It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

I just can't think of any movie like I Love You, Man. This story of a guy in search of a best man is wonderful. It destroys the clichés of being the sports-loving, beer guzzling guy and explores the relationships some guys have with each other while being completely hilarious from beginning to end, as well as highlighting the importance of the protagonist's relationship with his bride-to-be. And aside from all the great but ridiculous jokes, it manages to maintain a huge heart. I Love You, Man is basically the inverse of the "chick flick." The "bro flick" perhaps?

One glance at the poster and one could expect this to be way too obvious from the getgo.Of course, it absolutely is a totally mainstream, formatted comedy with conform Hollywood structure and a comedy spoonfed to the audience with an obvious moral at the end...etc... but exactly in that regard, it's not as bad as it "should've been".It actually does surprisingly well at developing itself very quickly for the setup at the end. This film's goal was to create a strong relationship between two friends, and have the ending carry meaning and feel the right way in just 1hr45, which isn't an easy task even for formulaic Hollywood.It's actually funnier than expected, with some genuinely funny moments and secondary characters, and although it's not as powerful as the title claims, it's still solid and a fun watch that isn't boring at any particular moment.7/10.

Peter is getting married to Zooey and during the preparations he discovers that he has no best friend to ask for the best man. So he starts man dating, when he finally meets Sydney, a funny and free spirit guy who helps him develop an other aspect of himself. "I love you, man" is a nice comedy, could have been better if it wasn't for the rough humor and the sex references that are too much and that makes the movie tiring. So less of that would have been good. Plus, Rudd's character is so irritating some times, but Segel is great, so that can be overlooked. Some of the lines are funny and clever and along with the great soundtrack, helps it to become an easily watchable film. So 5 out of 10, because the story is good, even though the ending it predictable, and it is entertaining.

Peter Klaven (Paul Rudd) is a real estate agent, and his girlfriend Zooey Rice (Rashida Jones) just accepted his marriage proposal. Everything is looking great, but then she along with her friends start to notice that he has no male friends. He goes on a search for a best friend and encounters Sydney Fife (Jason Segel) at one of his open house.It's a little awkward at the start before Jason Segel. It has some funny moments especially with Thomas Lennon and throwing up on Jon Favreau. But Paul Rudd solo desperately needs a wing man. That's what the movie is about. But the comedy is hit and miss without it. Rudd and Segal have good chemistry. Mostly it works well. There are some good funny jokes in this.
