Fairly gimmicky but entertaining fluffball.

It has a way of wearing out what's supposed to be knockabout farce.

...Funny, sexy and silly....Shaw sizzles....[The] song-dominated score is lively...

Rating: 2/4 --
You may feel like taking a vow of abstinence yourself -- at least from Hollywood youth-sex comedies.
Chicago Tribune
...40 DAYS AND 40 NIGHTS gets better as it goes along mostly because of Josh Hartnett, with his hurtin' James Dean stare, does something unexpectedly charming...
Entertainment Weekly
Lehmann and screenwriter Rob Perez milk this idea for everything it's worth.

In places 40 Days is actually quite witty but one can't help feeling that both Hartnett and Lehmann ... deserve better than this.

Product Description:
Matt (Josh Hartnett) is having a hard time moving on six months after his relationship with bombshell Nicole (Vinessa Shaw) ended. He finds himself involved in empty physical relationships that are unfulfilling and ultimately send him fleeing. His solution is to give up sex and anything sexual for the 40 days of Lent. Initially, Matt is empowered by his decision--until he meets stunning Erica (Shannyn Sossamon), the girl of his dreams, at the local laundromat. Erica doesn't know about Matt's vow of abstinence, which impacts their budding relationship. To complicate matters more, Matt's co-workers are determined to literally put their two cents in as well by establishing a betting pool about how long Matt can keep his vow. Hartnett is endearing as the clumsy Matt, who desperately wants to do the right thing. Griffin Dunne stars as Matt's sex-starved boss. Also starring Paulo Costanzo and Maggie Gyllenhaal, the film was produced by Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner, the team that made NOTTING HILL and BRIDGET JONES' DIARY, and directed by Michael Lehmann (HEATHERS). The city of San Francisco provides a beautiful backdrop to this modern look at love that includes a touch of crude teen-movie humor.
