A man trying to save his relationship with the woman he loves finds himself sinking into a quicksand of small lies and half-truths in this
comedy.
Paul (
Jason Lee) is a regular guy who is engaged to marry
Karen (
Selma Blair); while
Paul loves
Karen, he's more than a bit nervous around her family, even though her father (
James Brolin) has already given him a job in the family business. Shortly before the wedding,
Paul's friends throw him a bachelor party, complete with a boatload of liquor and a squadron of grass-skirt-clad tiki dancers.
Paul strikes up a conversation with one of the dancers, the cheerful if inept
Becky (
Julia Stiles), and the next morning, he wakes up bleary-eyed with a massive hangover -- and
Becky in bed next to him.
Paul soon receives a phone call from
Karen saying she's stopping by for a visit, and
Paul scrambles to get
Becky out of his apartment.
Paul attempts to explain some incriminating evidence with a few white lies, but a messy situation gets messier when
Paul runs into
Becky at a pre-wedding family get-together...and discovers she's
Karen's cousin.
A Guy Thing also features
Shawn Hatosy,
Lochlyn Munro, and
Julie Hagerty.
