Description of My Best Friend's Girl [Blu-ray]:
Smart, beautiful and headstrong, Alexis is the girl of Dustin’s dreams. But after only five weeks of dating, the love-struck Dustin is coming on so strong that Alexis is forced to slow things down – permanently. Devastated and desperate to get her back, Dustin turns to his best friend, Tank, the rebound specialist. A master at seducing – and offending – women, Tank gets hired by freshly dumped guys to take their ex-girlfriends out on the worst date of their lives – an experience so horrible it sends them running gratefully back to their beaus. But when Tank works his magic on Alexis, he ends up meeting the challenge of a lifetime. Alexis is the first girl who knows how to call his bluff, and Tank soon finds himself torn between his loyalty to Dustin and a strange new attraction to his best friend’s girl.
My Best Friend's Girl [Blu-ray] Reviews:
Didn't quite live up to the hype 
2009-11-25 - I would have liked this movie a lot more had it not been for Jason Biggs. Its not that I have anything against him, its just that everytime I see him, all I see is Jim Levenstein, or the 'Pie f*****' from American Pie. He really is not that good an actor. Dane Cook, on the other hand, is hillarious! If you are a Dane Cook fan, then there is no reason why you shouldn't buy this move. if you however do not like Dane Cook, then this movie doesn't have a lot to offer you, as it is Dane who provides all the genuine laughs. Wasn't a great deal of chemistry between him and Kate Hudson, either accidentally or on purpose, she seemed a bit out of place in this movie. A couple of funny moments are lent by co stars Lizzy Caplan, and probably the biggest laugh of the movie from Alec Baldwin, in a scene with him and Dane Cook. Biggs actually does provide a good commentary track for the special features, and also includes 4 good featurettes. Buy it if you liked 'Good Luck Chuck'.
Vulgar,crude,and riotously funny 
2009-11-18 - Not everyone will enjoy this movie.It is raunchy,crude humor at its best (or worst,as it might be).Dane Cook plays "Tank" -the date from Hell.He hires himself out to recently dumped men to date their Ex-es.The theory is that the women will run back into their ex-boyfriend's arms after dating the obnoxious,rude Tank.And Tank is good at his job-until he actually falls for his cousin's ex.(Kate Hudson).Among all this debauchery there is actually a love story-but this isn't really a 'date movie'.Unless your boyfriend or girlfriend has a good sense of humor and isn't easily offended.Myself? I laughed out loud throughout,,,,,,,,,,,,
Good Ol' Raunchy Movie
2009-11-02 - If you like Dane Cook, you will like this movie. It won't win any awards, the plot isn't all that great, but we really enjoyed the film.
This movie is very raunchy so it's probably best to watch with some drinking buddies, not with your family.
MILD SPOILERS WARNING
The only thing I didn't like was how it ended. I just don't buy that anyone would do all the stuff Dane's character did at the wedding. It doesn't spoil the movie, however.
Would never subject myself to it again 
2009-10-09 - But I actually did laugh out loud several times. Dane Cook was only a name to this over-50 viewer; I have not seen (and won't seek, I don't think) his other starring vehicles. Kate Hudson seemed fairly blah to me, though based on what I cannot say; this certainly did not alter that perception. And as maybe the only adult who has not endured any of the American Pie franchise, Jason Biggs was also new to me.....so, no preconceptions, no expectations.
Well, I think you can get an accurate perception from the many reviews here. If you enjoy people saying outlandish things, especially to old women and kids, using profane language, and generally behaving as offensive and selfish jerks (the opposite kind of heartless jerk as The Wedding Crashers--over the top sludge instead of over the top loveydovey) then this is your kind of movie. If you expect something other than endless fish-very-out-of-water foul language, then, with a couple of surprising glimmers of humor, you will be bored. Not offended.... while Hollywood likes to "push the envelope" by trying to offend, the result of bad boys saying bad words is just "bleeh". In fact, the supposedly Christian-offending pizza place was, by far, the most clever thing in the whole film, though, yet again, Hollywood's understanding of Christianity is as comprehensive and accurate as it would be if they wrote their scripts after glancing at an excerpt from a magazine article paraphrasing an anthropological text that mentions some remote and unvisited tribe called "Christians".
And since I have been married for a long time I sure don't know, but if this is how the single/dating world lives, I am most grateful to be far removed from it. What a universe of coarse brutality (Alec Baldwin, yeech!) and callow hollowness.
Really funny flick
2009-09-22 - Dane Cook takes strutting and cockiness to a new level in this one. This is a somewhat creepy movie with some really uncomfortable scenes. The part Alec Baldwin plays is totally out of character, and so funny he steals the show. A great cast and endless funny one-liners and blowout scenes make it worth watching.
