Steve Carell has significantly evolved from his portrayal of the mild-mannered, socially awkward Andy Stitzer in The 40-Year-Old Virgin. Following a successful tenure on The Office, Carell has broadened his acting repertoire by embracing a diverse array of roles in both film and television. Most recently, he has captivated audiences in Mountainhead, a film that showcases his remarkable versatility as an actor. Our critic, Alex Maidy, praised Mountainhead in his review, stating, “Mountainhead demonstrates that Jesse Armstrong’s unique style of social critique remains as incisive as ever, reminiscent of his work on Veep, Succession, and Black Mirror. If he delves deeper into this narrative style, Mountainhead proves capable of sustaining a feature-length format without losing momentum. While I wished the story could have embraced a darker, more brutal tone, it effectively exemplifies how satire can serve as both entertainment and a critique of contemporary society. Featuring four outstanding performances, including a remarkable turn from Cory Michael Smith, Mountainhead is yet another triumph for HBO and arguably one of the most chilling non-horror films of the year.”
This year marks the 20th anniversary of Carell’s breakout film, The 40-Year-Old Virgin (Can you believe it has been two decades?!). To celebrate this milestone, Universal Pictures Home Entertainment has announced the release of a new 4K Blu-ray edition. This UHD remaster of the beloved comedy, which stars a stellar cast including Steve Carell, Catherine Keener, Paul Rudd, Romany Malco, and Seth Rogen, is slated to be available in stores starting on August 12. Fans of the film can now relive the comedic moments that made it a classic in stunning detail.
The official description of the film reads,
“Andy Stitzer (played by Steve Carell) has reached the age of 40 without ever having intimate relations. His friends embark on a comical mission to help him find love quickly! Can he endure their hilariously misguided advice? Will he end up with someone overly experienced or perhaps too inebriated? Or could true love blossom unexpectedly with a captivating grandmother (played by Catherine Keener)? Featuring both the Unrated and Theatrical versions, The 40-Year-Old Virgin on Blu-ray Hi-Def ensures the fun lasts forever! Don’t miss the chance to own this iconic comedy on 4K Blu-ray for the very first time.”
