2.5/4
"A charmer when it wants to be, if only because the characters on display are ones we enjoy spending time with."  TheMovieBoy.com  Dustin Putman

C-
"There has to be something offensive about a movie this aggressively bland."  Film Blather  Eugene Novikov

C
"A pretty lame, crude affair...but the agreeable cast make it more palatable than it would otherwise have been."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

1/4
"It takes a truly awful motion picture to nullify the considerable appeal of Lee, Stiles, and Blair, but A Guy Thing has what it takes."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

3.5/10
"So much of it misfires that it's not as clever, funny or entertaining as it might have been."  Screen It!  Jim Judy

6/10
"Nobody's gonna mistake this rehash for When Harry Met Sally but... I was amused."  JoBlo's Movie Emporium  JoBlo

4/10
"...wasn't as bad as suffering through Just Married, but that's a little like saying you'd rather cross the Atlantic in the Hindenburg than the Titanic."  DVDTown.com  John J. Puccio

3.5/5
"It soon has enough surprises and funny moments to keep you watching to the end."  Film Threat  Kevin Carr

C-
"What's bothersome is the overall ethic of the film, the notion that every character needs to be outrageous, that any comical situation should be pushed nauseatingly far beyond plausibility, and most significantly, that the audience are a bunch of idiots."  Countingdown.com  Larry Carroll

C
""A Guy Thing" is a weird hybrid of gross-out humor for the guys and romantic comedy for the ladies that does neither genre justice yet delivers a few unexpectedly good moments amidst the pandering obvious ones."  Reeling Reviews  Laura Clifford

2.5/5
"An amiable romantic comedy that delivers a couple of solid laughs and doesn't utterly humiliate its game cast in the process."  TV Guide's Movie Guide  Maitland McDonagh

0/4
"I can't imagine this painfully unfunny and often boring movie being a 'thing' for guys or gals."  Movie Poop Shoot  Michael Dequina

D
"If you made a copy of a copy of a blurry copy of "Meet the Parents" and then ran it through one of those script-generating software programs advertised in the back of movie magazines, you might come out with something like the inept "A Guy Thing.""  Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies  Nell Minow

3/5
"Would feel a lot emptier without the lively actors populating it."  eFilmCritic.com  Rob Gonsalves

C+
"...its good nature and likable cast help to raise it above the doldrums."  Reeling Reviews  Robin Clifford

C+
"While it displays precious little originality or ingenuity, A Guy Thing is less graceless than most of its ilk and benefits from a likable cast."  Seattle Post-Intelligencer  Sean Axmaker

C-
"Sets the bar of taste low, then proceeds to limbo underneath it."  Eclipse Magazine  Sean O'Connell

"Stumbles along laboriously, its jokes following one after another in a sloppy, flat-footed walk."  Salon.com  Stephanie Zacharek

2.5/4
"Something only instantly forgettable suddenly seems a lot better than it probably actually is."  Film Freak Central  Walter Chaw
