This movie is a combination of While You Were Sleeping, and that scene from Back To The Future where Marty’s father says “Take your damn hands off her!”
My Best Friend’s Girl is what’s known as a low-stakes comedy, leading to the obligatory scene when the poor sensitive guy gets his heart broken, followed by the resolution in which he realizes that he doesn’t actually give a shit. The resolution is so well understood from the beginning that there really isn’t any suspense at all, which is why the whole movie is in the trailer. The studio is betting that a profitable number of people will be titillated by Dane Cook grabbing Kate Hudson’s ass, and this is the vehicle in which that’s going to happen.

Dane Cook started off as a stand up comedian; now he’s starring in movies with Jessica Simpson, Jessica Alba and Kate Hudsen… pretty impressive.
