Andy Stitzer has a pleasant life with a nice apartment and a job stamping invoices at an electronics store. But at age 40, there's one thing Andy hasn't done, and it's really bothering his sex-obsessed male co-workers: Andy is still a virgin. Determined to help Andy get laid, the guys make it their mission to de-virginize him. But it all seems hopeless until Andy meets small business owner Trish, a single mom.

If you loved The 40 Year-Old Virgin, the closest films we have are Trainwreck (2015), Ask Me If I'm Happy (2000) and Bridesmaids (2011). All three share The 40 Year-Old Virgin's witty and playful feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
