- 70VarietyJoe LeydonVarietyJoe LeydonManages to distract auds from the predictability of the plot with fusillades of profanely funny dialogue and some playfully sexy chemistry generated by Cook and Hudson.
- 60The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckEventually the conventions of romantic comedy take hold, with the humor declining precipitously.
- 50Entertainment WeeklyEntertainment WeeklyThe actors (especially Alec Baldwin, as Tank's horndog dad) elevate the material slightly, but such piffle will just fill you with longing...for a better movie.
- 50The New York TimesLaura KernThe New York TimesLaura KernA date not entirely to be skipped. It's a movie tailor-made for those who think it's a turn-on to passionately kiss someone to whom they've just said, "I hate you."
- 38ReelViewsJames BerardinelliReelViewsJames BerardinelliMy Best Friend's Girl isn't just a misfire; it's a misfire compounded by a chain of miscalculations, and it's hard to figure out who this could appeal to (except, perhaps, Dane Cook's fan club).
- 38The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Stephen ColeThe Globe and Mail (Toronto)Stephen ColeAn ugly, strictly-for-meatheads comedy that can only be recommended to couples who wear matching Tie Domi Toronto Maple Leafs jerseys out on a date.
- 33The A.V. ClubScott TobiasThe A.V. ClubScott TobiasDane Cook plays a smug jerk in the dismal comedy My Best Friend's Girl. Strike that: He's only ACTING like a smug jerk.
- Ultimately, its most unforgivable sin is that it's simply not funny.
- 25Boston GlobeWesley MorrisBoston GlobeWesley MorrisThere's a cheap thrill in watching Hudson defuse Cook's pig antics with some foulness of her own.
- 25TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonaghTV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonaghIt lacks the courage of its swinish convictions, and abruptly acquiesces to bland rom-com clichés three-quarters of the way to its appointed end.
