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).

Reviews for My Best Friend's Girl
Top CriticA nauseating fraud from start to finish ... The film's level of awfulness is nothing new for Cook, but Hudson hits a new low.
09/21/08
It attempts to go all warm and fuzzy. It succeeds. But it is the warm and fuzzy stuff that grows on a compost heap after a heavy rain
09/20/08
An ugly, strictly-for-meatheads comedy that can only be recommended to couples who wear matching Tie Domi Toronto Maple Leafs jerseys out on a date.
09/22/08
Top CriticMean, crass and tasteless, "My Best Friend's Girl" is only pretending to be a romantic comedy.
09/27/08
Golden Girl Kate Hudson gets tarnished by associating with Dane Cook in this tasteless, terrible movie
09/23/08
A rude, crude romantic comedy with a touch of nastiness that's refreshing and quite funny.
10/10/08
Want to spend a seemingly endless 100 minutes watching a dullard trying to decide between a douchebag and a eunuch? Then run, don't walk, to My Best Friend's Girl, a supremely irritating movie about idiots and their dull quest for unconvincing love
09/19/08
You should steer well clear of the nasty ideas that screenwriter Jordan Cahan has about relationships and how they work.
10/10/08
'There's this guy, Tank, and other guys hire him to give their exes "emotional terrorism." It's a romantic comedy.''Can you throw in a cheap anti-Catholic and anti-Semitic joke? And have Tank tell some kids how to pull a brutal sexaul trick on a woman?'
10/09/08
The movie spends a lot of time trying to be cute, vulgar and cutely vulgar. But it forgets about character, plot and believability.
09/19/08
Top CriticIf you like watching anarchy in action, this exhibition has its moments, but the anti-woman humour underpinning it -- and Cook's whole performance -- does cast a pall.
10/10/08
Yet another in a continuing line of dismal Dane Cook so-called romantic comedies.
11/20/08
Induces that dull pain at the back of the head that I believe to be the result of brain cells crawling away to die of embarrassment.
09/24/08
My Best Friend's Girl ultimately fails to measure up to its own standards.
09/21/08
It's coarse and funny, but there's something really endearing about this twisted romantic comedy in which the protagonist excels at being a self-proclaimed emotional terrorist
10/04/08
It works much better as a comedy, but by the end, the romantic aspect has taken over and there's not much humor to be found after the first half.
10/08/08
There are no surprises here, but speedy pacing and a smattering of laughs along the way, as well as a knowing turn by Alec Baldwin as Tank’s even more piggish father, make My Best Friend’s Girl a date not entirely to be skipped.
09/22/08
Top CriticThe 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.
09/19/08
Top CriticAn insulting, wholly unpleasant excuse for a comedy.
