...performance earned acclaim from critics and middle-schoolers alike, and the film grossed $150 million worldwide on a minimal budget. The reviews and receipts from Carell??s first big role coincided with critical plaudits for his portrayal of boss Michael Scott on NBC’s “The Office,” an adaptation of the BBC comedy of the same name...

The rest of the cast (including Christopher-Guest-troop member Jane Lynch as Carell??s boss) satisfies the loon quota. “Virgin” rarely fails—an alcoholic driving scene is the only real miss—and it catches itself when it does...
