Sure to be a hit with teens and 20-somethings, 40 Days and 40 Nights, while no great masterpiece, is nevertheless funny and worth the price of a bargain matinee.

Fairly gimmicky but entertaining fluffball.

| Original Score: B | Dec 29, 2015

Translates your average bad teen comedy into a below-average adult romantic comedy.

| Original Score: 1/5 | May 27, 2013

Mildly amusing Josh Hartnett sex comedy.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 26, 2010

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 30, 2006

A large part of the film's appeal stems from watching Pearl Harbor pin-up Josh Hartnett shed his usual grave demeanor in favor of bawdy comedy and an earnest grin.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Nov 9, 2006

Lehmann and screenwriter Rob Perez milk this idea for everything it's worth.

| May 26, 2006

This tedious romantic romp is based on a single idea--a hunk (Josh Hartnet) abstaining from sex for the duration of Lent--extended to the limits of a feature-length picture.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Feb 3, 2006

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 6, 2005

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Dec 6, 2005

Even by the relatively relaxed standards of teen sex, or no sex, farces, 40 Days and 40 Nights is painful to watch.

Full Review | Original Score: D | Jan 7, 2005

They could have easily made yet another gross-out comedy, but instead the laughs are born of clever writing and likable characters.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 7, 2004

Finds a way to present a light-hearted sexual comic fairy tale, then derails itself with bad romantic comedy fallbacks.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Jun 8, 2003

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 10, 2003

This movie was about the most excruciating hour and a half I've endured recently.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Feb 8, 2003

| Original Score: B | Dec 17, 2002

This film would've been a lot funnier if the filmmaker's had shown the slightest bit of imagination in terms of the plot's comic possibilities.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Dec 8, 2002

A reasonably intelligent adult comedy.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 8, 2002

It's a collection of guy humor, no more and no less.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Nov 12, 2002

In places 40 Days is actually quite witty but one can't help feeling that both Hartnett and Lehmann ... deserve better than this.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 4, 2002
