My Best Friend's Girl (2008)

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!

The best parts of this movie consist of very vulgar and crude conversations. Do not watch this for the love story because it is generic and boring. If you want to laugh at an over the top, well written, down right vulgar script, then watch this. It is worth it. But definitely do not get this if you are looking for a light romantic comedy. There is nothing wrong with a romantic comedy, you will just be disappointed in this movie.

If you don't know who Dane Cook is or like cocky comedy, then why would you watch this?? It is rated "R" and there is no pretense that anything delicate or sensitive is in the offing. That said, this is an exellent comedy for those who love bold, brassy love stories. Re-watch "Gone With the Wind"... see any green flags around Rhett or Scarletts relationship styles? I hope not-the dishonesty in alot of classic romances is a turnoff to anyone actually dating... the genuine male-female dynamic is one of tension and testing. George Cloonys' characters often exel at this type of banter. If you liked "Wedding Crashers" you might like MBFG... if you loved "Old School" then put this on your queue now. --Warning-spoilers aheadThe movie "Someone Like You" is actually a girly version of the same premise, that a strong, funny woman looks for a bad boy for thrills and a nice guy for stability... but doubts that she will ever find the whole packageso our hero is really a sex buddyand then realizes that he's a player getting played...(I guess "Boomerang" and "Whipped" were like this, too.) The fact is, all the girls I know love to be teased...hard. The main caveats are: 1-tease as a sign of abundance, not anger. 2-tease her in proportion to her confidence. No withering zingers on shy people. Vince Vaughn and Dane Cook do it right!

Fine supporting work by Alec Baldwin, Lizzy Caplan, and Riki Lindhome.
