My Best Friend's Girl

My Best Friend's Girl. A movie that I really really wanted to hate based on one fact, Dane Cook is in it. I should utterly hate everything this guy is in, but...there are a few movies that slip through the cracks.


Dane Cook is usually not funny. And honestly, in most of this movie, he's not funny, he's just an asshole. Being an asshole works for Dane Cook. He plays the role of Tank, a guy people hire to take their ex-es out on dates and show them exactly how much of an asshole he can be.


He's good at it. Jason Biggs plays the lovable loser who you think at the beginning is going to be the main character, but really, he's just there because...well, he needs the job. As much as we used to love Jason Biggs, his career has sadly fallen short of what used to be.


Kate Hudson is, as always, adorable.


How often is it that we come across a girl that we think is the ONE and unfortunately tell her too early, causing her to run away? Sure, it's more cliche when you see a woman do it to a man, but let's face it. Men sometimes think the overly romantic moves are actually the moves that work.


Let's face it. If they do work, then yay. Most of the time they don't. But when they do, and, speaking from experience, they do on occasion, cherish it. Live in the moment. Be cheesy.


Course, there's also the other end. We think we're king of the worlds and that all women are our playthings. And then BAM, out of nowhere, love hits. Love.


What a confusing subject, yet so many people can make movies based on the concept of it.

    So true. Gone are the days when he would be famous for moshing the apple pie.
