    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      For the scene in which Dane Cook grabs and squeezes Kate Hudson's butt, a "stunt butt" was used.
    • Goofs
      When the first of Dustin's eyebrows is shaved off, it is clear that he has prosthetic makeup over the area, as the ridge of that eyebrow is suddenly quite a bit lower than the ridge with the remaining brow.
    • Quotes

      Ami: If "ifs" and "buts" were cocks and nuts, I'd be getting gang banged right now.

    • Alternate versions
      For the UK cinema release, the distributor wanted to remove 1 minute and 7 seconds of footage to make it containable at the '15' certificate instead of an uncut '18'. As a result, in this version we do not see a man's head between the buttocks of a lap-dancer, nor do we hear a man telling an adult joke to children nor a crude and explicit monologue about a sexual experience. One aggressive use of very strong language was also deleted.

    Seriously tasteless
    This film is about a man who saves other people's relationships by giving a lousy date. His job is severely tested when he has to date his best friend's girl.

    "My Best Friend's Girl" could have been a good film, but it just went all wrong. The plot is lousy and predictable, which kills off all my interest in the film. There is too much negativity and no fun in the film, making "My Best Friend's Girl" a chaotic mess of negative interactions. All the nastiness is disgusting instead of humorous. Kate Hudson and Dane Cook are not convincing either. And the feminist studies father is so hypocritical that he is tasteless. Seriously, the scriptwriter has very dubious taste and humour. It is a big waste of time.
