If The 40 Year-Old Virgin hit the spot, these will too

Same director's raunchy crew turns tender once real feelings show up
The difference: Swaps his shy virginity plot for her boozy fear of settling down


Same big-hearted, overlong comedy where the mess is the whole point
The difference: Female friendship in crisis, not a man's overdue first time

Warm, funny courtship that treats falling in love as the whole plot
The difference: Bollywood musical scale and a years-later reunion, no coworker gags

A casual arrangement that can't stay casual once feelings creep in
The difference: Starts already in bed together, no fumbling toward a first time

Both land wit and play at once

A guy-friend pact against commitment that falls apart from real affection
The difference: Younger, glossier cast with none of Apatow's shaggy generosity

Same director revisiting the same cast years further into messy adulthood
The difference: No courtship here, just a marriage buckling under its own weight

A late-in-life romance built on an elaborate, well-meaning lie
The difference: Swaps the virgin premise for a fake-ex-wife scheme gone sideways

A guileless everyman charms his way past a cynical world closing in
The difference: Fortune and tabloids replace sex jokes as the source of chaos

The same mix in both: romance, then warmth
The difference: The critics' underdog of the pair

A late bloomer's crush collides with the world of adult film
The difference: Trades ensemble warmth for a single, more sincere teen romance
