Paul is engaged to Karen (Blair) when he meets the perfect girl, Becky (Stiles) at his bachelor party. And to make matters worse, he's just discovered that the two are cousins! So in a situation like this, what's the guy thing to do? Tell white lies and cover things up. But as the wedding date fast approaches, Paul finds himself falling for Becky and is faced with an impossible decision: do the right thing or lose the real thing forever! (official distributor synopsis)

A Guy Thing is an extraordinarily unfunny and forced comedy with an extraordinarily stupid climax. The screenwriter must have written it while sitting on the toilet with some very serious intestinal problems.

A nicely paced comedy that unfortunately isn’t even slightly funny and shamelessly and embarrassingly steals from other pictures (see review of Spinning Man or Johnny English). It’s not often you encounter such a dumb screenplay, even in a genre where a lot of things can be forgiven. The overall embarrassing impression this movie gives is improved in places by Jason Lee, and in all places where Julia Styles makes an appearance. And that’s all; you get nothing else from this picture.
