Back To Index 40 Days and 40 Nights
 Barnes & Noble Potentially unsavory material is deftly handled in this hip, youth-oriented comedy starring up-and-comer Josh Hartnett as a weary lothario who swears off sex for Lent. Hartnett does a great job of eliciting sympathy for a character whose behavior has bordered on smarmy. Matt is a charming, handsome yuppie genuinely pained by his failure to sustain meaningful relationships with women. Temporarily tired of "playing the game," he vows to avoid romantic entanglements for 40 days, but neither his perpetually horny roommate (Paulo Costanzo) nor his clergyman brother (Adam Trese) believes Matt can stay celibate. Neither do his co-workers, who organize a web site pool to pick the day hell fall off the wagon. Screen newcomer Shannyn Sossamon registers strongly as the adorable girl Matt meets in a laundromat and who represents his greatest source of temptation. Director Michael Lehmann (The Truth About Cats and Dogs) and screenwriter Robert Perez poke good-natured fun at the overactive libidos and Byzantine courtship rituals of young American males. In keeping with contemporary cultural trends, sexual conduct is discussed casually and significantly demystified by being targeted for ridicule as the plot demands. Bright, breezy, and deliciously irreverent, 40 Days and 40 Nights is just the ticket for home viewers whod like to spice up an evening with some (not too) naughty fun.
