I totally loved this movie. Yes, its "R". Yes, it has lots of graphic language. But it also has characters that behave like real people (and by that i mean real guys). Even the language is real- its all guys trying to out-gross each other. I loved it because during all the stupid things they do to/with each other you can feel the normal (unspoken) guyfriend sort of affection these people have for each other. Sure, there were a couple of times the premise and the jokes were a little thin, (i thought the whole scene with the drunk driver girl was pretty lame and really didn't do much to forward the plot) but even in these thin moments, Steve Carell does Andy with such a guileless blank stare that you don't seem to mind.
My favorite parts were:
- when EVERYONE at work finds out Andy is a virgin they give him hell and then he runs away like a 5yr old.
- when Andy and a pal hang out playing video games they swap "i knowyour gay 'cause.." lines.
- when one pal smacks and pokes and bugs another one into going over and talking to a girl.
And for everyone who is worried, there is not any sex in this movie at all until the very end- and its not very graphic and only lasts for aprox. 1 minute (joke!) - and then there is a big musical number with the whole cast.
So basically, if dirty language is alright with you, see this movie.
