A Guy Thing wants so desperately to be a funny thing that it turns into almost nothing at all. This movie is like an annoying party guest who won't go home, although the most loyal devotees of Julia Stiles and Jason Lee are sure to get a few good laughs. Lee's awkwardly cast (and costumed) as a husband-to-be who's about to discover he's fallen in love with the free-spirited cousin (Stiles) of his comparatively straight-laced fiancée (Selma Blair). When all the who's-who gets figured out, this decidedly unromantic comedy shifts into auto-pilot with Lee trapped in a rote series of compromising positions. Every outcome is telegraphed far in advance, and true love takes its course with numbing efficiency. Lee barely squeaks by with his dignity intact; the fact that Stiles emerges buoyantly unscathed is further proof that this beguiling actress is deservedly a star on the rise. --Jeff Shannon

A real good comedy all the way.Many ups and downs and surprise ending.

again stupid comedy.......2007-01-28

If you saw film "The sweetest thing" (2002 year) and you liked it - you'll for sure like this one. Same level of stupidness.

This overall is a good film with lots of plot twists and funny scenes. This is in no way revolutionary or will get any awards. But it is a good way to spend 90 minutes. Something you can watch, with someone and laugh with. In one word, entertaining.

Funny Funny Funny.......2006-11-04

This is one of the funniest romantic comedies I have ever seen. It has heart, with quips about the actors and the situations that spiral out of control

hard to watch.......2006-01-08

i rented this movie because i love julia stiles and it looked like a cute, fun romantic comedy. i was wrong. it started out all right, for maybe the first five minuets. then the jokes went out of hand; dragging on and on and making you embarassed for the characters.
it wasnt just that it was predictable, a lot of movies are and are still good, but something was lacking. there wasnt enough build up between julia and jason. i found myself wondering why they fell for each other. and it was really hard to believe that selma wouldnt have found out about everything that was going on for such a long time. mainly the characters weren't developed and i found myself not really caring about the outcome.
i wouldnt recommend this, instead watch some other of julia stile's movie such as ten things i hate about you or save the last dance; both of which i loved.

Underrated but Frickin Hilarious.......2005-09-16

This is one of those movies that critics hate, but anyone who knows of the genious of Jason Lee will know that anything he touches turns into hilarious gold, even if it's supposed to be a romantic comedy. This easily one of the funniest and most quotable movies I have ever seen.
