I never saw "Forty Year Old Virgin" with Steve Carell, but I've seen the trailers. However, on a long flight with help-yourself movies, I watched 2 contrasting movies: "Man on a Ledge" and "Crazy Stupid Love," the latter of which starred Steve Carell and, again, needs "help."

What's the deal? Why is he often cast as a geek?

Maybe he does the role of a geek best.

Sort of like how Patrick Warburton is always cast as the strong muscular guys on Animation series. Those are the roles he does best.

Not sure. But save yourself the disappointment and don't see 40 Year Old Virgin.

I agree. Steve is funny and has great screen presence. Sort of a goofy, Average guy who finds himself in hilarious situations in his films.

I don't want to see it. Does he get laid in the end? I only saw "Crazy Stupid Love" because it was on the tv monitor in front of me on the plane. I even saw "Planet of the Apes" on the way back. It was under classics.

Steve Carell has kind of a goofy face and a really long nose. I guess if you accessorize him correctly, you can make him into a geek, no?

He did in the end but the whole movie was so stupid and slow. Hated it.
