40 Tage und 40 Nächte (2002)

40 Tage und 40 Nächte: Directed by Michael Lehmann. With Josh Hartnett, Shannyn Sossamon, Paulo Costanzo, Adam Trese. After a brutal break-up, a young man vows to stay celibate during the forty days of Lent, but finds the girl of his dreams and is unable to do anything about it.

“I just didnu0026#39;t enjoy the premise of this film. There were some amusing scenes but too often I groaned at the antics of the cardboard characters in this film. I think the primary purpose of this film was to establish Josh Hartnett as a romantic leading man. I think he can be a great one but hopefully he will get to work with better material than this in the future. He is a superb actor as evidenced by his work in Black Hawk Down, u0026quot;O,u0026quot; and even the critically dogged Pearl Harbor. Nevertheless, for my tastes, this film rates a 5 out of 10.”
