Synopsis

When Ethan arrives at the airport just in time to declare his undying love for his girlfriend, love appears to have conquered all. The scene, however, is really the ending of Ethan's novel, which his agent calls "unrealistic." Ethan soon meets a waitress, Jesse, and falls in love with her despite her growing devotion to Troy, a charming businessman. But the line between reality and fiction becomes increasingly blurred.

bonniejbarlow While I like the premise (which wasn't revealed until the end) of a fictional love story paralleling the "real" love story happening, in the end, the "story romance" if you pull it apart from the writer's story and take it on its own merits it's dull and not so inspiring that the author finally gets published, it doesn't work. The fake love story is boring -- girl meets handsome guy, who is a rich ad exec, and she inspires him for a campaign with some random sentence and she decides to follow him to his new position that she inspired....it's total drivel. Like who cares? The big reveal at the end of the thing she can't bring herself to tell the guy is that she can't have children and that's why she doesn't want to burden him by marrying him. I guessed that plot point in the first 15 minutes and it's just dumb -- adopting, surrogates, etc. being available. Anyway, I think they missed the plane in the end -- if you do watch it this will sort of make sense.
ramazini Sup, people! I watched the movie while waiting to my medical appointment. Dare I say: these movie sucks like my cancer. Actually, if I had to choose between this movie and the latter, the dilemma would be good. The movie is, essentially, about a really great whore who tries to decide which of the two goofies she is going to settle down for good (she is a "poor waitress"). Her dilemma is solved through empirical experience (she secretly hook up with both of them). The first thing that naturally came to my mind was: what if it was the opposite? (a dude choosing between 2 chicks). I went through 3/4 of this film. "Luckily", I was called to my consult. I told my doctor about what i had just seen and he became worried that this movie might have worsen my disease. PS - also, this movie may have caused temporary dick detachment.
troy-manatunga In an attempt to stretch too far Daryn Tufts almost capsizes his debut full length directorial. A script that is written on a basic platform Tufts explores his minds creativity by adding in a twist that which certainly is clever. My Girlfriends Boyfriend isn't the obvious tale of a girl torn between 2 men as the trailer implies, instead it's a movie with massive potential which Tufts fails to discover. Primarily due to the reason the main line theme of a writer seeking for inspiration is overcast by the prominence given to the budding sideline theme of love. My Girlfriends Boyfriend hence falls amongst the vast numbers of Rom-Com movies and disappears without making a noteworthy mark. Ethan who is played by Christopher Gorham is a writer who has failed on many attempts to have his work published. Ethan's work seems to lack the creativity that publishers seek and is cast aside as too generic. The flare of the protagonist isn't exactly written in the flamboyant manner that publishers seem as commercially valuable. Ethan who is seeking inspiration meets Jesse who is very poorly played by Alyssa Milano. Jesse who is single and is divorced as predicted is this long lost inspiration Ethan needs. The exchanging of phone numbers seals the deal for the first date. Tufts first flaw is at this point when Troy walks in and meets Jesse, the core theme gets sidelined and a love triangle is given prominence. Troy who is played by Michael Landes is a successful advertising executive who comes through as too good to be true. It's obvious that Tufts makes this choice of sidelining the main theme deliberately so that the twist in the end would dazzle the average viewer. In this case for me he fails to bring the movie back in completely thus wasting his own efforts on a good script. Think of it like this. It's like being on a date. While you drive for dinner on the freeway, you take a detour through a scenic countryside to impress the other and end up getting lost! Christopher Gorham and Micheal Landes stand well ahead in terms of performance with comparison to Alyssa Milano. Gorham could not have done a better job with a convincing Ethan. The underdog which is Ethan is what pull the movie through to the finish line even with low ratings. It's surprising to see how Milano plays Jesse. If it's done with intent or if it's done under specific directions of Tufts is what makes it even more difficult to watch. Alyssa Milano this time is written off as quite difficult to tolerate watching. Title: My Girlfriends Boyfriend Directed by: Daryn Tufts Starring: Alyssa Milano, Micheal Landes and Christopher Gorham Rated: PG Rating: 05/10 84 Minutes
georgem416 I loved this movie. The twist at the end had me thinking about this movie long after it was over, and made me want to watch it again. It stayed true to it's PG rating. It is very hard to find a good, clean PG movie that has good acting and is targeted to an audience other than children. It was so nice to watch a movie without sex, swearing, and taking the Lord's name in vain. I hope there are more movies like this made instead of "it was a really good movie except this one part..." It's great to have a modern boy meets girl movie without all of the sex. I watched this with my teenage daughters and we all agreed this is one we want to buy.
