My Best Friend's Girl

Save your money and spend the hour and a half doing something else.

First off this movie is another guy comedy. Gah. Its just too much! They take everything to the extreme. The best friend is SUCH a jerk so of course HIS best friend must be the big loser who is just so extremely nice. And his niceness is just so creepy. And beneath the "BAD GUY/JERK" image is a caring and sensitive guy. Whatever. Worse line, albeit funny a woman talking to another woman in the bathroom tells her to not listen to the words of others or her own heart, but to listen to the lips of the "clam shell". And begins to mimic her 'nether lips' talking with her hands. and says " LISTEN TO ME." WHO DOES THAT? This movie is trash. Not even Alec Baldwin's cameo could save this film. I am so sick of Dane Cook. He is ugly and full of pock marks and not the least bit a 'ladies man' to pull this movie off. Crude. Slow. Predictable.F.
