Open at an army base in the middle of nowhere. Jason Biggs steps off a plane, to discover he's a victim of mistaken identity, shipped to the wrong army barracks. An interesting premise? Yes. A cue for comic misadventure as he attempts to escape? You'd think so. And whilst Guy X has funny moments, unfortunately they are few and far between whilst this film tries to decide what it wants to be. Plot lines are built up and then discarded in favour of other non-sensical ideas. The promising initial premise got lost between the mess of subplots fighting for attention. By the conclusion, with nothing answered and no satisfying ending, you'll wish it had just picked one and stuck with it. Too late.

Apparently Guy X doesn't mark the spot. (very very very mild spoilers)
