My Best Friend's Girl

It's a comedy movie, and I'm not particularly crazy about comedy movies, but the whole idea of the movie is pretty funny.

Synopsis

Tank (Dane Cook) is put to the ultimate friendship test when his best friend Dustin (Jason Biggs) hires him to take his ex-girlfriend Alexis (Kate Hudson) on a lousy date just to show her how great her former boyfriend is. When Alexis finds Tank more fascinating she decides that she wants Tank, and wants to take him to a wedding instead of Dustin. Dustin tries to become more like Tank in an attempt to get Alexis back. In the meantime, Tank is trying to make Alexis like Dustin again, but Dustin is trying to mess up the wedding and ruin Tank's and Alexis's relationship at the same time.

Humour: 2 Stars

The comedy in this movie wasn't super-clever, but not bad for a no-brainer night out.

Storyline: 3 Stars

Nothing special about the storyline as such, but a new and interesting form of story telling.

Acting: 2 Stars

Quite a versatile cast, though no outstanding performances.

Music: 3 Stars

Pretty simple music throughout, though I thought the decision to use Johnny Cash's "The Man Comes Around" near the end of the movie was worth the bonus star, as it blended in wonderfully with the current tone of the movie...

Conclusion

I suppose the big question is whether I'd be ever wanting to watch it again... Well I'm afraid it may just lose on that point, but I wouldn't disuade you from using it as a good no-brainer laugh-out-load excuse for a good night out at the movies! [if any of that made sense :D]

How To Lose Friends And Alienate People

I love Kirsten Dunst, and that's my ultimate basis for watching this movie! I was satisfied and I'm sure other Kirsten Dunst fans will be too!

How To Lose Friends And Alienate people was never meant to be intellectual, it is a comedy movie through and through, and as that it excels!

Sidney Young is a English guy who all his life wanted to get close with the movie stars. But his problem was that he would do loads of things that are not at all what should be done in public, and he never seemed to be able to make friends! But when he got a call to go and work in a popular celebrity magazine, his life seemed to take on a completely new slant!

I found this movie extremely funny as it tickled my sense of humor as a guy interested in celebrities and movies in general. There a so many funny bit where the main guy does something really stupid in public.

It is a movie about etiquette, social hierarchy, and most of all, humour.

I found the movie very entertaining, and most of my regular readers will probably tell you that I don't usually like comedy movies, but perhaps the addition of Kirsten Dunst might have helped...

Movie Rating: 8.5/10

PS. The title of the movie is pretty acurate :)
