Summary: Julia Stiles and Jason Lee kick butt in the video!!!!!!
Review: Jason Lee and Julia Stiles are awesome. They are just excellent in the movie. It is a funny guy girl movie. It just represents the guys..because they have a scene where jason lee is drunk. There are some parts that are really funny...but towards the end it becomes serious.

Summary: Okay
Review: Jason Lee can be very funny, especially in movies such as "Clerks" and "Mallrats," but I felt that this venture just falls flat. It's not very funny, and like some past reviewers stated, it's very predictable.The story revolves around a man who's about to get married. At his bachelor party, he meets a woman and spends the night with her. Later he finds out the woman he slept with is his fiance's cousin. The rest of the film is about his trying to decide if marrying his fiance is the right thing to do or if he should be with her carefree cousin. "A Guy Thing" isn't the best movie in the world, but if you want to watch a (somewhat predictable) romantic comedy about a man who gets cold feet before his wedding and in turn finds the woman of his dreams, watch this one.

Summary: Loved It
Review: Judging from the bad reviews, I must have watched this on a night when I wasn't too demanding. I just wanted a little entertaining .. not a deep story.
DUUUH?!? That's what this movie is for!
Yes, it is predictable. Yes, it follows an over used story line BUT it does it so much better than most.
I had avoided this movie for a long time. I am glad I watched it though I do find Stiles irritating as usual. She puckers her brow for every emotion. She is a lousy actress in my opinion.
I thought this movie was creative with the crabs, mugger, chef, spiked gravy, daydream scenes, brother.
I laughed out loud a lot which is the supposed to be the whole idea!!

Summary: Ludicrously Hilarious
Review: Life is ludicrous from time to time. "A Guy Thing" is equally silly & absurd. It's mind numbing but funny. A moment I particularly like is when Paul Coleman (Jason Lee) is beaten up by Ray and thrown into a dumpster. His fiancee Karen (Selma Blair) happens along. Of course, being a guy trying to salvage some pride, he fabricates a story that he was brave despite being mugged. So when the police show up, his description of the perpetrator gets more & more bizarre. "What was his race?" the officer asks. Lee looks puzzled. "Was he black or white?" "A little of both." "And he had red hair, in dreadlocks, with a gold tooth, and a tattoo of barbed wire around his neck." Paul of course thinks that no one will match that description only to wind up at a line-up where Hansberry played by Victor Varnado stands there, part black, part white, red hair, dreadlocks, with a gold tooth & a tattoo of barbed wire around his neck. "Oh, it's not him!" Lee yells. It's stupid; but it's hilarious. Director Chris Koch previously directed "Snow Day" with Jean Smart & Chevy Chase. He does a good job of keeping the pace moving from one intensely ridiculous occurrence to the next. Julia Stiles shines. She is so funny, sweet and sincere. The fact that Jason Lee is 10 years older than she doesn't dull the romance. Mr. Barbra Streisand, otherwise known as James Brolin, does a great job as Karen's macho dad. Selma Blair who was great in "Cruel Intentions" and "Legally Blonde" does a good job as his fiancee. I also like the wonderful moments given to the supporting players. Diana Scarwid who was nominated for an Oscar in 1980 for playing with John Savage in "Inside Moves" and was Faye Dunaway's abused daughter in the Joan Crawford biopic "Mommie Dearest" looks elegant as the mother of the bride. Julie Haggerty who was so funny in the "Airplane" movies is the other mom. Her film hubby here is the grossly unmannered Buck played by David Koechner who can currently be seen in "My Boss' Daughter." Thomas Lennon from "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" is wonderful as the starry-eyed brother who eventually walks away with Karen. Canadian actress Jackie Burroughs who was in "Willard" is hilarious as Irish Aunt Budgie who will stop at nothing to sneak a glass of wine. Lochlyn Munro from "Dead On Campus," "Duets," and "A Night at the Roxbury" plays the boneheaded ex-boyfriend of Julia Stiles. Even a couple of walk-ons are extremely memorable. Keith Dallas is the Spend Mart clerk who covers on the phone for a complete stranger about a pair of used underwear supposedly purchased from their underwear bins by saying, "It's those college kids who keep playing pranks by coming here and sticking dirty underwear in our underwear bins." He hangs up & explains, "It's a guy thing." Zahf Paroo is delightful as the perky Ahmed who is joyfully exuberant while Lee & Lennon get fitted for their tuxes. The DVD offers some good bonus scenes, one in particular where Karen wants to have sex with Jason the night before their wedding. Jason unfortunately can't because he's wearing a police wire trying to catch the dirty cop Ray. It didn't fit in the movie, but is more hilarity. The comments on bachelor parties are funny with Lennon relating a 4-day bachelor party in Amsterdam he attended. Cast members then comment on his wild story. Yes, "A Guy Thing" is utterly silly & ultimately forgettable. I've rented it twice, not recalling I'd already seen it. But it is a good time while it's going on. Kind of like life, eh? Enjoy!

