	Movies - 40 Days and 40 Nights

40 Days and 40 Nights is a teen-comedy film that was directed by Michael Lehmann and written by Rob Perez in 2002. The film depicts the life of Matt Sullivan, played by Josh Hartnett, who swears off sex for forty days.

Tagline: One man is about to do the unthinkable. No sex. Whatsoever. For... 40 Days and 40 Nights.

Plot

Matt is heartbroken over his ex-girlfriend who is recently engaged. One-night stands and empty passion doesn't fill his broken heart over his ex-girlfriend though. He then comes up with a plan to stop any sexual activity for Lent - for 40 days and 40 nights. His friends and co-workers are working against him, and he meets a woman he's interested in, Erica, at a laundromaut which builds up his frustration and the chaos that surrounds his idea.

Controversy

This plotline stirred controversy between Miramax and the Catholic League, which claimed the film parodied Lent in a vulgar way. The League is also known for protesting other Miramax films such as the 1994 film Priest and Dogma in 1999. Dogma was later released by Lions Gate Films.
