  Gaming Illustrated - 40 Days and 40 Nights DVD review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
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.

 a simple yarn: 40 days & 40 nights
Forty days and forty nights ago (see 11 May post) I was staring at a pile of wool, hoping and praying that some burst of inspiration would transform this formless and void pile into a miraculous creation for the Guild exhibition at the Knitting and Stitching Show in Dublin...
40 days have passed and I am now looking at a blank piece of paper...well, not exactly blank...it's got little squares printed on it...graph paper, as it were.
40 days and 40 nights have come and gone and I breathe a sigh of relief to have gotten over the first obstacle in the creative process...

Morales and Huber were among the five men and five women selected as participants in one of the more peculiar concepts in the annals of reality TV, a program in which people of diverse backgrounds and faiths were sent to live this past winter in a monastery for 40 days.
They contributed as the monks would to the maintenance and upkeep of the 750-acre property and limited their outside contact to once-weekly e-mail sessions and a single weekly phone call.
Every day there was nothing new except the same thing over and over again.

 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 less 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.

 MacAddict Forums / 40 Days & 40 Nights - Who wants to join in?
I've already got one friend of mine to joining with me, the same one that didn't eat for 10 days straight (he's doing perfectly fine, it took him a few days to get his appetite fully back though), so he's really confident that he will make it.
During this 40 days, I plan to re-start my work out that I stopped awhile ago (I will continue this after the 40 days though), and have nothing more than a hug from any female, not even a kiss on the cheek, no self pleasure, etc.
I'm not familiar with the movie, and it isn't likely i'll be having sex in the next 40 days (at least with a partner), so that may work, but forget giving up hugs and cheek kisses.

 40 Days And 40 Nights - Movie Review
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.

Miramax may take a lot of flak for their aggressive approach in soliciting members of the Academy to consider their films for Oscar nominations, but I think it's safe to say that a world of film without Miramax would be a duller place indeed.
Not that its a piece of High Art Cinema by *any* stretch of the imagination, but 40 Days and 40 Nights is a good example of a film most Hollywood producers simply wouldn't take a flyer on, yet Miramax willingly stepped up to the table and bankrolled this potentially dicey flick.
