Details: Humor columnist Dave Barry hosts this cinematic investigation, based on his popular book, into the whats, whys, and wherefores of being a guy. Not a man; a guy, a distinct subspecies that Barry is careful to distinguish. Interviews with women reveal that guys rate only slightly higher than tapeworms; conversations with assorted experts (all played by Monty Python's John Cleese, A Fish Called Wanda) explore the petty, compulsive side of guy-ness; and dramatic re-enactments capture the many ways in which guys and the women in their lives speak almost entirely different languages. Dave Barry's Complete Guide to Guys occasionally bogs down in standard sitcom-style gags, but more often Barry's warm, middle-of-the-road humor hits its target (or, just as often, finds a sneaky way of moving the target to where the joke landed). Barry's genial, deadpan sincerity keeps the movie buoyant as it mocks sports, dating, competition, laundry, mid-life crises, and bathroom etiquette. Any fan of Barry's will find much to laugh at here, and newcomers will be drawn into the writer's comic world. Also featuring football player Dan Marino as a testimonial witness for guys everywhere. --Bret Fetzer
