Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly (Top Critic)

17

Abysmal, one of those dumbed-into-the-gutter farces in which the hero keeps having to do things like crawl out a second-story window and onto a tree branch.

Much of it plays like a confused, desperate rehash of [Meet the Parents].

There's enough chemistry between the leads, a few ludicrous plot twists and a fair amount of laughs to entertain audiences.

Ann Hornaday Washington Post (Top Critic)

[Tries] desperately to lower the bar for scatological gags, rank sexual humor and cheap physical shots.

Desson Thomson Washington Post (Top Critic)

For about 10 minutes, it works.

Some of the gags are solid, but this sort of thing lives or dies on the strength of its cast, and, unfortunately, the leads are playing against their own strengths.

Anya Kamenetz Village Voice (Top Critic)

The three move through a faded deck of cliches ... with a convincing impression of having fun, helped along by a snazzy '60s-'70s soundtrack and bit-part fillips.

Bruce Westbrook Houston Chronicle (Top Critic)

34

With its heavy-handed approach to light material, it falls on its face as often as Lee's hapless character.

Philip Wuntch Dallas Morning News (Top Critic)

9

A painful comedy of errors that wastes an agreeable cast.

Michael Wilmington Chicago Tribune (Top Critic)

50

Though A Guy Thing has a good cast and some funny moments, there's something forced and a little frowzy about the way it's put together.

Steven Rea Philadelphia Inquirer (Top Critic)

63

Manages more than a few laughs.

Tom Long Detroit News (Top Critic)

34

A romantic comedy that's as completely predictable as it is eminently forgettable.

Bill Muller Arizona Republic (Top Critic)

Here's a rule of thumb: If the coincidences in your movie have longer odds than Carrot Top perfecting cold fusion, you might be straining the old believability factor.

A better date movie than you might expect.

It's just off enough to lumber along.

Peter Howell Toronto Star (Top Critic)

A bale of romantic fluff that is a lot funnier than it has any right to be.

Rick Groen Globe and Mail (Top Critic)

38

A laugh, several laughs, are not only expected but flat-out demanded. Try as I might, I couldn't produce any. Let's hope you have better luck.

Stephanie Zacharek Salon.com (Top Critic)

Stumbles along laboriously, its jokes following one after another in a sloppy, flat-footed walk.

James Berardinelli ReelViews (Top Critic)

25

It takes a truly awful motion picture to nullify the considerable appeal of Lee, Stiles, and Blair, but A Guy Thing has what it takes.

David Hunter Hollywood Reporter (Top Critic)

A negligible thing at best and a determinedly unfunny thing at worst.

Peter Travers Rolling Stone (Top Critic)

If you ever admired Julia Stiles, Selma Blair and Jason Lee -- and who didn't? -- don't watch them crush their careers in this laugh-free romantic comedy from the director of Snow Day.

Did it really take four Writers Guild members (Greg Glienna, Pete Schwaba, Matt Tarses and Bill Wrubel) to write a joke about some soiled underwear?

Lame, crude descendent of Meet the Parents.
