Andy Stitzer (Steve Carell, “The Office” & Despicable Me Franchise) has gone 40 years without “doing it.” Now his pals are making it their mission to help him score…fast! Can he survive their hilariously bad advice? Will he land in the arms of the way-too-experienced or the way-too-drunk?

Co-starring Paul Rudd (Ant-Man & I Love you, Man), Seth Rogen (“The Studio” & This is the End), Jane Lynch (“Only Murders in the Building” & “Glee”), Elizabeth Banks (The Hunger Games Franchise & Pitch Perfect Series) and Leslie Mann (Knocked Up & This is 40), THE 40-YEAR-OLD VIRGIN is director Judd Apatow’s feature film debut.
