40 Days and 40 Nights

Matt who heartbroken with his last relationship, knows at the same time that he is obsessed with his ex-girlfriend, Nicole. His obsession makes it impossible for him to have relationships with other women. Then comes Lent, the period of time where everybody gives up something so Matt tells his brother that he's going to have no sex for 40 days and 40 nights. No touching, no kissing, no fooling, no self-gratification. This of course with a momentum where, Erica the women of his dreams walks into his life. He is unable to explain his abstinence to her but she finds out by a site set up by Matt's co-workers who made a bet on him. Erica tries to forget about the stupid bet but realises the night they go out to a restaurant and meets by chance Matt's ex, that she can tell Matt's bet was all about his breakup with Nicole. This film has an unrealistic storyline as no such men will think about doing such sacrifice, and also this film does conclude for both Matt to fail his mission and his brother who is training to become a priest, giving up to temptation. What matters is the process for this guy to test himself his limits and the boundaries in all relationship, which makes it so sweet, like the time of touching versus the heart pounding time of sex appeal, which was so hilarious as a public to document on Josh Harnett. Fortunately, the women character who is visualised as more soft hearted will give another chance to this guy, or even maybe say recompenses him to have tried to fight and challenge his "male instincts". Nevertheless, a good passionate kiss is the best full stop for a romantic comedy.
