Matthew McConaughey in various Rom Coms
Over the course of his decades-long career, Matthew McConaughey has tried his hand at a number of different genres, yet some of his most memorable films are his romantic comedy movies. McConaughey first got his start in 1993 when he made a memorable appearance in the coming-of-age comedy, Dazed and Confused. From there, the Texas-born actor picked up projects of all different sorts, ranging from legal thrillers to sci-fi dramas.
Ultimately, neither critics nor audiences were thrilled with My Boyfriend's Back. It has a dismal 13% on Rotten Tomatoes, with many panning the film for its over-the-top silliness and sitcom-esque attitudes. Fortunately, McConaughey only played a small role in this disastrous rom-com. As his second role ever, McConaughey played Guy #2. Notably, other stars like Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Matthew J. Fox also took on background parts in the movie.
