This made for youngsters film has Matt (Josh Hartnett) giving up sex, and naughty thoughts about sex for lent. He's been dumped by his girlfriend (Vinessa Shaw) six months previously but has since developed a real problem.
When he's having sex with anyone else he imagines the ceiling cracking above his head. Sex isn't fun any more so he gives it up, but just for lent.
These sex romp comedies evolve, if that's the right word. These days they're increasingly profane and the latest thing is masturbation. What was no go area five years ago is so fashionable now it will soon become required. What will be the next fad? Celibacy?
It seems that in Matt's world the overwhelming topic is sex. When one of their number goes on the wagon it becomes a matter of honour to get Matt laid. They even start a book on it and of course put it up on the internet.
Then Matt meets a pretty girl (Shannyn Sossamon) who of course looks like the new best thing. She reckons he's interesting because he won't even kiss her. Is he gay? (They must sell a lot of contraceptives in these communities.)
Josh Hartnett has been doing war movies of late (Pearl Harbour, Black Hawk Down). He's pleasant in 40 Days and 40 Nights. So is Shannyn Sossamon).
Bagel Man (Michael C. Maronna) and Jerry (Griffin Dunne) get the best lines in a throw away comedy that will be of value to those wanting to ogle Josh Hartnett.
