A Guy Thing (2003, DVD)

When I saw the trailers for this movie, I thought it was going to be a light-hearted comedy with a nice little romance to carry it through. Oh no. This turned out to be my worse nightmare. Not really, but I was greatly disappointed. The Story Paul (Jason Lee) is on the verge of getting married to the perfect girl, Karen (Selma Blair) - six days away and counting!

I was surprised to see Jason Lee (who I know best from My Name is Earl ), Julia Stiles, and Selma Blair starring in this film. This movie was released in 2003. Right off the bat, I could tell this would be a silly,...

Being a big fan of both Jason Lee and Julia Stiles, I knew A Guy Thing would be a perfect movie to see with my girlfriend.
