The 4,000-Year-Old Joke

I saw The 40-Year-Old Virgin last night. Using the "I'll pay a buck a laugh" criterion, the movie succeeded. By the buck-a-joke criterion, Regal Theaters owes me $9. One joke, and it ran over two hours! A truly priapic film.

And despite the paragraphs upon paragraphs I've seen written about it, I'm not sure it was anything more than half Steve Martin's The Lonely Guy, half Office Space, with a sprinkling of There's Something About Mary and a heaping side of Mr. Roper "tinkerbell" humor. Eh.
