Synopsis
After being brutally dumped by his knockout ex-girlfriend, Matt (Josh Hartnett) 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.
REVIEWS:
----------------------------------------
"Mildly amusing but wholly unnecessary comedy" (Elvis Mitchell: The New York Times)
----------------------------------------
"40 Days and 40 Nights does observe the plot conventions of a standard comedy (...) but the details are fresh and writer Rob Perez's dialogue about sex has more complexity and nuance than we expect. (...) Rating: *** (out of four)." (Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times)
