Movie Reviews of My Best Friend's Girl [Blu-ray]

Movie Review: Funny, offensive yet great Bostonian BD
Summary: 5 Stars

I have not been the biggest fan of Dane's as he has become poisonous to rental/sales revenue lately, but after watching this comedy I have a different appreciation of his talents. I have read and heard how offensive this film is to some people but I would venture to say no one will be trying this film (now) that does not already know - if you get offended by chauvinism and egocentric male pigs in film, just skip this altogether. This is not a first date film, or a tenth date film, this is a Boston guys film all the way.

The BD contains both the rated full screen 101 minute version (yeck) and the unrated wide screen 113 minute cut. I watched the extended cut and was very impressed with the quality. Lionsgate went all out on preserving a plethora of beautiful Boston exteriors and landscapes in hidef. Both the day and night wide shots looked extremely detailed and rich. The 7.1 was not used too extensively but when Johnny Cash's "Man Comes Around" song overtakes the channels (wedding scene) I was sold on this one. Admittedly, 2 Live Crew's overamped song in the car tested the higher channels, but with over 30 different songs listed, your system's speakers will get a decent workout.

The featurettes total around 30 minutes and give some nice insight on Boston filming and production; 3 of the docus are short and forgettable on dating, chauvinism and prom stuff though. The deleted scenes could have been left in and would have made the film 2 hours long, but still laughable. I could not access the MoLog and associated features but they sound fascinating, including being able to import graphics and text into the film, along with the usual BDLive fun.

I gave this a higher rating because of the whole BD package: great preservation, good sound, awesome soundtrack (especially with Cash and the Cars), funny/informative commentaries, and for making an obviously crude, yet laughable film. Be aware that you cannot play the menus in a mixed crowd either (offensive language and text on screen), and that would be the main shortcoming of the BD are the unfriendly menu navigation screens and no "play all" options in any of the screens. In other words, for the amount of extras and menus, you would think they would make them easier to navigate and use.

Smart, beautiful and headstrong, Alexis is the girl of Dustin?s dreams. But after only five weeks of dating, the love-struck Dustin is coming on so strong that Alexis is forced to slow things down ? permanently. Devastated and desperate to get her back, Dustin turns to his best friend, Tank, the rebound specialist. A master at seducing ? and offending ? women, Tank gets hired by freshly dumped guys to take their ex-girlfriends out on the worst date of their lives ? an experience so horrible it sends them running gratefully back to their beaus. But when Tank works his magic on Alexis, he ends up meeting the challenge of a lifetime. Alexis is the first girl who knows how to call his bluff, and Tank soon finds himself torn between his loyalty to Dustin and a strange new attraction to his best friend?s girl.
