Review of My Best Friend's Girl (2008) by Annie13 — 27 Dec 2019

I set up an account purely so I could complain about this movie. None of the characters are likeable and the plot is predictable. First you have the main girl Alexis, who's supposed to be the headstrong beauty that changes the bad boy **** But she's terrible.

Instead of just telling Dustin that they should go their seperate ways, she tries to string him along until she's finally ready to settle down. Then there's Dustin, who's supposed to be the nice guy, but obsesses over someone that doesn't want him, to the point of using "emotional terrorism" as he calls it to try and win her back, and then keeps obsessing over the girl that clearly doesn't want him.

And then there's Tank, the reformed badboy, whose character is surprisingly the best one in here. At least he has some kind of character growth and reflects on the fact that he's a terrible person. And the movie tries to do this funny haha all these characters think about is sex thing.

But seriously, who actually thinks like this? It's not funny, the characters are frustrating and the movie is clearly trying way too hard to be something it can't. The one part I liked was the scene where Tank walks into the church for the wedding.

I really liked how they did that shot. The music playing and the angle of the shot set the mood really well.
