"Ethan Reed" (Christopher Gorham) is a nice guy who wants to be a successful writer. Naturally, he becomes quite disappointed when the romance novel he has spent a lot of time on is turned down by his publisher because it lacks passion. So, to help relieve his frustrations and collect his thoughts he goes to a nearby coffee shop and just happens to meet an attractive woman named "Jesse Young" (Alyssa Milano) who works there and agrees to go out on a date with him. Not long afterward, however, Jesse is asked by another man by the name of "Troy Parker" (Michael Landes) to also go out with him. Finding Troy almost irresistible she quickly agrees as well. It's only while dating both men on alternate days that she finds herself caught in a serious dilemma as both men each have something unique to offer, and as time goes by her problem of deciding which one to choose and which one to drop, becomes even more difficult. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this was a cute romantic-comedy which had several good scenes and decent acting all around. Unfortunately, there wasn't a great deal of passion, and the differences between Ethan and Troy were overplayed a bit as well. In any case, I thought that this film was good enough for the time spent and have rated it accordingly. Average.
The best thing about the film is the title. It got me curious, then I decided to give it a try to learn what's that mean. Love triangle is something what I anticipated, but to know how good it is going to be was my eagerness. I did not know anybody from it, well, except Alyssa Milano. It was a low cost film, but production was good. The opening was decent, so expected a fine development and conclusion. Then did I disappointed with it? Well, a little!
It got me. At one point I predicted it entirely wrong. I realised that only during the final few minutes. Yep, the actors were good and so the fairly fitting ending, but for some people that might look like a grand twist. I think the writing, including dialogues and direction was better than I expected. Feels like it is an ordinary version of 'Ruby Sparks'. If you had liked that, probably you would like it as well, though it is not a fantasy.
Whatever you thought of it, the last 5-10 minutes makes you change your stance, that's how it is designed. So it is not a best romance- comedy, but a watchable one for being slightly original. I would surely give a thumbs up to you to go for it, only if you say you won't try to predict it, but try to watch it like the normal people. In my opinion, that's how it to be watched for the maximum benefit.
6/10

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 went into My Girlfriend's Boyfriend expecting a run-of-the-mill romantic comedy, but I was pleasantly surprised to find it is actually quite unique. This charming film features good acting, realistic dialogue and a clever story. In fact, part of me wanted to re-watch this movie immediately after viewing it for the first time. Well done, Mr. Tufts.
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.
