A Guy Thing Reviews
Lame, crude descendent of Meet the Parents.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 2, 2003
It is a delightful turn in a movie that doesn't deserve it and I could only imagine the movie that could have been were a stronger script available.

Thanks to Chris Koch's slack direction, A Guy Thing never gathers real comic momentum.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 11, 2003
If you ever admired Julia Stiles, Selma Blair and Jason Lee -- and who didn't? -- don't watch them crush their careers in this laugh-free romantic comedy from the director of Snow Day.

The three move through a faded deck of clichs ... with a convincing impression of having fun, helped along by a snazzy '60s-'70s soundtrack and bit-part fillips.

It evaporates from your mind like cotton candy killing time on a summer sidewalk. It's about that filling, too.
| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jan 19, 2003
Here's a rule of thumb: If the coincidences in your movie have longer odds than Carrot Top perfecting cold fusion, you might be straining the old believability factor.

[Tries] desperately to lower the bar for scatological gags, rank sexual humor and cheap physical shots.
| Jan 17, 2003
A bale of romantic fluff that is a lot funnier than it has any right to be.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 17, 2003
Gets bogged down by predictable supporting characters and some tasteless humor.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 17, 2003
What a childish, empty effort, and what a dispiriting thing to watch, or think back on watching.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Jan 17, 2003
Stumbles along laboriously, its jokes following one after another in a sloppy, flat-footed walk.
| Jan 17, 2003
It's one of those movies whose sole conviction is that no gag is so tired or gross or easily grasped the first time that it cannot be run into the ground.

A better date movie than you might expect.

With its heavy-handed approach to light material, it falls on its face as often as Lee's hapless character.

A laugh, several laughs, are not only expected but flat-out demanded. Try as I might, I couldn't produce any. Let's hope you have better luck.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jan 17, 2003
A romantic comedy that's as completely predictable as it is eminently forgettable.
| Original Score: C- | Jan 17, 2003
What should have been an entertaining take on screwball comedy conventions with a likable cast is undermined by cheap laughs.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 17, 2003
It all sounds so funny -- well, no, it doesn't, and it isn't. Not remotely. Not ever.
| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jan 17, 2003
