I saw a sneak screening of I Love You Man last night with the girlfriend and another couple. It was free, we brought some booze and snacks and had absolutely no expectations. What followed was a big mix of hilarity, awkward situations (an abundance of uncomfortable moments), groovy soundtrack, and a LOT of J. Crew.
*Warning* Paul Rudd wore the same belt for pretty much the entire movie and it kind of pissed me off. He also wore a certain tuxedo to his wedding that might catch a lot of flak on these fora.
I have to say that the movie was pretty funny, had some great dialogue and one liners, some over the top gross out humour that could have been cut out (although had some follow ups that were funny) and a lot of bromance...
Jason Segel takes the cake in this one, he's both funny, odd, truthful, and endearing. Paul Rudd does a great job as well, slapping the bass! There are some really funny improved scenes and lines as well. Jon Favreau manages to be a huge biggest asshole yet remains funny and oddly enough...likeable. Rasheeda was pretty much just doing her thing...and Jaime Pressly got a lot of screen time as well. It was nice seeing her in a non white trash role a la My Name is Earl.
Like most comedies it started off with a bang, slowed down near the middle, and then picked a tad at the end. It's not a masterpiece, it's nothing really special, but it's fun to spend a night with a friend or SO as this one works for both men and women alike.
Sorry for the corny movie critic like review.
