SPOILER ALERT!The first half of the movie is okay, the idea is fine but the ending is... I am shocked, the protagonist is clearly raped by his ex- girlfriend but in the movie it is shown as okay, RAPE IS NEVER OK! If it was the other way around and a man had sex with his ex-girlfriend while she was asleep and tied to a bed; he would be called a rapist and send to jail or the movie would never had been made because it says that rape is OK. The movie doesn't even discuss the issue, it is taken for granted that what happened was OK or legal, and he has to apologize for being raped afterwords. This movie shows how a man can be raped by a woman but say that it is no big deal. Another thing is, the movie goes too far with the protagonist's abstinences, suddenly there is naked women and boobs everywhere it is just too much and too vulgar. I apologize for typos, etc.

Romantic comedies are not usually what I prefer to watch, but "40 Days and 40 Nights" would be an exception. This movie is not your traditional romantic comedy. While most scenes were hilarious, the plot of the movie was beyond what you would expect. A goofy romantic comedy is what everyone needs once in a while, and "40 Days and 40 Nights" is by far the best romantic comedy that I have ever watched in my life.The cast for this film was beyond excellence. Josh Hartnett is the kind of person you would expect to be in a horror film or action thriller, but this movie showed that he is also magnificent at comedy. Shannyn Sossoman was also the perfect person to play in this movie, as Josh Hartnett's co-star. The supporting cast was also a bunch of comedians, bringing this movie to life."40 Days and 40 Nights" was one of the best romantic comedies I have seen, and it will remain so for many years to come.

The only good thing really I can say about 40 Days and 40 Nights is the soundtrack, especially the use of Recondita Armonia(from Tosca) performed the wonderful Jussi Bjorling. The rest though is a mess. The scenery is decent, but the editing could have been much tighter and the photography more fluid. Josh Hartnett and Shannon Sossaman are charming to look at, but they are rather awkward and never are believable together. It's not their fault though, they struggled with a flat predictable story, a bad smutty script, uneven pacing and especially shallow characters. What spoilt this movie the most was the ending, which is the most terrible and most insulting ending I've seen in a long time. In conclusion, an awful movie. 1/10 Bethany Cox

This film has a very basic but very funny story line. Simply guy gets dumped, has lots of sex but freaks out every time, decides abstinence is the answer, meets girl of his dreams, struggles for the time, fails because his ex-girlfriend is a complete bitch and ultimately realises he should have give up in the first place to get the girl he wanted. There are quite a few good laughs from this and the ways his colleagues try to make him fail are legendary. How the hell do they get over $15,000 worth of bets. Overall the film was funny and easy to follow and I rate it at 8 out of 10. Every person who slates this film must be blind and death. A basic and funny film is what was needed and that is what it is.
