Dane Cook Isn’t Afraid to Steal Another Guy’s Girl – Or His Movie’s Plot

We’ve been telling you about The End of Ideas for a while now, but generally in the context where otherwise upstanding individuals knowingly attach their names to remakes, rehashes, reimaginings and revisions whose very existence could threaten even a VMA attendee’s faith in a benevolent God. (His close neighbours are starting to have their doubts, anyway.) But to think that a Dane Cook movie that even he has found reason to second-guess could in fact be a poorly rendered rip-off of a straight-to-video David Boreanaz exercise from a decade ago? Really, now — that’s just unholy. Judge for yourself after the jump as we bring you the special-needs trailer for Cook’s forthcoming My Best Friend’s Girl and its 1997 counterpart for the forgotten rom-com Mr. Fix It. As an added bonus, find a dormant IMDB comment thread parsing the films’ respective plots: “What a rip-off! I predict this movie will never be released…” Alas.
