Reece Pendleton Chicago Reader 12/08/2008
There's something genuinely transgressive beneath the movie's rom-com surface, though director Howard Deutch keeps retreating to the safety of frat-boy humor. Go to Full Review
Josh Rosenblatt Austin Chronicle 10/18/2008
1.5/5
Any schmuck with a typewriter and a dirty mouth can test the limits of good taste; it's something else entirely to push the boundaries of narrative possibility and emotional empathy. Go to Full Review
Jim Schembri The Age (Australia) 10/10/2008
3.5/5
Dane Cook proves why he is one of American comedy's favourite big-time naughty boys in this fast, funny, foul-tongued but sweet-natured adult-skewed romantic comedy. Go to Full Review
Kaleem Aftab The National (UAE) 11/01/2018
Devoid of any heart, My Best Friend's Girl relies on schoolboy toilet humour to maintain interest. Go to Full Review

Inane, raunchy romantic comedy inspires no love. Go to Full Review

...ultimately falls prey to the melodramatic silliness that one has come to expect from the romantic comedy genre. Go to Full Review

Ian H Aug 5 Crass and vulgar, but I laughed a lot. See more Ed R @JustcallmeER Mar 22 Typical Dane Cook style of comedic performance. See more William L Feb 7 Turned it off after first 10 min-go ahead & see if it strikes your funny bone, if you make it past that & are entertained u r good to go See more 09/23/2022 Senza dubbio la commedia è divertente e da un certo punto di vista riesce anche ad appassionare per il finale non scontato. Il maggior pregio è sicuramente quello di riuscire a far ridere anche in quei momenti che solitamente sono talmente imbarazzanti da voler essere saltati velocemente. Alec Baldwin a piccole dosi fa sorridere solamente guardandolo. Meno interessanti alcuni aspetti e i dialoghi tra praticamente tutti personaggi. Si poteva trovare qualcosa di più originale nello sviluppo della trama. See more 02/01/2022 If you enjoy absolutely *anything* that happens in the first 5 minutes or even crack a smile, then please tell the rest of us your secret. See more 11/09/2021 ) I am usually a fan of more raunchy style comedies, I like Dane Cook and I love Kate Hudson. With that being said this movie is absolutely one of the worst movies I have ever seen! It is like it was written by a stoned 12-year-old boy. The characters are way too over the top to be real and not in a cool John Waters film way. The writing is awful, they go more for shock value unless for anything that is actually funny. I am shocked that Kate Hudson would do a movie this bad and it's probably one of those cases where it was in her contract that she was forced to do it I'd like to think anyways. I am also a fan of movies that are so bad they are good but this is not even one of those. It's just going for cheap laughs and not even in a fun Beavis and Butthead sort of style, just cheap and no laughs. See more Read all reviews
