Variety
Manages to distract auds from the predictability of the plot with fusillades of profanely funny dialogue and some playfully sexy chemistry generated by Cook and Hudson. - 60
The Hollywood Reporter
Eventually the conventions of romantic comedy take hold, with the humor declining precipitously. - 50
Entertainment Weekly
The actors (especially Alec Baldwin, as Tank's horndog dad) elevate the material slightly, but such piffle will just fill you with longing...for a better movie. - 50
The New York Times
A date not entirely to be skipped. It's a movie tailor-made for those who think it's a turn-on to passionately kiss someone to whom they've just said, "I hate you." - 38
ReelViews
My Best Friend's Girl isn't just a misfire; it's a misfire compounded by a chain of miscalculations, and it's hard to figure out who this could appeal to (except, perhaps, Dane Cook's fan club). - 38
The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
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. - 33
The A.V. Club
Dane Cook plays a smug jerk in the dismal comedy My Best Friend's Girl. Strike that: He's only ACTING like a smug jerk. - 30
Los Angeles Times
Ultimately, its most unforgivable sin is that it's simply not funny.
