Guy Thing

Paul (Jason Lee) is about to marry Karen (Selma Blair), by all accounts the perfect woman. Yet at his bachelor party, he finds himself smitten by a clumsy Tiki-girl, Becky (Julia Stiles), and wakes up hung over the next morning only to find her in his bed. Guilt-stricken by the situation, he would like to tell Karen what he did. The only problem is that he doesn't remember what happened. As Paul tries to find out the truth, the discovery that Becky is actually his fianc?e's cousin is all the more shocking. And to make matters even worse, Becky's psychotic ex-boyfriend, Ray (Lochlyn Munro), is a crooked cop who is determined to get Paul out of Becky's life by any means necessary. Ultimately, Paul must decide whether to marry Karen and take the logical next step, or to take a cue from Becky and embrace his more spontaneous and creative side. This slightly quirky romantic comedy from director Chris Koch (SNOW DAY) features a healthy dose of slapstick from Lee, who is well-suited for the role. James Brolin a...

If this is A Guy Thing, then I'm having a sex change

Pros Becky's smile. Lighthearted.
Cons It's mostly contrived fluff.
Recommended it? No

There's an old expression that goes something like "If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with stupidity." I guess they forgot to mention what happens with the people who don't actually find stupidity baffling, or riddling, perplexing, subjugating, or any of those other "ing" words... Read full review »

Pros Music. A couple of cheap laughs.
Cons Story, casting, ending.
Recommended it? No

When I saw the trailers for this movie, I thought it was going to be a light-hearted comedy with a nice little romance to carry it through.

Oh no.

This turned out to be my worse nightmare. Not really, but I was greatly disappointed.

Pre-"Earl" Jason Lee Has A Guy Thing

Pros Lee's talent and determination keep this farce afloat. He drives a Kia Rio.
Cons Second act too long and uninspired. Familiar romantic comedy pitfalls.
Recommended it? Yes

The contemporary romantic comedy occupies a genre rife with abuse. Countless rudderless scripts follow predictable patterns of tasteless humor mined from everyday life. And when you think about it - who wants to spend ten bucks to embrace a world you're paying good money and two hours of your time... Read full review »

A Guy Thing [VHS]

A Guy Thing wants so desperately to be a funny thing that it turns into almost nothing at all. This movie is like an annoying party guest who won't go home, although the most loyal devotees of Julia Stiles and Jason Lee are sure to get a few good laughs. Lee's awkwardly cast (and costumed) as a husband-to-be who's about to discover he's fallen in love with the free-spirited cousin (Stiles) of his comparatively straight-laced fiancée (Selma Blair). When all the who's-who gets figured out, this decidedly unromantic comedy shifts into auto-pilot with Lee trapped in a rote series of compromising positions. Every outcome is telegraphed far in advance, and true love takes its course with numbing efficiency. Lee barely squeaks by with his dignity intact; the fact that Stiles emerges buoyantly unscathed is further proof that this beguiling actress is deservedly a star on the rise. --Jeff Shannon
