I could make fun of chick flicks. Their story lines, their predictable scripts, the countless that-would-never-happen-in-real-life scenes. But I can’t. I love them. And I pay money to see them. And I will go see one this weekend. My Best Friend’s Girl opens on Friday and yes, Kate Hudson will play the different version of the same girl she plays in every movie, but I will probably still watch it, laugh, and leave the theatre on a mini cloud nine.

I’m a girl, what can I say?

As the synopsis says, Dustin (Jason Biggs) is dating Alexis (Kate Hudson). They break-up. Dustin then hires a man named Tank (Dane Cook) to take her out on an awful date so she can see how great Dustin really was. Tank just so happens to be Dustin’s best friend. Shenanigans inevitably ensue.

So what’s nabbed my curiosity about My Best Friend’s Girl is the character of Tank.

My question is: Do guys like Tank actually exist? In the world of men (or I guess there could be a female version too), are there actually guys out there who are hired out to do this kind of relationship wrangling?
What do you think? Do characters like Tank only exist in movieland and or are they taken straight out of real life?
