40 Days & 40 Nights
A Film Review By Paul Perkins
A Funny Adult Comedy
Setting a goal is hard to do because there is always some
one trying to make you break your goal. In 40 Days & 40 Nights Matt Sullivan
(Josh Hartnett) he has just broken off a long term relationship with his girlfriend
Nicole (Vinessa Shaw) and he is very heartbroken about it and he can’t not stop
thinking about her.
He never completes anything he starts so in order to forget
about Nicole he does something he thought he would never here him say as well as
every guy in the world. He will have no sex for the time of Lent that is 40
Days and 40 Nights. Of no sex, no touching, no kissing, no foreplay, no
fooling around and no self-gratification. He works in an office designing
websites and his buddies begin to take bets as to how long he can abstain- girls
While all of this he meets the girl of his dreams name
Erica (Shannyn Sossamon) who is sexy and spirited and who drives Matt wild. Now with
everyone betting that
he can’t possibly finish what he’s started, he just tries to hold on
and is left hoping she’s willing to hold out.
40 Days & 40 Nights was much better than I
thought it would be. The story was very good and I like the basic idea of the film. It
is a
film that every guy can relate to. This film had a good meaning about
life and setting goals for your life.
The film did not drag at all. The film held my attention
from start to finish. The way the characters were shown and how one man was
willing to trying anything to succeed was the main premise of the film. The cast was very good Josh Hartnett did
a good job of playing the guy who takes the plunge. He made the role believable
and you could feel him to do his best. Shannyn Sossamon did a good job as well in
her second role in her film career her first film was "A Knight's
tale".
