Synopsis

Love conquers even the relentlessly foulmouthed Lothario played by master-class comic Dane Cook (GOOD LUCK CHUCK) in MY BEST FRIEND'S GIRL. Tank (Cook) moonlights as an 'emotional terrorist,' which means when a guy wants to keep a girl from dumping him, he hires Tank to intervene. Tank arranges an accidental meeting with the girl, charms her at first, then takes her through the worst date of her life, sending her running back to the safety of his client. Jason Biggs (AMERICAN PIE) is Dustin, the nerd who wants his best pal Tank to work his magic on Alexis (Kate Hudson), the stunning girl from work who 'just wants to be friends'. Dustin makes a big mistake, since Alexis herself is looking for the raunchy fling Tanks offers, and Tank suddenly finds himself in the position to betray Dustin's trust.

Taking a page from the book of Apatow (SUPERBAD, KNOCKED UP), director Howard Deutch (PRETTY IN PINK, SOME KIND OF WONDERFUL) director Howard Deutch and writer Jordan Cahan compensate both sides of the cup-holder armrest: amidst the frat boy-friendly shenanigans lurks girl-pleasing soap-opera hand-wringing as Tank faces tough romantic choices, and vice versa. Adding to the deal are some hilarious bits from Alec Baldwin--as Tank's 'feminist studies' professor father--and Lizzy Caplan, as Alexis' roommate. Mainly this is for the Cook fans out there, and they should be pleased by his general free-form display of loutishness.

4.0 out of 5 stars My Best Friends Girl, 18 July 2009

By	Mr. Paul A. Cleworth "Cleezy" (Luton) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: My Best Friend's Girl [Blu-ray] [2008] (Blu-ray)

What are these other guys on about? I thought that Dane Cook was a total legend in this film. If anything, Jason Biggs is the one who ruins the film with his loved up rubbish acting. Any bloke would find Kate Hudson attractive and I can't think of one film where Alec Baldwin isn't awesome....."Alec Balwin?....he's the best actor in the world!......Arec Bardwin (Team America)."

The start is probably the funniest bit, on the first date that Dane Cook goes on. Yes, it is probably best to be a little intoxicated first before viewing and not a chick flick at all. One for the guys if they are players. If you liked Wedding Crashers, you will like this.

2.0 out of 5 stars unfunny negativity, 15 Jan 2009

By	jrhartley - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

I was very disappointed by this film. It just trades on sarcasm, negativity, and largely witless lines. The only point when I did laugh out loud was the the 'you're a two bagger - meaning I have to wear a bag as well in case your bag breaks' line. That was funny. For a lot of the rest of the film I felt the writers had spent too much time scouring the urban dictionary or Roger's Profanosaurus to try to shoe-horn in obscenities and put-down lines of abuse without any real feeling that the dialogue properly integrated with the scene of the character.

The post-production is very much 'in yer face', aggressive cuts, sped-up clips, noisy numbered countdowns; the opening sequence is quite an unpleasant introduction to the film and its characters and frankly, after that, it never really succeeds in regaining the lost ground and getting the audience to rebuild any affinity with them.

Inevitably, it tries to come around to a sort of rom-com ending, but an attempt at 'alternative rom com'. The overall feeling you're left with is just not much, a hollow film, hollow characterisation, negative vibes, just wanting to get through it. If you're looking for something in a vaguely similar vein, but actually amusing and not leaving you feeling permeated by 'nastiness' - I would suggest SuperBad.

4.0 out of 5 stars With friends like these, who needs enemies..., 13 Jan 2009

By	Guitar Heroine "Music maestro" (Liverpool, England.) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

It was great to see Jason Biggs in a more mature role than I'd seen him in (American Pie being the only films I'd seen him in). Alec Baldwin is also great in a mysogynistic, male chauvinist pig role. It was also interesting to see different sides to a character (as played by Kate Hudson), and to see the roles reversed; her character plays someone who uses a man for nothing more than sexual gratification (to start with at least), as its usually men who do this and who are cast in such roles. When the man she is using as her plaything, who has been actually given the task of upsetting, disgusting and hurting her to the point where she runs screaming into the arms of her jilted fiance, eventually starts falling for her, as she does for him, a lot of truths come into the open.

There are a fair few comedic moments, interjecting the serious parts, and it's a very good film which I overlooked at the time of its initial release. It would appeal equally to a male and female audience and is clever without being too heavy.

The ending shows what a fine line there is between love and hate and is a very good twist because the moments leading up to the conclusion do not lead you to think that what happens is going to happen.
