About "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" DVD

The year's most over-the-top, below-the-belt comedy, "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" comes to DVD December 13, 2005 in a new unrated version featuring over 17 additional minutes of wildly hilarious footage never shown in theaters. Bonus features include a waxing "documentary" that offers a four-camera behind-the-scenes look at Steve Carell's character, Andy Stitzer, having his chest waxed.

The film, which has earned over $100 million at the box office, stars Steve Carell ("Bruce Almighty," NBC's "The Office") as Andy Stitzer -- a sweet-natured but sexually inexperienced middle-aged man who, through the misguided efforts of his well-meaning co-workers, begins an unforgettable journey toward the goal of "getting lucky." Carell is joined by an outstanding ensemble cast including Catherine Keener ("The Interpreter"), Paul Rudd ("Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy"), Romany Malco ("The Tuxedo"), Seth Rogen ("Anchorman"), Elizabeth Banks ("Seabiscuit") and Leslie Mann ("Orange County").

Also available in the original R-rated edition, "The 40 Year-Old Virgin" DVDs are loaded with tons of sidesplitting bonus features including uproarious outtakes and deleted scenes. In stores just in time for holiday gift giving from Universal Studios Home Entertainment, all DVD and VHS versions are priced at $29.98.

About Burke Williams

The concept of the spa is centuries old. For hundreds of years different cultures from around the world have incorporated the benefits of the spa experience into their lives, not as a luxury, but rather a necessity. And though we have all, on occasion, longed for the rejuvenating benefits of the spa experience, it has until now, been only found in vacations destinations. Burke Williams has brought this concept out of the realm of the resort and into the heart of the city where each of us can benefit from a soothing, nurturing environment to ease the stress of our daily lives. Elegant, refined, luxurious and pampering with all of the amenities found in world-renowned resort spas, Burke Williams provides an oasis of tranquility.
