This film does a good job in adapting Dave Barry's satirical observations on the foibles of the male gender and creates a funny gem of an independent film. Although women would surely see the truth and humor in this film, men would also find it funny.John Cleese, Dave Barry, and Dan Marino all give memorable performances in this film.The tongue-in-cheek humor and the episodic skits are reminiscent of "Hollywood Shuffle."Those familiar with Barry's many books will find the handling of this film true to his brand of humor.

It was a great pleasure to sit along the shore of north Lake Tahoe and watch the only U.S. festival screening of DAVE BARRY'S GUIDE TO GUYS earlier this year at the Tahoe-Reno Film Festival. The pleasure was enhanced by the constant sound of laughter, snickers, giggles, and yes, some outright guffaws, from the opening scenes to the final credits. This is a good sign when watching a comedy, and the film did not disappoint. Written about guys for women the film captures the intricacies and foibles of being a guy and reveals them for the opposite sex. We predict G2G will become the date movie for anyone in a relationship!

Loved it! Laughed my head off!! Was lucky to sneak into the world premiere at Santa Barbara International Film Festival. Was booked out. Had me in stitches. Dave Barry is so cool. Anything he touches turns to gold. John Cleese's scenes cracked me up totally. It was a fast paced comedy and there was always something to laugh at for the more intelligent person. Is not mainstream or formula or basic humor for the bozo. Every word is brilliant and a must see. Will take you by surprise. The sound at the Arlington theater did not do the film justice as it was cranked through a P.A. system with dubious sound and everyone was talking about this issue. This apparently is always the case at the Arlington. Some people were struggling to hear. I was in a decent position near a speaker and I had the time of my life. Went home with sore abs from all the laughing.

Last night I watched the world premiere of this movie at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival. While it made me chuckle several times, it just didn't seem to be very cohesive. I tended to enjoy the bits set in the modern day versus the silly caveman scenes. Though I am a big fan of John Cleese, his scenes didn't do much for me in this movie. One my favorite bits was Dan Marino explaining proper urinal etiquette. I think that was one of problems, it was more just a collection of bits than a complete movie. Some of the scenes were tied together, but it didn't seem to flow very well. With a $17.50 ticket price for this 72 minute film, I didn't feel I got my money's worth.** (out of 4)
