I Love You, Man is a comedy along the lines of Knocked Up and Role Models. It is about a guy who asked his girlfriend to marry him, and then realizes he has no friends to stand up with him at his wedding. He then sets out to find a friend, not just for the wedding but because he wants a male friend.
The movie stars Jason Segal (Forgetting Sarah Marshall) and Paul Rudd (Role Models) as friends to be in this very funny movie. I have to admit that these are my favorite kind of movies; I love the shock value and extreme methods used to get a laugh. It wasn’t hard for me to like this movie, I found myself laughing out loud in the theatre at the extremely well done “mindless comedy”.
Most of the laughs are from the very awkward/embarrassing situations the stars put themselves in, but what I liked the most is that Paul Rudd is constantly saying stupid things. His timing and mannerisms are brilliant and really made it believable and reminded you of the times you were in situations like that. The cast as a whole was put together well and the script is funny without being too offensive, I personally don’t get offended but to those who do, it’s not too over the top. I give this movie a 7.5 out of 10 which doesn’t sound like the movie I just reviewed but I watch a lot of movies and I am one who believes in an accurate scale where a 5 is average and a 10 must truly be an amazing movie that I am still thinking about obsessively a week later so a 7.5 is pretty good.
