Audience Member this whole romance story is entirely dedicated to formula you do have likeable leads though its got a light, sweet, sour taste and isnt too cruel they actually do have a cool twist going on here the music is pretty soft too giving 'My Girlfriend's Boyfriend' a warm, fuzzy tone just dont expect anything new or groundbreaking here it'll make you feel good after thankfully Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/21/24 Full Review danielle r I recommend this to everyone who likes romcoms. I found it totally original and very sweet, and I never saw the end coming. PS- apparently if you don't watch it to the end you'll hate Alyssa's character. I promise if you see it though, it will all make sense. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Charming quirky rom-com. Lovingly photographed and an above average script. Definitely a passion project but one with decent production values. Definitely worth 90 minutes of your time. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Spoiler Alert: This movie is not about a girl dating two men at the same time. The movie begins with Ethan meeting his publisher who counsels him to write something realist but infuse a better beau into story: someone successful, charming, good looking -- unlike him (in her opinion). Next, he meets Jesse who tells him to write a story about a boy walking into a cafe meeting the most amazing woman. He also takes her advise. Notice how similar Ethan and Troy are to one another, only Troy is supposedly the one whose "made it". Also notice, you never see Troy meet any of Jesse's family but you do see Ethan meet her family. That is because, her relationship with Troy isn't real. It's the story he is writing that is a beefed up parallel to real life. The only real timeline is Jesse and Ethan. You may have had a difficult time picking that up, because he didn't change Jesse in the story because she's "perfect" and Troy was Ethan's idea of a more successful, interesting, charming version of himself. In conclusion, Jesse wasn't dating two men. She was only dating Ethan and she broke up with him because she couldn't have kids and due to her divorce, she thought either it would be a deal breaker or he would stay with her and give up on having kids and neither option was appealing. Like I've said, this is a very clever movie and if you're only skimming the surface of the movie, it's easy to see a girl dating two guys, professing her love to both with one waiting to get his heart broken. But really, its more about the power of love to inspire us to be our bravest and best selves for ourselves and those we love. I can't over estimate the refreshingly surprised I was to enjoy it as much as I did. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I'm frustrated. I don't understand how a film like "My Girlfriend's Boyfriend" gets made. I can understand how the vision of a film can get lost in the editing process, but how can a film be so misguided from the very start. I can't imagine the crew members on the set of this film thinking anything other than "these are the most emotionless characters that I have ever seen" as the cameras were rolling. I have seen Lifetime Original Movies with better acting. I've even seen midafternoon Nickelodeon comedies with every cast member under the age of 16 that has better acting. Christopher Gorham's soft-spoken tone of voice wreaks of a sensitive used car salesman and makes any attempt by Alyssa Milano to create chemistry feel awkward. It doesn't help that the script is completely mundane. Not in a Richard Linklater real-life-unfolding-in-front-of-your-eyes sort of way, but in a why-am-I-watching-this-unemotional-dialogue sort of way. The entire film feels painfully overacted and it is no surprise that it received a pay-per-view release instead of a theatrical one. It latches onto the classic cliché of a girl trying to choose between a successful ad executive vs. a family-oriented struggling writer, though you will understand why in the end. In an effort to incorporate some comedy into the film, they create a random tangent with a character appearing in a gum commercial but it has ABSOLUTELY NO BEARING on the plot! The experience of watching this film is painful... and then it throws in one of the most incredible twists that I've ever seen in a romantic comedy. This is one of the highest quality chick flick concepts that I have ever seen, but the dialogue and acting are so average that it will never be appreciated for its underlying genius. I want to tell you to watch "My Girlfriend's Boyfriend" to experience its inventive ending, or even just to laugh at how bad the acting is; unfortunately, any attempt to endure this film will result in an unending frustration with its relentless monotony. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Bubble gum romantic fluff… with a twist. Amusing but no Oscar contender.
