Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, My Best Friend's Girl earns its spot. The jokes in My Best Friend's Girl land because the characters underneath them are worth caring about. Lovestruck Dustin is dating Alexis, his ideal girlfriend, but when she dumps him for coming on too strong, Dustin takes drastic measures to win her back. He asks his best friend Tank to take her on the worst rebound date imaginable - his side job - so that she will come running back to him, and Tank reluctantly agrees. However, Alexis is more than a match for Tank's shock tactics and he begins to really fall for her, leaving him torn between loyalty to Dustin and his growing attraction toward Alexis. Dane Cook and Kate Hudson lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 2008. What keeps My Best Friend's Girl from feeling disposable is a cast that clearly understands the material better than the format usually demands. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Comedy fans looking for a reliably funny watch will find it in My Best Friend's Girl. It stands on its own even without an obvious comparison point. A contained runtime means every scene is doing real work. Dane Cook anchors an ensemble with real chemistry. Genuinely funny, consistently, across the whole run.
