While the title gives you the general sense of the story line the film is actually rather surprising and incredibly hilarious. Steve Carell (Bruce Almighty, Anchorman ... Soon to be in the film version of Get Smart) plays a guy whose actually probably more normal than most guys in Hollywood films; he doesn't think about sex every two seconds. Which to his co-workers and neighbors just seems odd that he's missed out on all kinds of sex-capades. The jokes are pretty non-stop and the ending is a combination of the expected and the total unexplainable. The film seemed to me to be a sort of counter-cultural view of sex in contemporary life, those who view sex as meaningful are the ones who have some semblance of the good life. If you are looking for a good comedy this summer, skip Wedding Crashers and see this instead.
