Synopsis: Matt Sullivan's last big relationship ended in disaster and ever since his heart's been aching and his commitment's been lacking. Then came Lent, that time of year when everybody gives something up. That's when Matt, a guy who's never been able to finish anything, decides to go where no man's gone before and make a vow: No sex. Whatsoever for 40 straight days. No touching. No kissing. No foreplay. No fooling around. No self-gratification. No nothing. At first he has everything under control. That is until the woman of his dreams, Erica, walks into his life. Sexy and spirited, Erica drives Matt wild. Now, with everyone betting he won't finish what he started, he's just trying to hold on, and hoping she's willing to hold out...

After a huge success with Oscar winning award movies like Pearl Harbor & Black Hawk Down, such amazing action and drama movies, Josh Hartnett came to the big screen with this romantic comedy... 40 Days and 40 Nights. I actually enjoyed the first time I watched this movie, I remember I went with a bunch of co-workers had some good laughs and good time watching this movie. I believe that being with all my friends helped it to be a good time and movie. It was a fun movie, but it was one of those movies that promotes their best scenes on their trailers. So, I felt I just laughed over those scenes that I already knew and watched few times before on its promotional trailers. I liked Shannyn Sossamon in this movie. She looked like a great promise as a sweetheart and romantic actress, after being part of great movies like A Knight's Tale and The Rules of Attraction. I don't know what's happened, but I haven't seen her again in good movies and roles. Josh Hartnett is a good actor, but honestly, I see him playing good action, drama movies, since the plot of this movie was funny, but a little cheesy for my taste.
What did I like from this movie?
1. One of the funny parts in this movie was the whole bets and gambling situation about the abstinence commitment.
2. It was kinda funny that his brother was the priest who should give him some advise, but at the end, he falls into temptation because of his brother's stories.
3. The romantic part was ok. I mean, the whole "save yourself for the right one" and showing you that you can actually have a healthy love relationship before marriage without the need of sex.
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. Let's be honest... we all know that we men love women, but this whole "desperate for sex" situation is not as it seems in this movie.
2. As said before, I couldn't see Josh Hartnett as a comedy actor, but as a drama or action kinda movie actor.
I would rate this movie with a 3/5
