qormi This film is insulting to anyone's intelligence. Its gross, crass humor was not funny because it was completely unbelievable. Here are but a few examples. -I don't know whether or not the Jewish guys that run Hollywood have a secret hatred against Christians that comes out in their movies, but it's one explanation for the Jesus-bashing that is recurrent in many comedies. If they had done the same to Allah, they would no doubt put their lives in jeopardy. At one point, Tank and a girl go to a pizzeria called "Cheezus Crust". A huge mural of he Last Supper is on the wall, with Jesus and the Apostles eating pizza. The pizza is served in the shape of a large cross, covered with toppings. Tank has a card where he gets a discount for the times he's eaten at this establishment. The card depicts ten images of Jesus's palm and each visit earns a hole punch in the palm, like a nail in the palm when crucified - get it? -Kate Hudson's character is a complete tramp. Why Biggs' character is in love with a girl who constantly has sex with a human sex toy is not believable. Alec Baldwin plays Tank's dad, a college professor who teaches a women's studies class. Naturally, all the college girls swoon over Baldwin's character and vie for the opportunity to have sex with him. I can see this happening in 1990, when Baldwin was a stud. Back then, girls would no doubt line up around the block to be with him. But look at Baldwin circa 2008. His puffy, squinty-eyed face ad flabby physique resembles absolutely nothing of the young Baldwin. This 50-something guy would repulse any college coed.Then, there's the scene where Tank misbehaves himself at a wedding reception. People tolerate his presence as he does at least ten things that would have (a) gotten him immediately ejected (b) caused him to be severely beaten, or (c) had him arrested. He takes the bride and groom figures off the top of the wedding cake and uses them as a spoon to scrape chunk after chunk of cake and slurp it down. He describes the act of backdoor sex to a table of nine-year-old boys. He tells a filthy joke to a priest and a rabbi. He walks up to the bride and groom as they dance solo on the dance floor, tries to cut in, and vomits four times. Everybody just lets him. He sits down and tells a 50 year old woman that she must have been a great slice of **** pie in her day. Then, he stands up, drops his pants and underwear; exposing himself, and demands oral sex from her.This movie could have been funny. Biggs is a funny guy, famous for gross-out movies that are actually funny. This one, however, isn't.
Floated2 I normally dislike Dane Cook's acting and portrayal of characters in his films but this film was different. His character was pretty funny and this role seemed perfect for him to play. He actually had some good jokes in this, specifically the montage of flashbacks shown with him at the wedding. Unlike Employee of the Month, he was able to be more crude and himself and it turned out to be quite funny. The movie wasn't all that great but it was somewhat surprising and entertaining for the most part. Specifically the beginning and last 40 minutes. It sort of drags in the middle (when Alec Baldwin's obnoxious character is brought in). The film was also not that predictable at the ending and I feel the ending was pretty good, it didn't seem rushed and it can be considered expecting.Though there are many jokes that fall flat in the film and some that don't make much sense. The plot was rather simple but it was interesting. It is somewhat the opposite of "Hitch", and the plot at the beginning felt a little weird and stupid how his friend (Jason Biggs) would trust Dane Cook (Tank) with his girl (Kate Hudson), but in all it wasn't that far-fetched and unrealistic. The film has some raunchy type humour but it works kinda well in this, like some funny one-line jokes and inside jokes included phrases on Tank's shirt. The film isn't for everyone and its clear. Dane Cook made this film turn out to be better than it probably should have been, he stole the show. Hilarious performance.
jdmommyjd This was one of the best comedies I have ever seen. I literally had beverage spewing out of my mouth. Those who didn't like it? Well they must be more the conservative prudish type. Was it a little raunchy? yes. But thats partly what made it so funny. When you are thinking "o no he didn't" you then see "o yes he did". Dane cook is absolutely friggen hilarious! And anyone who knows dane cook knows his comedy style. So you get what you are expecting. No, you get better! I didn't see this at the movies- it was a rental. And glad I didn't because the laughter would have drowned out the movie! But, it would ahev been worth it. Maybe I just have a dirty/nasty sense of humor, but i have recommended this movie to all my friends and family.
Jerique I am not a Dane Cook hater, but I'm not a Dane Cook-in-movies lover. At least, I wasn't before this movie. I've seen Waiting..., I've seen Employee Of the Month, but I didn't think Dane Cook was something to be hold.Dane Cook's portrayal in those movies was sub-par and he was only delivering lines, emotionless. However, in My Best Friend's Girl, Dane Cook is master of his craft.This film is funny without being laughable. I chuckled twice, but it's not because the jokes were unfunny, it's because the movie had more of a romance feel to it, than a romantic comedy.I enjoyed watching the antics of Dane Cook, but more so, I enjoyed watching the showing of Dane Cook's ability to act. He took me by surprise because I didn't expect to like his character at all, but I not only liked it, but I loved the character, even when he was completely hated by everyone. I hated the character as much as I loved it. Dane Cook's portrayal was better than ever.I've rarely enjoyed a comedy with Kate Hudson as a star and I can really only remember Jason Biggs from American Pie, but they both stood out as different in this one. They were both completely on their game and out of their regular element. It was enjoyful.This is a film that was funny without it being hysterical. It didn't have to make me laugh out loud every thirty seconds for the entire duration for me to like it.I would recommend it for people who are able to see it. I'm unsure of what the theatrical version entails, but the unrated is not for the faint of heart. It's vulgar, tasteless, offensive and not recommended for anyone under 18. To all other audiences, give it a chance and I guarantee you will not be disappointed.
