"My Girlfriend's Boyfriend" is a nice little love story. The main idea behind the movie is nice and actually surprising. I was really wishing that the director would say the same story in a bit more engaging and different way. The problem of the movie is that throughout the story you do not feel anything. No passion comes through. Moreover, acting of Alyssa Milano is very poor and the only one who is believable in the movie is Christopher Gorham. Unfortunately, somehow the story didn't allow him to be the one you are cheering up for from your living room. All in all, it is below average movie, not a movie you will remember or be inspired by.

Rebecca (Alyssa Milano) lost her father when she was a youngster. Fortunately, her loving uncle (Beau Bridges) stepped in to help care for her and he's still looking out for her interests. Now a waitress in a cafe, Uncle stops in to encourage his stung-by-divorce niece to take a leap of faith and start dating again. She promises to try. Unbelievably, two men enter the cafe within 30 minutes, with requests for her phone number. One is Ethan (Christopher Gorham), a gifted writer who has just been told by his editor (Carol Kane) that his latest work will NOT be published. He is hurting and is contemplating a career change. Rebecca tries to cheer him up and does her job so well, that digits are exchanged. Not ten minutes later, another gentleman, Troy (Michael Landes), a rising ad writer, drops in for a carry-out order and ends up charmed by Becca, too, especially when she tells him how much she enjoys a certain ad he wrote. Again, Rebecca writes down her number. Over the course of the next few weeks, Becca's schedule is a whirlwind of dates and kisses. Ethan, poor as a church mouse, nevertheless takes her on picnics and hikes, even hustling Becca over to his sister's house. There, they all romp with Ethan's three active young nieces and nephews. Meanwhile, Troy entices Rebecca with fine dining, wine, and concerts. How ever will she choose between them? Also, to be honest, how can she string two men along, when its obvious both of them are getting very serious? This is a sweet film and an unusual story. Viewer, be prepared for a twisted ending that is satisfying but unexpected. Milano, very beautiful, is touching in the lead role while Landes, Gorham and the others do fine work, too. Romantic drama fans will also like the costumes, sets, script, photography and direction. Yes, the cover looks more like a romcom but, while there are funny moments, the story has a serious undertone. However, fans of romance should seek this one out before a new moon appears.

This isn't a bad movie... there's just something wrong with it. Is it the writing? That it's the whitest cast and group of extras I've ever seen? The "twist" is kind of... INCREDIBLY LAME. And yet, somehow (I think because the cast is very likable) it's not totally bad.And I hate to think it's because it's written by a Mormon but the whole conflict and motivating drive of this movie basically revolves around breeding small humans. THE WHOLE THING. And it's supposed to be this mystery to Christopher Gorham's character but he finds out and doesn't care and the tiny conflict is just magically gone so they can get married and I guess... adopt? (Oh and what's the deal with her getting a real job, deciding to move away and then not taking it? Falling in love is great and all, but doesn't she need to eat? Most book authors are not very wealthy.) Also, there should have been more depth or something to the brother-sister relationships. If two grown single people live together, they wouldn't be so easy breezy with each other. There would at least be teasing or fighting or roommate issues. No one gets along like that... It's creepy. (But I love Jonathan from Buffy and his little side plot was way more fun. Actually he was the only funny part of it.) But for all its faults, the featured actors are adorable and the clothes are cute. Of course, with most movies, that shouldn't be part of the review. It's not bad for a rainy Saturday streaming on Netflix. But it's just kind of off.

I enjoyed the film and didn't really think about the twist let alone see it coming. I seemed to spend much of the film wondering if James Van Der Beek had died his hair black before realizing it was Henry off Ugly Betty.Unfortunately the publicist was right, Christopher Gorham didn't convince me he was a good leading man. I spent most of the movie thinking the other guy was the better (hotter, fitter!) choice so I guess I was slightly disappointed by the twist. I suppose you could say that was the point of the story, that the leading man wasn't the usual type but it just left me a tad unsatisfied.Probably wouldn't watch it again so can only be an average 5/10 for me.
