Complete Guide to Guys (2005)

It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

hyped garbage

Blistering performances.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

It was a great pleasure to sit along the shore of north Lake Tahoe and watch the only U.S. festival screening of DAVE BARRY'S GUIDE TO GUYS earlier this year at the Tahoe-Reno Film Festival. The pleasure was enhanced by the constant sound of laughter, snickers, giggles, and yes, some outright guffaws, from the opening scenes to the final credits. This is a good sign when watching a comedy, and the film did not disappoint. Written about guys for women the film captures the intricacies and foibles of being a guy and reveals them for the opposite sex. We predict G2G will become the date movie for anyone in a relationship!

I was sitting about two thirds of the way back, on the right side. Occasionally something happened that made the sound go weird, but I really liked this movie. It wasn't like everything else you see out there, and I give it a lot of credit for that. I liked how they brought the two couples in and out a lot, and I think they could have used them even more. The Dan Marino thing was hilarious, and I liked the bits with the repair guy. And the thing about the fictional baseball player, I always liked running gags like that.It was fun to see a movie that didn't do things the usual way. I get tired of these cookie- cutter formula deals. I'm not saying everything worked, because not all the jokes came off the way they probably wanted them to. But the majority of the scenes were really good.I didn't know a lot about Dave Barry but after this movie I am definitely a fan. I was grinning the whole way through it and laughing out loud more than once.

Loved it! Laughed my head off!! Was lucky to sneak into the world premiere at Santa Barbara International Film Festival. Was booked out. Had me in stitches. Dave Barry is so cool. Anything he touches turns to gold. John Cleese's scenes cracked me up totally. It was a fast paced comedy and there was always something to laugh at for the more intelligent person. Is not mainstream or formula or basic humor for the bozo. Every word is brilliant and a must see. Will take you by surprise. The sound at the Arlington theater did not do the film justice as it was cranked through a P.A. system with dubious sound and everyone was talking about this issue. This apparently is always the case at the Arlington. Some people were struggling to hear. I was in a decent position near a speaker and I had the time of my life. Went home with sore abs from all the laughing.

...this is a wretched film. I was at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival and I would have booed or shouted crap at the screen but the director and stars were there. I know that they may be reading this but I do not care--I am a Dave Barry fan and I want to protect fellow fans from seeing this film (I guess you can call it a film). Please Please do not watch it for any reason. Stick with your books--this movie will ruin them. It looks like the pilot episode of a TV show with horrible acting and an awful sound design. I know the budget was small, but a talented writer/director should have received these funds and made a completely different movie.God awful...honestly.
