Who are you going to believe me‚ or your lying eyes?’" claims Richard Pryor in Henry Louis Gates’ Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Black Man (247). This statement emphasizes the difficulties of "double-consciousness" in American society today (Du Bois 615). The image of self is a complex mix of the way in which individuals evaluate themselves and the views that society maintains for each person. This confusing "double-consciousness" forces individuals to decide which perspective is correct‚ their own

The 40 Year Old Virgin is proof that comedies can still be funny. Sadly‚ movies like this‚ with a kind of consistent humor‚ come out too rarely. Yes‚ it’s a little long‚ almost two hours‚ but there are plenty of laughs throughout the movie‚ especially in the last 30 minutes‚ and they also save one of the best jokes for last.
