Movie Reviews of A Guy Thing

Movie Review: Julia Stiles is good but film lacks sparkle
Summary: 2 Stars

I must say I have to agree with some of these negative reviews. A movie that falls strangely flat. It's hard to put your finger on exactly what is missing. Julia Stiles lights up the screen as always but somehow never really seems to be comfortable in her role. Jason Lee puts in an adequate though unremarkable performance and everything seems a little flat, like a soda that's been left out too long. A romantic comedy that never really sparkles like it should. Who's to blame? The director? The script doesn't seem to be much worse than any other RomCom that's out there, the acting performances are OK. It's a mystery.

Summary of A Guy Thing

Jason Lee, Julia Stiles and Selma Blair star in this hysterically funny romance bursting with "surprising comedy, likable characters, memorable gags and running jokes that are funny every time" (Knight Ridder)! Paul is engaged to Karen (Blair) when he meets the perfect girl, Becky (Stiles) at his bachelor party. And to make matters worse, he's just discovered that the two are cousins! Soin a situation like this, what's the guy thing to do? Tell white lies and cover things up. But asthe wedding date fast approaches, Paul finds himself falling for Becky and is faced with an impossible decision: do the right thing or lose the real thing forever!

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 fianc?e (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
