My Best Friend's Girl, 2008

I heard about this movie through the radio the other day when i was driving back home and so i came back and watched the trailer on YouTube and i find it pretty interesting. I know that my girlfriend likes romantic comedies so i told her about it. Went to the cinema yesterday and bought 2 tickets and little that we know, we’re in for a little disappointment. The Malaysian Censorship Board ruined the whole show by censoring all the necessary elements that is needed in this movie to make it look attractive or complete.

The story goes like this, Tank (Dane Cook) who is a professional heart breaker whose job is to be an asshole in order to make his client look superficially good usually for an ulterior motive. Dustin (Jason Biggs) who lives in the same apartment as Tank is in love with Alexis (Kate Hudson) but she doesn’t like Dustin like how he does her. At wit’s end, he hired Tank for his professional service and subsequently, both Tank and Alexis fell in love subconsciously. Dustin found out that his friend, Tank double crossed him and demanded him to moved out.

Tank then realizes that he actually cherished his friendship more than his relationship with Alexis after consulting his dad and so he sabotaged everything he has worked on so far one night in Alexis’ sister’s wedding. Dustin then came to crush the party and announced to everyone who attends the party who Tank really is and then Tank confessed about his “hobby” and also pointed out to the crowd who was his customers including the bridegroom. Dustin then found out what real reason to all of Tank’s doing and then became friends again and he gave Tank the green light to go for Alexis.

How the show ends is pretty much predictable but what you are actually looking at in this movie is how it builds up all the way to the climax of this show. It’s very entertaining of course but there are too many parts that are censored in the cinema. What you see in the trailer, you might not be able to see it in the cinema and that is very disappointing because what they censored is the important parts which links everything together. My girlfriend didn’t quite get what the show is all about because of this but yes, i have to admit that it is filled with alot of profanity especially the word “FUCK” but i mean since you already rated the movie as 18+ why do you still need to censor them? Doesn’t this makes the rating redundant?

It’s a good show, plenty to laugh. Whatever it is, catch the DVD copy of this show because they are not censored and i’m sure you will yield more enjoyment watching it than in the cinema. I wouldn’t recommend you to go and watch in the cinema, that’s for sure but if you cannot wait, beats me.

Ratings : 3.5 / 5
