40 DAYS AND 40 NIGHTS (2002)
I finally got around to seeing 40 Days And 40 Nights and I must say I was a little disappointed. Now don't get me wrong, it was a good movie, but I expected more. But it's not the movies fault, my expectations were just set too high.
Josh Hartnett was charming as usual and did a good job of carrying a movie by himself. He's a really good and underrated actor. Shannyn Sossamon had her moments and did a decent job of acting. I didn't have a problem with her, but I did with her character. What I thought was really stupid was that her character, Erica, was always getting mad at Matt (Josh Hartnett) for the stupidest reasons. It was like this, they'd be together, then she'd get mad at him for something stupid, they'd be together, and she'd get mad again, they'd be together, and then she'd get mad, etc. It was a little sickening. It was like "Damn girl, get a life." I can just imagine their future together.
Other than that though I don't really have any complaints about the movie. It was funny and sweet and overall entertaining. Plus it had a lot of hotties in it. I do find it a little hard to believe though that the computer place he worked at wouldn't have a single ugly girl working there. But oh well, I didn't mind. I don't regret seeing it and I recommend it. See it in the theater if you want, there's nothing better to see out right now anyway. But it wouldn't hurt to wait for video either. I'll probably buy the DVD when it comes out. Hopefully it's a good DVD.
Grade: 7/10
