rogan and Rudd slay it up.

Plot Summary: Andy, an electronics store stock supervisor, is a friendly but shy individual who hasn't yet experienced a romantic relationship. When his coworkers discover he's a forty-year-old virgin, they decide to help him with his romantic life. This leads to humorous and awkward attempts as Andy navigates the dating world and eventually meets a single mother named Trish who sparks his interest.

Dad's Preview: For as crass, brash and crude as it is, this movie still somehow manages to remain really sweet.  It helps that Carrell perfectly portrays a man who nerds grows up to be. It is hilarious watching him function in society and try to "fit in" with his fellow co-workers at Smart Tech. Jane Lynch is notably funny as his prowling cougar boss. What did I learn? - Never get your chest hair waxed!
