I'm surprised anyone thought this was appropriate for even 17 year olds. Kids don't have to be exposed to such crude, sexist movies. Too many good ones out there to give this any merit at all. I watched it alone. I'm a nurse and ex-military. Hard to disgust me but this movie had no redeeming qualities. Why would this site give it an okay for 16+ year olds? Can we let our kids be kids? If I don't want them talking like this or thinking of each other or themselves in terms of anatomical structures why would I allow it in my home? Women are repeatedly referred to as being P_ _ _ _ ys and C_ _ _ts and men as C_ _ ks. Are you seriously wanting your kids to watch? If consenting adults want a laugh and don't mind the sophmoric vulgarisms then go for it. Otherwise keep it out of your home. It was a waste of time.

What Parents Need to Know
About My Best Friend's Girl
Parents need to know that this "hard R" comedy -- which may attract teen fans of star Dane Cook -- is stupid from the get-go and doesn't improve much as it goes along. It tries to earn laughs with coarse, gross-out humor, but not the genius kind masking a heartfelt message, a la Judd Apatow. There's partial nudity (breasts and butt) and non-stop sexual references, plus plenty of swearing (including "f--k"), drinking, demeaning sexist jokes, and more.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the "raunchy comedy" trend. Why are sex- and swearing-filled movies so popular? Is this movie as successful as its hard-R predecessors, or does it fall flat? Why? Parents, ask your teens what parts of the movie they found offensive. Why was that the case? Did any of it seem romantic? Why or why not? Families can also discuss the movie's perspective on women. Are they really so gullible that they'd fall for such an over-the-top scam like Tank's? Is Dustin really unattractive to women just because he's nice? Why would Alexis be attracted to Tank?
