Blog Review: I Love You, Man

Directed by: John Hamburg
Written by: John Hamburg and Larry Levin
Producers: John Hamburg and Donald De Line
Starring: Paul Rudd, Jason Segel, and Rashida Jones

I love You, Man is probably one of the funniest films that came out in last couple months. From the plot to the story, everything about this film is funny. The Plot is about a guy who has had more girl friends then guy friends which isn’t bad but when it comes into question if he has any, it becomes a big problem. Not to mention that he is getting married and needs a best man. So the main character Peter Klaven (Paul Rudd) goes out on “man dates” as instructed by his brother. In the process of some very funny encounters, he ends up meeting Sydney Fife (Jason Segel) at an open house. The two hit it off right away and they both start hanging out.

The two couldn’t have been anymore different, one being a real-estate salesman and the other being just himself. The eventually start hanging out at what Sydney calls his house as the “man cave” which is really just a space in his garage where there is a bunch of things men would have. The two talk about their lives trying to see where each other stood in their lives and they go into an awkward conversation about Peter’s sexual life which is brought up later at a family diner in front of Peter’s parents and other people.

The story continues with the two getting into a fight and the wedding coming up and whether the two will go back to being friends in time for the wedding.

This movie has so many funny scenes in it, one memorable one being when the Peter and Sydney meet up for the first time. There is a guy trying to impress a girl so he was taking her around looking at the houses to try and possible sleep with her. Sydney calls that he has to fart and he is right.

This film should be watched by anyone that is up for a good laugh. The combination of awkward scenes and goofiness of some of the characters really makes this film great. Paul Rudd and Jason Segel did a great job working together to make this film what it is today.
