My Girlfriend's Boyfriend (2010) Reviews

• A pleasant surprise

  reedcom2011-02-15

  Wife and I picked this movie at random to watch on Valentines Day, never having heard of it. We were pleasantly surprised, in more than one way. I wouldn't say it was perfect, it was a tad cheesy in parts. But overall it was charming, funny, and refreshingly very clean...nobody sleeping around or bad language that I can remember. And Alyssa Milano is easy on the eyes. And the twist at the end was very creative...as surprising as anything M. Night Shyamalan ever did. My wife can usually see movie plots miles away, but was totally blindsided by this one.

• A love story with a twist.

  My Girlfriend's Boyfriend stars Alyssa Milano (Charmed) as Jesse, an unlucky-in-love woman who recently gave up on finding the right guy, all until two perfect men walk into her life. Jesse must try hard to keep it a secret from her two suitors, while attempting to find out which one will have her heart.

• Clever and different!

  I absolutely loved this movie. Daryn Tufts writes an excellent script that is different than the majority of the romantic comedies these days. I am always on the lookout for romantic comedies that aren't cookie-cutter predictable. Yes, you can almost always tell the two main leads are going to end up together, but this movie takes such an unexpected path, it's quite refreshing. Don't be dissuaded by the low score here on IMDb. The majority of the user reviews for this movie are very positive. I am quite surprised that this wasn't picked up by a major distributor like Napoleon Dynamite was by Fox Searchlight. It deserved to be. Finally, it was refreshing to see a cute and clever romantic comedy without the vulgar language and sexual situations. It hearkens back to Sleepless in Seattle in that manner. Give 'My Girlfriend's Boyfriend' a chance and let it touch your heart.

• Cute, unpredictable, and funny!

  "My Girlfriend's Boyfriend" is just what a romantic comedy should be: cute, romantic, and funny. It's also incredibly clean. The writer/director didn't rely on any gross-out or sex humor; instead, the story was filled with genuinely funny moments. Especially watch for the gum commercial--I laughed out loud repeatedly (and am chuckling again as I think about it)! The leads do a great job, and Tom Lenk nearly steals the show as the main character's brother. This isn't your predictable chick flick; sure, you can probably guess who will end up together, but the route the movie took from point A to point B wasn't at all what I expected. I'm always on the lookout for movies I can recommend without reservation, and this is definitely one. Highly recommended!

• Recommended, surprisingly entertaining. Love, humor, drama, all in one.

  I was bored and found this movie, so decided to watch it with my girlfriend. The movie started feeling like a low budget movie, but who cares about that? I think that we should at least acknowledge producers and directors who are trying to become big. This producer made a fantastic low budget movie. The actors did fantastic and the movie was very clean. No nasty scenes, no cursing, nothing offensive. Such an inspiring movie with HUGE jaw-dropping twist at the end that will leave you shocked. Recommending this movie, to some friends. In my opinion, I think they did a very great job with this movie.
