My Best Friend's Girl
It's funny what love can make you do...
Directed by Howard Deutch
Produced by New Wave Entertainment, Lionsgate
A lighthearted romantic comedy built on a dating scheme gone wrong, where misguided loyalty collides with genuine attraction.
Lovestruck Dustin is dating Alexis, his ideal girlfriend, but when she dumps him for coming on too strong, Dustin takes drastic measures to win her back. He asks his best friend Tank to take her on the worst rebound date imaginable - his side job - so that she will come running back to him, and Tank reluctantly agrees. However, Alexis is more than a match for Tank's shock tactics and he begins to really fall for her, leaving him torn between loyalty to Dustin and his growing attraction toward Alexis.