Summary: Get Over It!
Review: Ok, so it's not Oscar worthy material? I'm sure you saw the previews--it is what it is--a sweet movie about not going for what's safe. And come on--Julie Hagarty is hilarious-- Do not watch this movie if you're looking for something deeper--it's fun, sweet romantic fluff which we all need once & a while. The commentary is a lot of fun & you have to play the interactive quiz.

Summary: Could not stop from laughing out loud
Review: Paul Colman (Jason Lee) is reluctantly having a bachelor party. He innocently buys a bear for an inept hula girl (Julia Stiles) that was part of the entertainment. He wakes up to find her in his bead and is fiancé on the way. From there it is one situation after another and snowballs. Will he ever straiten it out with his fiancé? And what is to become of the hula girl? Yes the first thing you will notice is that this is formula. The whole reason we pick a genera is because we like to see variations on a formula; who can do it better and what different twist can be placed in the story and keep it on track. If this had been played with some actor that had to rely on past films reputations like Adam Sandler the film would not work. My favorite scene was the one where Paul (with a strait face) tells Karen that the panties (obviously used) she is holding came from a bin at a discount store. She dials up the store for verification. One added plus to the movie is Larry Miller as Minister Ferris who knew or suspected everything and could not tell. See him again when he can really branch out in "Radioland Murders" (1994) and "Undercover Blues" (1993).

Summary: Extremely Light, Predictable Comedy; Julia Stiles Shines
Review: Sometimes I get stuck into watching this type of movie because my daughter rents these things and forces me to watch them. She loved this movie and thought it was funny, stupid, but funny. I had to give you the teen daughter perspective before I gave you mine. I admit this movie is silly, unnecessary, and throwaway. I still laughed in a lot of places. I also groaned in a few places too. Example: When Paul Coleman (Jason Lee) found Becky's (Julia Stiles) panties when his fiance was on the way over, he searched all over the apartment for a place to hide them, ultimately hiding them in the toilet. You knew what was going to happen, and what did happen. Also, there was a running joke about pictures of Becky and Paul, which we never got to see, being found by a minister's son, who also happened to live in the same apartment building. The son kept finding the pictures and the minister kept bringing them back. *sigh*. The tale is a bit hackneyed as well. Girl and guy are prepared to be married, seemingly the perfect couple. Guy meets another girl, girl meets another guy, everyone wonders what's wrong with this picture; guess how it all turns out? SURPRISE!!! NOT!!! In spite of a re-tread plot, and in spite of the groans, there were places that this movie was creative and humorous; not many, but enough that I felt that watching the movie wasn't a complete waste of time. I felt a bit guilty watching this movie because I knew the premise had been done (and done, and done), and many of the jokes were weak, and yet, I like the movie. I think that one thing that really saved this movie was Julia Stiles. She really is not centrally involved in all the happenings, occasionally appearing aloof, and she manages to escape this movie leaving everyone watching with a positive impression. Julia saves this movie from being a waste of time. I look for Julia to get better parts and bigger roles in the future. I won't go so far out on the limb as to give this movie any more than 3 stars (and perhaps a low three at that). Watch the movie for the interaction of everyone with Julia Stiles, and accept the groans as payment for watching those interactions.

Summary: nothing new
Review: There is nothing new about this movie. Actually, it was pretty boring. My boyfriend and I walked out in the middle of it. The story has been repeated over and over in other movies and the humor .....or the lack of it...is much more to be desired.

Summary: A Guy Thing Not A Good Thing
Review: There were good actors&actresses in this movie. But the movie didn't make good use of them. The laughs were passable at best. Jason Lee who was funny and terrific in Heartbreakers. Performance was deadpan&uninteresting. Selma Blair in my opinion made the movie funny could been used more. Julia Stiles was terrific but movie rely on her too much to make movie. So rent it don't buy it.
