O Namorado da Minha Namorada

Wife and I picked this movie at random to watch on Valentines Day, never having heard of it. We were pleasantly surprised, in more than one way.

I wouldn't say it was perfect, it was a tad cheesy in parts. But overall it was charming, funny, and refreshingly very clean...nobody sleeping around or bad language that I can remember. And Alyssa Milano is easy on the eyes.

And the twist at the end was very creative...as surprising as anything M. Night Shyamalan ever did. My wife can usually see movie plots miles away, but was totally blindsided by this one.

My Girlfriend's Boyfriend stars Alyssa Milano (Charmed) as Jesse, an unlucky-in-love woman who recently gave up on finding the right guy, all until two perfect men walk into her life. Jesse must try hard to keep it a secret from her two suitors, while attempting to find out which one will have her heart.

• I was watching this movie with little expectations, All rom-coms seem the exact same to me, the same cliché's and obvious plots. But I can gladly say I was very surprised by this unique rom-com. Alyssa Milano still looks as youthful as ever and her acting is good. Christopher Gorham plays one of the love-interests and shines throughout the movie, the chemistry was great between them. Tom Lenk plays Jesse's brother, who provides a comedy side-plot that definitely made me laugh.

• The only problem I had with this movie was that it got a little boring at times and scenes were dragged out longer than they could have been.

• During the end of the movie, there is an interesting twist in the tale, one that did indeed catch me by surprise and was something I'd never seen in a rom-com before.

"My Girlfriend's Boyfriend" is just what a romantic comedy should be: cute, romantic, and funny. It's also incredibly clean. The writer/director didn't rely on any gross-out or sex humor; instead, the story was filled with genuinely funny moments. Especially watch for the gum commercial--I laughed out loud repeatedly (and am chuckling again as I think about it)! The leads do a great job, and Tom Lenk nearly steals the show as the main character's brother. This isn't your predictable chick flick; sure, you can probably guess who will end up together, but the route the movie took from point A to point B wasn't at all what I expected. I'm always on the lookout for movies I can recommend without reservation, and this is definitely one. Highly recommended!

I'm writing this review after I've just watched the movie.

I think that the idea of a story revealed in the same time with the movie story it's very great. Maybe it will make you confused almost all the movie time but when it ends and things turns upside down it gets you a great feeling.

I have to admit that from the beginning I've watched the movie a little bit disappointed about the story line and all the stereotypes I thought i would see but things got more and more interesting as the story reveals.

There is nothing I can say right now about this movie but it's worth watching it. Enjoy it!

I absolutely loved this movie. Daryn Tufts writes an excellent script that is different than the majority of the romantic comedies these days. I am always on the lookout for romantic comedies that aren't cookie-cutter predictable. Yes, you can almost always tell the two main leads are going to end up together, but this movie takes such an unexpected path, it's quite refreshing. Don't be dissuaded by the low score here on IMDb. The majority of the user reviews for this movie are very positive. I am quite surprised that this wasn't picked up by a major distributor like Napoleon Dynamite was by Fox Searchlight. It deserved to be. Finally, it was refreshing to see a cute and clever romantic comedy without the vulgar language and sexual situations. It hearkens back to Sleepless in Seattle in that manner. Give 'My Girlfriend's Boyfriend' a chance and let it touch your heart.
