	A Guy Thing (2003)
		A young groom to be has to choose between the right thing and the real thing when he falls for his fiancee's free spirited cousin.
		Guy doesn’t quite embrace the ultra-gross stylings of flicks like Road Trip and Saving Silverman, but it tosses in more than enough genital and excrement gags to please those with an affinity for the genre.
		A Guy Thing appears in both an aspect ratio of approximately 1.85:1 and in a fullscreen version on this double-sided DVD-14; the widescreen image has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.

	"A Guy Thing" - Salon
		But not Chris Koch's "A Guy Thing." I've heard people wax poetic about "Snow Day," Koch's last movie, as the worst movie ever made, but there's no way it even comes close to earning that honor.
		Paul is the kind of guy who wants to do everything right, and so he makes every effort to behave well at his bachelor party, a rowdy affair held at one of those faux Polynesian watering holes.
		But very few of the gags in "A Guy Thing" work, and it doesn't seem to be the fault of the young actors.

	'Guy Thing' shies away from its promising premise (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The "guy" thing of "A Guy Thing" is the unspoken pact between men that, since they all cheat and spin panicked lies to cover their tracks, it's up to all of them to back up those stupid little stories, no questions asked.
		The rest is simply a Hollywood thing (set and partially shot in Seattle), your basic romantic farce of a sweet but mismatched couple barreling toward the wedding date just as the groom finds his Ms.
		While it displays precious little originality or ingenuity, "A Guy Thing" is less graceless than most of its ilk and benefits from a likable cast.

	A Guy Thing Review (DVD Movie/Film) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		For, given past precedence, although ‘A Guy Thing’ might be the cinematic equivalent of a cheering warm glow in the middle of your tummy, it is equally likely that it could make you want to chew through your own face in desperation at its awfulness.
		Of course, the next thing Paul knows, it’s the morning after the night before, he’s in bed with a naked hula dancer, and his mother-in-law phones to inform him that Karen is on her way over.
		Glienna’s style, as illustrated by the De Niro/Stiller comedy, is evident throughout ‘A Guy Thing’, as Paul goes to ever-increasingly demented lengths to cover his guilty tracks, often within the context of a family gathering, just as Ben Stiller found himself desperately painting a cat in ‘Parents’.

		A Guy Thing wants so desperately to be a funny thing that it turns into almost nothing at all.
		Things get quite awkward for Paul and he tries to cover his tracks only to find himself getting deeper and deeper into trouble.
		There's a good reason for this as both movies have the same writer and as it turns out, this was written as the sequel to "Meet the Parents." Like in "Meet the Parents" Paul goes from outrageous situation to outrageous situation because he has problems telling the truth.

	TheMovieBoy Review: Guy Thing, A (2003)
		"A Guy Thing," directed by Chris Koch (2000's "Snow Day"), benefits from being released only one week after "Just Married." Both films are romantic comedies targeting the teen and twentysomething demographic, but the difference in quality is telling when they are placed side by side.
		"A Guy Thing," which acquires its name from one of the more unlikely good running jokes in the piece, opens at the bachelor party of nice guy Paul Morse (Jason Lee), who is to marry the organized and well-to-do Karen (Selma Blair) in less than a week.
		Still, "A Guy Thing" is a charmer when it wants to be, if only because the characters on display are ones we enjoy spending time with.

	A Guy Thing (2003): Julia Stiles, Selma Blair, Jason Lee - PopMatters Film Review
		Maybe it's that the script borrows heavily from Meet the Parents (by one of Guy Thing's credited writers, Greg Glienna, along with three others), wherein a hapless and anxiously offbeat groom-to-be endures wearing physical and emotional abuses in order to keep secrets from his fiancée and her parents.
		As Becky is something of a free spirit -- she's not really a Tiki dancer, only trying it out, as she also tries out working as a highway toll-taker, a bartender, and a cd store clerk -- Paul must show himself to be the ideal male type, not too wussy and not too aggressive.
		Ray (Lochlyn Munro) is a cop with a "steroid rage problem" (to be fair, the film notes this rather visible bit of illogic when Paul asks Becky how she ever connected with him, but she has no answer, save for, she made a bad choice).

	Guy Thing, A (2003): Reviews
		The bad thing about A Guy Thing isn't the talent of its stars but the warmed-over triteness of the material they're forced to work with.
		There is humor in the familiar just waiting to be rehashed for new generations, and A Guy Thing surely isn't the last stupid leave-'em-at-the-altar film we're likely to see.
		Most of the meager charms of the chaotic romantic farce A Guy Thing spring from the deft comic contortions of Hollywood's ultimate nerdy sidekick, Jason Lee.

