40 Days and 40 Nights

In this romantic comedy directed by Michael Lehmann, Josh Hartnett stars as Matt Sullivan, a young man who embarks on a personal challenge to abstain from all forms of sexual activity for 40 days and 40 nights. This self-imposed celibacy comes after a painful breakup, but complications arise when he meets the woman of his dreams, played by Shannyn Sossamon. The film humorously explores themes of temptation and self-control, set against the backdrop of modern dating. While it didn’t receive any major awards, it remains a notable entry in early 2000s rom-coms. For those interested, the movie can be viewed for free on Soap2day.
