If this movie had been released 3 years ago, it would've been as big as American Pie and started the teen gross-out film phase. But, since we're used to seeing things some might consider offensive, it didn't even cross my mind. American Pie was a movie I thought was ok. It didn't stick with me in any way and I can't remember laughing hysterically at any one scene, but in 40 Days, I was laughing every other minute. Josh Hartnett really proved himself in this movie and it was nice to see him in a light-hearted film rather than the war dramas he's been doing. He and Shannyn Sossamon also had a great chemistry, one I haven't seen him share with any other actress in his films. Although I could've done without the huge number of topless women, I liked this movie. It was funny and original, a nice change from the cheesy teen comedies we're flooded with, but not targeted only at teens.

Brotherly Love was a show that innocently taunted the dramas of being a teenager and played with the idea that two co-workers would come to realize their love for each other. It was funny, honest, and had an excellent cast (especially Liz Vassey as Lou Davis and Michael McShane as Lloyd Burwell.) Cancelling such a great show was a mistake and I look forward to the weekend to see reruns.