	A Guy Thing
		"A Guy Thing" struggles for air beneath a heap of unappealing bathroom humor and obvious payoffs to overly foreshadowed punchlines before coming to something resembling life in its second half.
		"A Guy Thing" is a weird hybrid of gross-out humor for the guys and romantic comedy for the ladies that does neither genre justice yet delivers a few unexpectedly good moments amidst the pandering obvious ones.
		Toilet humor is de rigueur, including an extended bit that highlights, of all things, a raging case of the crabs.

	A GUY THING - SPECIAL EDITION DVD
		Paul's description of an imaginary mugger ("a light-skinned fl or a dark-skinned white") and the way an unusually graceful dance instructor is portrayed showcase a surprising intelligence regarding the conventions of this kind of cold feet/hot mama spectacle.
		Ultimately, however, A Guy Thing reminds a great deal of another Jason Lee film, Stealing Harvard, in basic premise (man about to be married finds ways to make an ass of himself in front of his fiancé and soon-to-be father-in-law), and of Forces of Nature, a film starring the former Jason Lee, Ben Affleck.
		What makes A Guy Thing better than both is, tellingly, that it isn't nearly as obnoxious as either--it's an inconsequential picture that earns a mild recommendation just because it doesn't spend the bulk of its running time being irritating or offensive.

		“A Guy Thing” performs a series of near misses as it goes around trying to be sweet, humorous, and touching.
		The finest moments in “A Guy Thing” are the scenes in which we see the title in action, as various strangers and family help Paul try to cover his deceitful tracks as he figures out whether he was actually unfaithful to Karen.
		These are honestly funny moments, and uphold a kind of initial originality the film probably had during its early development.

		In A Guy Thing, Jason Lee, the former Kevin Smith slacker who has flirted with leading-man status ever since he played Stillwater's lead singer in ''Almost Famous,'' seems to have been bitten by a vampire who sucked out all his prickly charisma.
		''A Guy Thing'' is 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.
		In ''A Guy Thing,'' he looks as if he's about to get on his knees and start begging, and what it feels like he's pleading for is mainstream acceptance.

	A Guy Thing
		Intro: "A Guy Thing" is yet another in a long line of romantic comedies in which the protagonist, about to be married, falls in love with someone else, then is torn between doing what's expected of him and following his heart.
		Of course, anyone who's seen similar films will start watching this and be able to predict the ultimate outcome after ten minutes, but "A Guy Thing" benefits from some good characters and a few hilarious scenes the screenplay puts them in.
		This seemingly psychic bond all males possess is the one thing which distinguishes "A Guy Thing" from countless other romantic comedies, especially since the entire film is told from a guy's perspective.

		Last year, Lee was the best thing in an otherwise forgettable movie, Stealing Harvard (see my review), and now he is in an even worse movie with A Guy Thing.
		Things get complicated when Becky's jealous and psychotic ex-boyfriend cop, Ray (Lochlyn Munro), confronts Paul about pictures he took of Paul with Becky.
		In other words, if one guy can help out another guy in hiding an affair, he will do so, because it’s “a guy thing.” I’m sorry, but that is a load of bull.

		Paul is another of those buttoned-down, deeply conventional males - beloved of screwball comedies like "Bringing Up Baby" - who is on the verge of a safe but deathly-dull marriage when he encounters a free-spirited female (Stiles' Becky).
		He also has much in common with Ben Stiller's hapless, humiliated stooge in "Meet the Parents" (also written by "A Guy Thing's" screenwriter Greg Glienna).
		Like his predecessors, Paul is put through a series of farcical indignities, including being shot at by his future father-in-law while attempting to hide up a tree.

		A negligible thing at best and a determinedly unfunny thing at worst, MGM's feeble comedy thing starring the less-than-blazingly-talented Jason Lee won't be seeing much boxoffice action from guys or anyone else.
		Lee's co-star in "A Guy Thing," Julia Stiles, is an enticing reason to keep watching director Chris Koch's not-sexy comedy about drunken sex complicating a groom's upcoming marriage.
		Climaxing with a screwball wedding scene in which Paul must choose between his intended or Becky, "Guy" goes for all the marbles, but it's predictably not nearly zany enough.

		Jason Lee's Hollywood status is described by one of the best movies he's been in, Chasing Amy, and in Lawrence Kasdan's Mumford with much charisma, but of late he's been a slacker having co-stared with Tom Green in Stealing Harvard and now in A Guy Thing.
		Of course, A Guy Thing has to plod along with Paul and Becky keeping quiet about their night together and the flimsy way they come together leads to gags that detracts from what Koch and his team of writers have planned for their conflicted soon-to-be groom.
		By the time the snide minister (Larry Miller) has made his nuptial spiel it is certain that Lee would have preferred starring on "The Bachelor" than becoming less of a household name by suffering through a passion to freaks and freaking out.
