Josh Hartnett - the fresh-faced young chap who snogged Kate Beckinsale while the American Pacific Fleet sunk to the bottom of Pearl Harbor - tries his hand at romantic comedy. He plays Matt Sullivan, a single twenty-something web designer who has just suffered a devastating break-up with dream girl. The solution comes (unwittingly) from his Catholic seminarian brother, and Matt hits upon the cure that he won't have sex for Lent. That means that for 40 days and nights there'll be no touching, no kissing, no foreplay, no fooling around, no self-gratification. No nothing.

From beer to maternity... A one-night stand leads to nine months of fear and self-loathing for work-shy stoner Ben (40 Year Old Virgin’s Seth Rogen) and hot TV presenter Alison (Grey’s Anatomy star Katherine Heigl). Every character delivers something special in Virgin creator Judd Apatow’s uproariously frank gynaecomedy.

Number one...but how? It's an underwhelming tale of a dull Hellenic girl who ends up marrying her handsome (non-Greek) prince in a movie that's more a Greek tragedy than a triumph. When drab-turned-delectable Toulah (Nia Vardalos) ties the knot with handsome teacher Ian (John Corbett) it's - as tradition has it - the happiest day of her life. Unfortunately, for the rest of us it's not all champagne and roses but huge sighs of relief that she's got it over with and we can get back to what we were doing. Inexplicably a hit in America, this is a lame culture clash comedy that does little more than follow Toulah's uneventful romance from start to finish.<\/p>","url":"2008/11/7/My-Big-Fat-Greek-Wedding-1.jpg","width":570,"height":364,"alt":"My Big Fat Greek Wedding"}];
