"Raunchy dialogue and sexually explicit sequences overshadow the film's slight hint that factors other than sex might also be important in human relationships."  ReelTalk Movie Reviews  Betty Jo Tucker

3.5/5
"It's a collection of guy humor, no more and no less."  NutzWorld  Blake French

"The penis jokes become increasingly tedious."  Nitrate Online  Cynthia Fuchs

2/4
"Immature, predictable, and annoying."  DustinPutman.com  Dustin Putman

2.5/4
"The misunderstandings are all thankfully low on the "Three's Company" scale while Hartnett and Sossamon's chemistry is undeniably potent."  Slant Magazine  Ed Gonzalez

B-
"An entertaining sex farce."  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

1.5/4
"It’s just a shame that someone wasted their fluids creating a number of the people responsible for this absolute mess."  eFilmCritic.com  Erik Childress

C-
"40 Days and 40 Nights is raunchy, and graphic, and sometimes even funny, but its attitude makes it a difficult film to enjoy."  Film Blather  Eugene Novikov

F
"A remarkably sniggering, tawdry sex comedy...so gross and smutty that perhaps a trenchcoat should be required apparel for every audience member."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

2/4
"This is as stupid as movies come."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

2.5/4
"it is essentially a slightly more mature gross-out comedy"  Q Network Film Desk  James Kendrick

3/4
"Sex is the star here, and she shines."  Palo Alto Weekly  Jeanne Aufmuth

4/10
"Finds a way to present a light-hearted sexual comic fairy tale, then derails itself with bad romantic comedy fallbacks."  Window to the Movies  Jeffrey Chen

D
"A fairly perfunctory sex comedy, which is too bad because the premise is amusing."  Matinee Magazine  Jeremiah Kipp

4/10
"Wears out its welcome and ability to milk its premise long before its runtime is done."  Screen It!  Jim Judy

7/10
"It's obvious that director Michael Lehmann wanted to have a good time with this film, and I for one, enjoyed it on that level."  JoBlo's Movie Emporium  JoBlo

4/10
"The movie reminded me of a beer commercial during a football game, with about as much depth but not nearly the wit."  DVDTown.com  John J. Puccio

2/4
"Not the funniest film ever on this subject, but a nice statement and satire on relationships today."  MovieCrypt.com  Kevin A. Ranson

C+
"plays like a teen sex comedy filtered through the relative sophistication of urban twentysomething hi-tech workers"  Reeling Reviews  Laura Clifford

1.5/4
"A dulling experience. The movie screams been there, done that and offers nothing new to the table."  Mark Reviews Movies  Mark Dujsik

"A cheap movie, false and phony, that thinks it’s about moving beyond cheapness and phoniness."  Flick Filosopher  MaryAnn Johanson

3/4
"For all its outrageous humor, 40 Days and 40 Nights actually has something to say about the value of emotional intimacy over physical intimacy."  Aisle Seat  Mike McGranaghan

3/5
"This is a very raunchy and explicit comedy but it is all done with sweetness and even a certain humility that keeps it from being too disgusting."  Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies  Nell Minow

C+
"less than I had hoped for...but just about what I had expected."  Reeling Reviews  Robin Clifford

3/5
"There’s certainly a place for lightweight-yet-entertaining romantic piffle, and 40 Days and 40 Nights most assuredly qualifies as that."  eFilmCritic.com  Scott Weinberg

D
"Screenwriter Rob Perez knows as much about both self-discipline and Catholicism as I know about echocardiography."  Eclipse Magazine  Sean O'Connell

2.5/4
"It's dangerous stuff that shouldn't be dismissed lightly."  Film Freak Central  Walter Chaw
