Bryan - Ladies man or douche? U decide...


How many guys out there react to Bryan's character in the same way the Kenny does when he arrives in his clowndog car to pick them up. The guy is a douche but I'm sure the ladies out there just melt away when they see him celebrate after he pukshots that hamburger into a bin or arrive on his 'trusty steed'

He isn't the type of guy Christina Applegate went for at that time in her life(model pretty boys).

I will give him credit, he wasn't annoying to me as Swell's love interest and seemed like the guy next door who meant well. Their chemistry was good but not great in the film.

Not saying the actor who played Bryan isn't a handsome guy, I can just tell as an adult she wasn't overly attacted to him. She probably liked the fact he was really into her.

reply

Swell enjoyed having a boyfriend (or an almost boyfriend). Near the beginning of the movie, she lamented to her friends about her lack of one.
I think she thought Bryan was wholesome, and probably a great change from the guys she dated (who were probably dogs or biker types).

He's definitely a dork! Too sweet, too corny. But hey, nice guys can win sometimes right?

He's a cutie but he was such an ass in trying to find out where she worked.

douche ..a major one and so was the manger at clown dog
she should have dumped him and also she should have beat the crap out of carolyn

reply

Am I the only one who didn't think Bryan was a douche? He was just a nice guy who was a little nosey in a harmless way. The questions he asked where not out of the ordinary. Wanting to know where somebody works is not out of line if they are dating. He had a reason to be suspicious hence "are you seening another guy" question.

Going out 2 times is dating? He seemed like a penitential stalker..Why did the Clown dog truck have a megaphone..Didn't he notice a big party going on?? Oh well my vote..Douche

I don't think douche is the right word. Dork, maybe. Yeah, when he drove up to an obvious party totally unaware and babbling nonsense on the microphone, uggh. Any normal person would send him on his way.

reply

Kenny's reaction summed it up perfectly.

reply

I wouldnt say he was a douche, but he came off way too clingy.

reply

I thought he was a tool
You idiot!

reply

Lol, these comments are making me laugh! I guess I'm in the minority cause I think he's really cute and sweet!

reply

He came across as pretty cool and confident, and most guys would ask questions if the girl started making it obvious she was hiding something, but I'm not sure if on the second date though. And the groveling over the Clowndog microphone near the end was pretty ridiculous, but this was meant to be a whacky comedy. I mean the whole way all the kids handled the dead babysitter could not possibly have been taken seriously, "nice old lady inside, died of naterual causes".
