This startlingly uneventful compendium of thick-headed boy-talk and female tolerance squanders a fine cast on incredibly ordinary characters and situations.

It's the women who break the monotony of this dudes-in-flux saga...
Edward Guthmann, San Francisco Chronicle

In a relationship that skirts bad taste, Hutton and Portman make tender movie magic, giving this big-screen spin on Friends its only moments of true romantic yearning.
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

The dialogue isn't the only problem with Beautiful Girls. The characters are bad, too.
