Reviews


70
Variety - Joe Leydon
Manages to distract auds from the predictability of the plot with fusillades of profanely funny dialogue and some playfully sexy chemistry generated by Cook and Hudson.
60
The Hollywood Reporter - Frank Scheck
Eventually the conventions of romantic comedy take hold, with the humor declining precipitously.
50
Entertainment Weekly - Unnamed
The actors (especially Alec Baldwin, as Tank's horndog dad) elevate the material slightly, but such piffle will just fill you with longing...for a better movie.
50
The New York Times - Laura Kern
A date not entirely to be skipped. It's a movie tailor-made for those who think it's a turn-on to passionately kiss someone to whom they've just said, "I hate you."
38
ReelViews - James Berardinelli
My Best Friend's Girl isn't just a misfire; it's a misfire compounded by a chain of miscalculations, and it's hard to figure out who this could appeal to (except, perhaps, Dane Cook's fan club).
