  40 Days To A Better Self
But as the days passed, I began to understand the power of prayer as a means of self-transformation.
Day in and day out, I was forced to examine the areas in which I needed to grow before I could truly be considered ready for marriage.
I was not aware of the 40 days part but we must have prayed there almost every day for over a month each evening.

  40 Days and 40 Nights: Cinephiles Movie Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
40 Days and 40 Nights, a comedy which brings to the foreground the notion of sex as an almost avoidable aspect of life, focuses on a heartbroken young man who tries to overcome his recent disillusionment by steering away from everything that is sexual.
40 Days and 40 Nights bluntly addresses the topic of sex through its comic portrayals of the male character's sexual misadventures (such as Matt's awkward attempts to satisfy a sexually aggressive female), and through less laughable scenes that focus on Matt and Erica's manner of treating his celibacy.
All in all, 40 Days and 40 Nights creates a rapport with its young viewers by first affronting them with its crude treatment of sex and then entertaining them with a silly plot that is designed first to embarrass its male character and ultimately to gratify him.

 40 Days and 40 Nights - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
40 Days and 40 Nights is a comedy film that was directed by Michael Lehmann and written by Rob Perez in 2002.
His friends and co-workers are betting against him, and he meets a woman to whom he is attracted, Erica (Shannyn Sossamon), at a laundromat which further builds up his frustration and the chaos that surrounds his idea.
In the meantime, he manages well in the first few days of celibacy, but as the further days which follow, he is tempted further and further to violate his vow both naturally and artificially (by his friends and co-workers).

The 40 Days of Purpose Campaign is an exciting spiritual growth campaign that is designed to teach the five purposes that God has for our lives by using four key strategies:
All of the sermons in 40 Days of Purpose are designed to encourage people to become “doers of the Word, not hearers only”.
This “faith factor” is what takes 40 Days of Purpose out of the realm of “What we’ve always done” or “What we think we could do” and instead expects God to do something that’s never been done before in your church.

 40 DAYS AND 40 NIGHTS. A Hollywood Jesus Movie Review

 LENT - The 40 days of Weeping for Tammuz
Moses on Sinai for 40 days: Exo 24:18, 34:28, Deu 9:9-11.
So according to Catholics, Lent is derived from the 40 days Jesus spent fasting in the wilderness, but it is admitted that the observance of Lent was unknown to the disciples and it did not find its way into the church until several centuries after the time of Christ.
It should be noted that the 40 days of fasting in the wilderness preceded the earthly ministry of Jesus, which lasted some three and a half years, and was not connected in any way to His crucifixion or the Passover.

 40 Days and 40 Nights
Though destined to be consigned to the dustbin of adolescent scatology farce, 40 Days and 40 Nights sits balanced on the strange junction between two of Hollywood's more interesting and disparate formula trends: the masturbation shuck and the spirituality jive.
40 Days and 40 Nights features no fewer than four separate conversations that confirm the "boys will be boys" worldview, and carries through on the sticky conceit of male as sexual victim by having its pivotal moment hinge on a man getting raped.
Note the number of times Matt is literally led around by his erection: it is the quintessential feminist revenge fantasy in that it not only gives this man the dream of a harem, but renders him unable to take advantage of it.

 SPLICEDwire | "40 Days and 40 Nights" review (2002) Michael Lehmann, Josh Hartnett, Shannyn Sossamon
Misleadingly marketed as just another misogynistic romp through the young male libido, this often ribald comedy about a frustrated 20-something giving up sex for Lent is what the puerile, simplistic "American Pie," "Tomcats" and "Saving Silverman" might have been, had they been made by people with imagination and wit.
A pair of sexpot secretaries at the big, hip dot-com (was this movie written before 2001 or what?) bet on a particular day for Matt to snap, then corner him in a supply room and try to make an offer he can't refuse while Xeroxing body parts as souvenirs.
"40 Days" is burdened with an overabundance of stock supporting characters, conspicuously tweaked to seem less conventional.

 The Popkorn Junkie :: 40 Days and 40 Nights
Upon seeing the first trailer, I immediately formed the assumption that "40 Days and 40 Nights" would be just another stupid semi-teen romantic comedy, along the lines of "Down to You".
Of course, I did have my reservations, the slight hope that it might transcend the stereotypes and actually be worth watching, this opinion based solely on the vigorous ad campaign for the film, one that was started almost a half a year ago, making this film long awaited.

Josh Hartnett of Black Hawk Down fame was definitely the highlight of the acting of 40 Days and 40 Nights.
The acting of 40 Days and 40 Nights is lighthearted and not intended to "move" anyone, but it helps move the story along and doesn't distract you away from the ambiance of the movie.
40 Days and 40 Nights is worth your $4.50 at Blockbuster if you are interested in getting a movie with your girlfriend/boyfriend and like to share sexual humor together.
