My Best Friend's Girl
2008 · 1h 41m · Romance, Comedy
Skip it. This 2008 rom-com relies on a tired premise (best friend sabotage backfires) with a contrived love triangle that's been done to death. Unless you're a die-hard fan of mid-2000s comedies or the cast, there are fresher options out there tonight.
Plot
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.
