Unfortunately, the sweet little plot of this movie was lost in the constant explicit language and some of the "over the top" displays by Cane's character to prove he was bad boyfriend material. I am not easily offended by language but I do think the overuse of particular words and gestures will limit the appeal to certain audiences. There is; however, a sweet little love story in there but likely only those who can get past the language will be able to find it. Scan and preview before you invite someone over to watch it with you ...

Well, now I haven't seen a film that shocked me as much as this film in a long time. Dane Cook is at his best when he is going completely over the top in this extremely raunchy romantic comedy. In fact Hudson, Biggs and Baldwin also seem to be having a ball in this sweet film full of crude humor, nudity and inspiring romance.....ohhhhh ain't that sweet?! I really liked this one and I think I will like it even more after repeat viewings. The unrated edition has an excellent transfer and some hilarious extra stuff!

You're going to either love this movie or hate it. I find Dane Cook's humor smart and creative, therefore I appreciate this movie. The premise is very funny and the dialogue is also fun and well thought out. Two thumbs up from me.

I for one thought this movie was funny, it kept me laughing and wanting to see more. i don't understand why people would just turn the movie off i mean might aswell give it a chance cause i do think it's a good movie. Far too many people judging this movie on Dane Cooks comedy..And for all the people offended by the movie all i say to them is: It's Dane in there go figure there's going to be crude humor involved.

I would say great movie and i'm glad i saw it.

This movie is LOL funny. Dane Cook portrays a guy who is paid by other guys to go out with their girlfriends. Cook is so obnoxious and crude, the girls go home and call the former boyfriends and make up with them because Cook makes them look good compared to him. His best friend hires him to take out his girl (Hudson) and hilarity ensues, but Cook finds she can hang with his crudeness, thus sparking his interest.I happen to think Dane Cook is hilarious. He and Kate Hudson had great chemistry. I watched this twice, back to back and loved it even more the second time because I caught more of the humor. Sure it's crude, but it comes with that warning. if you don't like crude and lewd skip this one.

Normally I would have to make the statement that I'm not a Dane Cook fan. Normally. But... having watched this film, and a few others that Cook has been in (Good Luck Chuck and Employee of the Month come to mind), I think I may have to soften that stance and admit that occassionally I actually do find Dane Cook to be, well, funny.

Cook's stand-up comedy is not funny to me, at least not regularly so. I know he has fans, but I just don't care for his style and delivery and find his humor to be lacking in anything that would make me laugh.

Take Cook and put him in the appropriate starring role though and I find myself laughing along with the crude humor (as in Good Luck Chuck and Employee of the Month), which is precisely the forumla that the team behind My Best Friend's Girl has gone for.

Cook plays a character that proudly carries the a--hole tag as a badge of honor. He works by referral to serve as a complete a--hole that takes a--hole to a whole new level. I won't spoil the gags and bits, but if you watch the film you'll see how it all plays out and you too would recognize that Cook's character is intentionally behaving as an a--hole just so we can inspire the women that would be girlfriends or significant others for the guys that are paying for his services to run crying back into the arms of those guys. After one horrible date with Cook the ladies he chooses to go out with typically call up their boyfriends and apologize profusely for having chased away those boyfriends somehow. Basically Cook's character makes those women appreciate the guys that paid him to work on their behalf.

The title of the film is My Best Friend's Girl so you know that somehow Cook will wind up with his best friend's girl. Sure enough his overly sensitive best friend (American Pie's Jason Biggs) is hung up on one girl in particular that happens to be played by Kate Hudson. When you have a resource such as Cook at your disposal and you are faced with the thought of being a creepy stalker or watching the girl you think you love go search for someone else, of course you convince your friend to work his magic for you. Except, well, that magic doesn't seem to work as expected and Cook and Hudson may just wind up as more than friends.

Cook definitely generates several laughs with his boorish and crude behavior along the way. When he's 'in character' as an a--hole he goes all out with somewhat hilarious results. Toss in the quirks of Biggs' character, and a small part that is played incredibly well by Alec Baldwin and you have a pretty funny, although crude, film.

The picture quality is quite nice along the way, and the soundtrack is laden with several current tunes to enjoy, and also a bit of music to date by (you'll see what I mean if you watch) when Cook picks up his dates. If you are going to watch this film, definitely go for the un-rated version for the extra laughs.

As noted, the Blu-ray version comes with Digital Copy as a bonus.

This is an awesome romantic comedy that keeps you laughing out loud! I love Kate Hudson! I love her MaMa, Goldie too! Could be a little offensive to some people but hilarious, none the less! It's certainly worth a watch!

Not everyone will enjoy this movie.It is raunchy,crude humor at its best (or worst,as it might be).Dane Cook plays "Tank" -the date from Hell.He hires himself out to recently dumped men to date their Ex-es.The theory is that the women will run back into their ex-boyfriend's arms after dating the obnoxious,rude Tank.And Tank is good at his job-until he actually falls for his cousin's ex.(Kate Hudson).Among all this debauchery there is actually a love story-but this isn't really a 'date movie'.Unless your boyfriend or girlfriend has a good sense of humor and isn't easily offended.Myself? I laughed out loud throughout,,,,,,,,,,,,

such a good tale of a guy who wants to help out a friend but ends out finding himself. i usually dont like tales that end in a guy finding his love but this one was one i just couldnt pass up.

i did not like baldwin in this movie though, i think they could have found a more suited actor.

It was a really good romantic comedy; lots of laughs and even a lesson or two along the way. I was really surprised by the negative reviews for this film, professional critics taking themselves or the film too seriously perhaps??? ;-)
