Variety | Joe LeydonAdd Critic to Favorites

Manages to distract auds from the predictability of the plot with fusillades of profanely funny dialogue and some playfully sexy chemistry generated by Cook and Hudson.Read the full review

The Hollywood Reporter | Frank ScheckAdd Critic to Favorites

Eventually the conventions of romantic comedy take hold, with the humor declining precipitously.Read the full review

The New York Times | Laura KernAdd Critic to Favorites

A date not entirely to be skipped. It's a movie tailor-made for those who think it's a turn-on to passionately kiss someone to whom they've just said, "I hate you."Read the full review

Entertainment Weekly | Gregory KirschlingAdd Critic to Favorites

The 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.Read the full review

ReelViews | James BerardinelliAdd Critic to Favorites

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).Read the full review

The Onion (A.V. Club) | Scott TobiasAdd Critic to Favorites

Ultimately, its most unforgivable sin is that it's simply not funny.Read the full review

USA Today | Claudia PuigAdd Critic to Favorites

The movie is raunchier than expected, and above all clichéd, formulaic and thoroughly sexist. Worst, it's just not very funny.Read the full review

Boston Globe | Wesley MorrisAdd Critic to Favorites

There's a cheap thrill in watching Hudson defuse Cook's pig antics with some foulness of her own.Read the full review
