Movie Review – I Love You, Man (2009)

Starring – Paul Rudd, Jason Segel, Rashida Jones
Director – John Hamburg
Domestic Gross – $68,570,273
Running Time – 110 minutes

Absolutely hilarious! I get that it’s manufactured to capitalize on the “bromance” movement in pop culture, but anytime you put Rudd and Segel on screen they are going to find the funny. Rudd is excellent as the straight man with Segel being more overtly funny. Rashida Jones is great as the open girlfriend as well. In their bit roles Andy Samberg and JK Simmons are hysterical. As for the plot Peter (Rudd) is a man that gets a little too wrapped up in his relationships to the point that he has no guy friends. When it comes time to pick a wedding party he is hit with this realization and decides to pursue making friends. In that effort he meets Sydney and they bond over their love of Rush. Hilarity ensues. I wouldn’t say it’s on the level with Role Models, but it’s a great date movie that you both can enjoy.

I’m Mike D and I approve this message.
