Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
After being brutally dumped by his knockout ex-girlfriend, Matt (Josh Hartnett, Pearl Harbor) is so torn up inside that he vows to give up sexual activity--including masturbation--for Lent. His friends and coworkers start betting on how soon he'll crack. Their skepticism is given fuel when Matt meets Erica (Shannyn Sossamon, A Knight's Tale) at a laundromat. They're immediately smitten with each other, but Matt struggles to stay true to his vow, even though it threatens to founder his potential relationship with Erica. Based on this description, you might think that 40 Days and 40 Nights is religious educational video--however, the barrage of sex gags and frequent nudity would quickly dispel this notion. Almost nothing in this movie remotely resembles human behavior. Some movies are so deeply stupid that they're depressing to watch; this is one of them. --Bret Fetzer

Description
An outrageously sexy comedy starring Josh Hartnett (PEARL HARBOR, BLACK HAWK DOWN) and Shannyn Sossamon (A KNIGHT'S TALE), 40 DAYS AND 40 NIGHTS is another hilarious hit from the producers of NOTTING HILL and BRIDGET JONES'S DIARY. On the heels of a disastrous breakup and a string of unfulfilling romantic conquests, Matt Sullivan (Hartnett) yearns to become a better, more complete person. In the midst of his despair, he chooses to test himself by making a vow of no sex whatsoever for 40 days and 40 nights! With everyone betting he won't finish ... and a seductive new girl in his life (Sossamon) ... it's all Matt can do to just hold on! Fun, fresh, and wildly entertaining -- you'll agree with critics everywhere who found this sexy comedy adventure totally irresistible!

Pretty Good.......2007-06-04
Some people might like it. Some might not. What I think, in my own opinion, is that it's pretty funny and usually, celibacy isn't really for the faint of heart. It's great that they tried to put two and two together and sometimes it seems like it's a little inappropriate, but then again, its an R rated movie so nothing really inappropriate. I liked how they had made love with out REALLY making love. That was cute. Overall, it was a great movie.
dumb teenage movie.......2007-01-27
Matt Sullivan (Josh Hartnett) has just been dumped by his girlfriend, and after a succession of one night stands and various liaisons he is no further in forgetting the girl he has put on a very very high pedestal. In an attempt to rid himself of her memories, he decides that celibacy is the answer and vows to give up sex and girls for lent.
This is a task that his flatmate and work colleagues believe is far beyond Matt and even go so far as to set up a betting web-site tracking his progress. Can Matt resist the pleasures of the skin for 40 days and 40 nights, and can the beautiful girl at the laundrette help him?
The one plus point was that Josh Hartnett and Shannyn Sossamon did play together quite well, and the romantic interludes did work more or less. Shannyn Sossamon's character, Erica, was the one beacon of light in the film and all credit for her for at least putting in one performance of merit.
The rest of the film just wasn't funny enough. Because in fact premise of the film was based around one joke the film couldn't divert from this and as such became simply limp and boring.
In the Navy...........2006-11-21
This plot been around for along time, it's called marrage. It's also the theme of the navy: 180 days/180 nights!
Truly sad.......2006-07-31
...how dumb movies can get. Then again, maybe I was stupid to expect a spark of intelligence in this film. Just to give you fair warning, Matt (the main character) is the only mildly pleasant person in this entire film. Matt decides to get rid of sex for Lent because of a bad break-up. In his endeavor, he proves to be a rather bumbly but sweet guy who is sadly surrounded by horrid jerks who mess up his life. Most of the film involves Matt trying desperately to keep his vow of chastity and/or his horrid male friends trying to either get him to break it or checking up on him by running flashlights over his bed in an attempt to find semen; no joke! Not only are his friends hormone induced morons, but nosier than middle-school girls to boot! One of them even thought it would be funny to make his vow public, which led to a whole new series of taunting. Since this film is full of dumb-male stereotypes, I rather wish they had added the one that portrays guys as automatically violent when they're angry, because Matt's friends deserved to have their empty skulls bashed in (they irritated me a bit, can you tell?) However, as bad as most of the guys in this film are, the girls aren't any better. Apparently the filmmakers decided to fit bad stereotypes for both sexes in the story, because all the girls were soulless harpies who manipulated Matt and never got what they deserved. First, there's Nicole, the one who dumped Matt. When she hears of his vow, she decides she wants him back, refuses to take no for an answer, then rapes him (yes, rapes him) later in the film when he's handcuffed to a bed and asleep. Nice girl, isn't she? Matt's new love interest, Erica, is not much better. Throughout the film, she yells at him and throws tantrums like a five-year-old for no good reason. First, she gets mad because he didn't tell her the instant he met her about his vow for Lent. She pulled up all kinds of dishonesty bull and claimed that he had wronged her. Why, because he hadn't revealed his personal business to her the minute they met? They weren't even a couple yet! Rather than realizing that she's a guy's worst nightmare and running for the hills, he spends the whole film tripping over himself to please her. Her dumbest moment was later in the film when she didn't believe that his ex had taken advantage of him. You'd think the fact that he was handcuffed to a bed and struggling to get free would've tipped her off! Again, he's the one who apologizes; why not just put her on her broom and send her back where she came from? Normally I'm not this scathing in my reviews, but this film is the lowest of the low in intelligence and very high in crudeness. Not recommended
Funny but somewhat of a tired concept.......2006-05-23
Ok I admit I watched this only because it was set in San Francisco. The premise is good but I really doubt anyone could be that heartbroken that they won't give someone else a chance for an extended period of time. Physical comedy aside the formula is great for the late teens/early 20's set but it fails to have a clear message other than make celibacy one big joke. the acting isn't bad but the story doesn't transition past much else other than cheap jokes.
