Review

Tank is a man who does terrible dates for the money so men could get their exes back using his services. His cousin Dustin is in love with a woman called Alexis but Alexis just friendzones him and finally Dustin turns to Tank and asks for a help. Sadly things does not go as excepted and Tank himself starts to have emotions towards Alexis.

This was a funny romantic comedy with dirty humour. Characters are interesting and the grow up story of Tank works well. Story is quite cliché as excepted in romantic comedy, but it had still good surprising moments if you are looking this for the first time.

My Best Friend´s Girl reminded me also about the movie "The Ugly Truth" what is done one year later than this movie, maybe it have got some kind of inspiration from this as well, hard to say. Surely this movie was more dirty, but the concept itself is somehow similar in a good way.

All in all, I liked this movie.
