A Guy Thing
A nothing, or close enough to make no difference, about a groom-to-be who wakes up after his bachelor party with a Tiki Girl in his bed. The Tiki Girl turns out to be the bride-to-be's cousin. An attack of the crabs, a simulated bout of diarrhea, a pair of "dirty" panties, and other indignities never suffered by Cary Grant and Irene Dunne, Rock Hudson and Doris Day, follow. The principal players -- Jason Lee, Julia Stiles, Selma Blair -- do not bring along the Independent Spirit of, say, Chasing Amy, The Business of Strangers, and Storytelling, respectively -- so much as they strive, like true troupers, to blend into the Establishment. Where else has that push-faced pug, Julia Stiles, shown such friskiness? Directed by Chris Koch. 2003.
