‘My Best Friend’s Girl’ Premieres In LA
Kate Hudson, Dane Cook, Jason Biggs and others made their way out to the Cinerama Dome at the Arc Light Theater in LA last night for the Hollywood premiere of their new movie My Best Friend’s Girl. Unfortch, I was not able to attend last night’s event … but my good friends Darion and Kirsten were able to attend and D sends in a few of his photos and his report from the premiere event. First up, here are a few pics of the principal cast on the red carpet at last night’s premiere:
Yes, yes … everyone looked lovely, Dane Cook’s eyebrows looked plucked to near death, yadda yadda yadda. I’m most interested in reading what Darion thought of the movie and the premiere overall. Here are a few of Darion’s fun pics and his report from last night’s event:
Kirsten and I headed over to the Arclight in Hollywood to see the premiere of My Best Friend’s Girl, starring Kate Hudson, Dane Cook, Jason Biggs, and Alec Baldwin. It was held at the classic Cinemarama dome, which is always fun to see things in. On my way to the seat, we had problems finding which row was ours (it was so dark!), and a really nice guy with longish hair helped us out… I realized it was Hal Sparks (of Talk Soup and Queer As Folk fame)!! He was sitting a few rows behind us and was looking for seats at the same time. Only in LA … My Best Friend’s Girl is a romantic comedy about a guy named Dustin (Jason Biggs) who is in love with a girl named Alexis (Kate Hudson). Unfortunately Alexis doesn’t feel the same way, and Dustin comes on way too strong, thus getting dumped by Alexis. So Dustin asks his best friend to help out. Enter Tank (Dane Cook), who is hired by guys to date women and be the ultimate a-hole, thus causing the woman to run straight back to the last guy they were with. Naturally a love triangle follows! What’s really surprising about My Best Friend’s Girl is the raunchy humor. I was really expecting another cute but sleepy romantic comedy, but it really keeps you on your toes with “OMG!” laughter. Dane Cook delivers his lines and jokes with such rapid fluidity it’s like a verbal assault of hilarity. The writing is fantastic and Kate Hudson is ridiculously cute. She can somehow get away with dropping F-bombs on screen and still be adorable. The casting is spot on – I have to give a big shout out to Lizzy Caplan, who was a total scene stealer as Kate Hudson’s roommate. She was amazing in Cloverfield and is so funny in this film! Kirsten and I really enjoyed it and laughed a lot. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, spunky romantic comedy or a laugh out loud modern comedy in the vein of Wedding Crashers or a 40 Year Old Virgin type film. It’s a movie I can see a girl dragging a guy to on a date, and them both being totally entertained and laughing the whole way. When the movie was over we made our way to the afterparty at Opera/Crimson in Hollywood. It was a blast! While there I had the chance to get photos with some of the great talent in the film – Riki Lindhome (Hilary), Mini Anden (Lizzy), Malcolm Barrett (Dwalu, Dane Cook’s officemate), and of course Mr. Cook. Everyone was super nice and so friendly! I have to give a big shout out and warm THANK YOU to my boy Jean and my girl Danielle from Lions Gate for the hook up to the premiere and afterparty. Kirsten and I really had a blast and it was so sweet of them to host us!
Aww … I think I might have give Darion a job, this is the second report that he wrote for Pink is the new Blog (you can read his first PITNB special report HERE) and I think he is doing an amazing job. It sounds like he and Kirsten had a great time … I really wish I could’ve been there. Thanks D, for making us feel like a part of your night.

Nice to read. At first glance this movie looked cheesy but I will have to see it now.

Yet another horrid looking Kate Hudson movie. This also applies to Jason Biggs and Dane Cook. Big fat blech!

Reading this review kinda makes me wanna go see this film!

wHat is with Dane Cook’s haircut? Is it just me or does he look like a total douche?!
Darion and Kirsten are adorable. They’re both hot and they look totally salt of the earth. Glad they liked the movie! I was gonna pass on it but if it’s being compared to the hilarious Wedding Crashers then I must have a look-see for myself!

Are Dane and Jason really as short as they appear (at least to me)?

Trent and Seacrest will soon be fighting over Darion as their vacation replacement!

Who thinks up these completely boring names for movies? Nothing about that title inspires me to see it!

Actually I think this movie was originally called The Bachelor 2 (at least I’m pretty sure it was this movie). My Best Friend’s Girl is a much better title than that in my opinion.
Anyways I can’t wait to see this movie.

Thanks Darion. I am going on a first date this Friday night and was gonna go see Lakeview Terrace (as a guy friendly flick) but I think I might reconsider and see this instead…Thanks, btw You and Kristen look great (as always).

Yeah the title sucks. The most generic romantic comedy name ever. It’s hard to believe that Kate Hudson is an Oscar nominated actress, what with the load of crappy rom-coms she consistently delivers. I wouldn’t even waste time renting this movie.

omg! Dane Cook looks HORRIBLE! That hair does not look good with him at all.

I hate chick flicks but reading Darion’s review I might let my wife drag me there so I can score a few points. SCORE!!

Dane Cook seems like the biggest douchebag. I want him to go away.

Mr Cook….EWW.
