The 40-Year-Old Virgin scores a clean 0/10 on wokeness by focusing purely on Andy's awkward journey from virginity to romance and the bonds of male friendship, with no identity politics or social agendas in sight.
The 40-Year-Old Virgin is a 2005 Judd Apatow-directed raunchy sex comedy centered on Andy Stitzer (Steve Carell), a shy 40-year-old electronics store employee whose co-workers (Paul Rudd, Romany Malco, Seth Rogen) discover his virginity and launch a crude mission to help him lose it, culminating in his romance with single mom Trish (Catherine Keener).
Its premise, plot, and humor revolve entirely around traditional male friendship, sexual inexperience, and romantic self-discovery without any framing of identity politics, systemic oppression, or critiques of traditional norms.
