A man trying to save his relationship with the woman he loves finds himself sinking into a quicksand of small lies and half-truths in this comedy. Paul (Jason Lee) is a regular guy who is engaged to marry Karen (Selma Blair); while Paul loves Karen, he's more than a bit nervous around her family, even though her father (James Brolin) has already given him a job in the family business. Shortly before the wedding, Paul's friends throw him a bachelor party, complete with a boatload of liquor and a

If you ever admired Julia Stiles, Selma Blair and Jason Lee -- and who didn't? -- don't watch them crush their careers in this laugh-free romantic comedy from the director of Snow Day.
The three move through a faded deck of clichés ... with a convincing impression of having fun, helped along by a snazzy '60s-'70s soundtrack and bit-part fillips.
Here's a rule of thumb: If the coincidences in your movie have longer odds than Carrot Top perfecting cold fusion, you might be straining the old believability factor.
It takes a truly awful motion picture to nullify the considerable appeal of Lee, Stiles, and Blair, but A Guy Thing has what it takes.
[Tries] desperately to lower the bar for scatological gags, rank sexual humor and cheap physical shots.
A bale of romantic fluff that is a lot funnier than it has any right to be.
Cycles through the same old cliches, like squares accidentally being dosed with drugs, overzealous pharmacists blaring out sensitive medical information (nothing like a good ol' venereal disease joke), and climactically scotched weddings. [Blu-ray]
Lame, crude descendent of Meet the Parents.
Would feel a lot emptier without the lively actors populating it.
I can't imagine this painfully unfunny and often boring movie being a 'thing' for guys or gals.
a notch below Meet the Parents
Julia Stiles provides the one shining light in an otherwise dull, unfunny, cringe-inducing comedy caper.
every bumbling mishap along the way to the aisle- the sudden public attacks of diarrhea, the psychotic ex-boyfriend, about a hundred other stale gags - is straight out of the campus-howler how-to book
A date movie - but only if your other option is a documentary on plates.
Forgetable and not that great! Got bored throughout the film!
