I have to say, when I first ran across this movie on Encore one day I was not expecting much. In fact I only watched it because I'm a big fan of Lee ever since I saw Malrats... I just knew he was going to be big based on that movie, he was funny as heck.
"A Guy Thing" took me by surprise. It was fun, and funny, and had some really great moments. As far as "romantic comedies" goes it was good. It was not too romantic, but rather put a funny spin on weddings and getting married in general. The "relationships" were taken more lightly than most romantically based comedy types. And it was really all around a well done movie. The jokes were a good mix, some very subtle moments, and some other more obvious laughs, but in all it was entertaining the entire time.
Julia Stiles was quite surprising in a light comedy role. I had really only seen her be serious, or typical teen cliché in things I'd seen. She was never especially good or bad, just sort of there.... But in this movie, not only does she look as beautiful as I've ever seen her, she is pure and entertaining. Her knack for comedy is something I'd love to see more of, she was quite funny in this movie from her silly tiki dance, to her quirky timing.
Lee is his typically brilliant self. The guy is just so much more talented than people even know yet. His diversity always seems to amaze me. This character was a bit removed from most things I've seen him do. He was just such a typical every man, that you almost forget while watching him that this was not actually him and was in fact a character. But that is a sign of a great actor.
The supporting roles are all great as well.... from end to end, top to bottom the movie was just a lot of fun. And I expect nothing more from a comedy such as this.
