Producer’s Synopsis: “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.

An outrageous, sexy, no-holds-barred romantic comedy, Lionsgate’s MY BEST FRIEND’S GIRL stars Kate Hudson, Dane Cook, Jason Biggs and Alec Baldwin.”

“…Romcoms don’t get more toxic than this depressing stew…”
—Stephen Garrett, Time Out Chicago

“…raunchy… A funny, high-concept idea that goes downhill fast…”
—The Hollywood Reporter

“…This Boston-set romantic comedy is an extension of Cook’s crass stage routine.… vulgar frat boy antics…”
—Tenley Woodman, Boston Herald

“…an ugly, strictly-for-meatheads comedy that can only be recommended to couples who wear matching Tie Domi Toronto Maple Leafs jerseys out on a date.…”
—Stephen Cole, The Globe and Mail

“…a racy comedy, which aims to be tasteless (it often is) and romantic (it mostly isn’t).…”
—Laura Kern, The New York Times
