My Best Friend's Girl

I have to admit that I will receive the Doomass Award this year. I watched this movie and near the end I was like, "How many more times are they going to play that song by The Cars??? Oh, then it hit me. The song is called, My Best Friend's Girl. Duh!

My Best Friend's Girl stars Dane Cook, the profanity-laden closet homosexual comedian as Tank, Kate Hudson, the real-life daughter of Goldie Hawn, as Alexis, the real-life Socialist Alex Baldwin as Professor Turner, the misogynistic father of Tank, and pussy-whipped boyfriend in American Pie Jason Biggs playing Dustin, the pussy-whipped want-to-be boyfriend in this movie.

The premise of the movie is simple. If you want to look like a better boyfriend, hire Tank to take out your girl (or ex-girl). He'll show her the worst time of her life and she'll realize how great she had it and she'll come back crawling on her knees to you. However, his newest assignment, Alexis, isn't so simple. The problem is he actually falls in love with her.

The movie is mostly a battle of profanity and put-downs, many of which are very funny. Kate Hudson prances around in her bra a lot in the movie showing you how small her boobies are - not that it's a horrible factor, but just something that I noticed.

Overall, the movie is somewhat funny. Dane Cook has perfected playing the likable spontaneous jerk and Kate Hudson surprises us with her witty spunkiness. Baldwin and Biggs, however, are no surprises.

The movie is rated R for profanity, sexual situations, profanity, crude humor, and profanity. I give this movie the average of 3 stars.
