My Girlfriend's Boyfriend

I'm writing this review after I've just watched the movie.

I think that the idea of a story revealed in the same time with the movie story it's very great. Maybe it will make you confused almost all the movie time but when it ends and things turns upside down it gets you a great feeling.

I have to admit that from the beginning I've watched the movie a little bit disappointed about the story line and all the stereotypes I thought i would see but things got more and more interesting as the story reveals.

There is nothing I can say right now about this movie but it's worth watching it. Enjoy it!

I absolutely loved this movie. Daryn Tufts writes an excellent script that is different than the majority of the romantic comedies these days. I am always on the lookout for romantic comedies that aren't cookie-cutter predictable. Yes, you can almost always tell the two main leads are going to end up together, but this movie takes such an unexpected path, it's quite refreshing. Don't be dissuaded by the low score here on IMDb. The majority of the user reviews for this movie are very positive. I am quite surprised that this wasn't picked up by a major distributor like Napoleon Dynamite was by Fox Searchlight. It deserved to be. Finally, it was refreshing to see a cute and clever romantic comedy without the vulgar language and sexual situations. It hearkens back to Sleepless in Seattle in that manner. Give 'My Girlfriend's Boyfriend' a chance and let it touch your heart.

The best thing about the film is the title. It got me curious, then I decided to give it a try to learn what's that mean. Love triangle is something what I anticipated, but to know how good it is going to be was my eagerness. I did not know anybody from it, well, except Alyssa Milano. It was a low cost film, but production was good. The opening was decent, so expected a fine development and conclusion. Then did I disappointed with it? Well, a little!

It got me. At one point I predicted it entirely wrong. I realised that only during the final few minutes. Yep, the actors were good and so the fairly fitting ending, but for some people that might look like a grand twist. I think the writing, including dialogues and direction was better than I expected. Feels like it is an ordinary version of 'Ruby Sparks'. If you had liked that, probably you would like it as well, though it is not a fantasy.

Whatever you thought of it, the last 5-10 minutes makes you change your stance, that's how it is designed. So it is not a best romance- comedy, but a watchable one for being slightly original. I would surely give a thumbs up to you to go for it, only if you say you won't try to predict it, but try to watch it like the normal people. In my opinion, that's how it to be watched for the maximum benefit.

6/10

My Girlfriend's Boyfriend stars Alyssa Milano (Charmed) as Jesse, an unlucky-in-love woman who recently gave up on finding the right guy, all until two perfect men walk into her life. Jesse must try hard to keep it a secret from her two suitors, while attempting to find out which one will have her heart.

• I was watching this movie with little expectations, All rom-coms seem the exact same to me, the same cliché's and obvious plots. But I can gladly say I was very surprised by this unique rom-com. Alyssa Milano still looks as youthful as ever and her acting is good. Christopher Gorham plays one of the love-interests and shines throughout the movie, the chemistry was great between them. Tom Lenk plays Jesse's brother, who provides a comedy side-plot that definitely made me laugh.

• The only problem I had with this movie was that it got a little boring at times and scenes were dragged out longer than they could have been.

• During the end of the movie, there is an interesting twist in the tale, one that did indeed catch me by surprise and was something I'd never seen in a rom-com before.

"Ethan Reed" (Christopher Gorham) is a nice guy who wants to be a successful writer. Naturally, he becomes quite disappointed when the romance novel he has spent a lot of time on is turned down by his publisher because it lacks passion. So, to help relieve his frustrations and collect his thoughts he goes to a nearby coffee shop and just happens to meet an attractive woman named "Jesse Young" (Alyssa Milano) who works there and agrees to go out on a date with him. Not long afterward, however, Jesse is asked by another man by the name of "Troy Parker" (Michael Landes) to also go out with him. Finding Troy almost irresistible she quickly agrees as well. It's only while dating both men on alternate days that she finds herself caught in a serious dilemma as both men each have something unique to offer, and as time goes by her problem of deciding which one to choose and which one to drop, becomes even more difficult. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this was a cute romantic-comedy which had several good scenes and decent acting all around. Unfortunately, there wasn't a great deal of passion, and the differences between Ethan and Troy were overplayed a bit as well. In any case, I thought that this film was good enough for the time spent and have rated it accordingly. Average.
