MCTFor all the guys in the world that have been nauseated by all the chick flicks they have been drug to with their girlfriends, and for all those that feel ashamed at having to endure “Confessions of a Shopaholic” and “The Devil Wears Prada,” now is your time to rise up and be ashamed no more. There is now a movie for you, the perfect bromance flick for you and your best guy friend.
That movie is “I Love You, Man.”
“I Love You, Man” stars Paul Rudd as Peter Klaven, who just got engaged to his girlfriend.
When planning the wedding, he realizes that he has no close male friends to make his best man. He decides to go on a series of man dates looking for the perfect friend and best man to stand with him.
After a series of dates gone wrong, and with the guidance of his younger gay brother Robbie, played by “Saturday Night Live’s” very own Andy Samberg, Peter eventually runs into Sydney Fife, played by Jason Segel.
But as this new relationship starts to blossom, it soon puts strain on Peter’s own relationship with his fiancée.
“I Love You, Man” is a laugh fest. Even though the movie is tailored for guys and their friends, it is a good date movie. It is riddled with little sappy moments to make any girl sigh.
It takes the chick flick clichés and turns it around to provide a movie that we haven’t seen in awhile.
The term “bromance,” which revolves around two best male friends, is something that has recently exploded into popularity. It only makes sense that Hollywood would jump on it, and jump on it they do.
The movie has laughs and jokes in all the right places and guys will find themselves seeing scenarios and situations that mimic their real lives with their friends.
The movie is rated R for language and sexual references.
Viewers will compare this to “The 40 Year Old Virgin” and “Knocked Up,” films made by Judd Apatow.
Even though this film is not one of his, both Segel and Rudd pop up in many of his films.
Apatow’s works are known for their very crude and graphic dialogue and jokes, and it’s nice to see an adult themed picture that isn’t riddled with graphic scenes and language.
So for all you guys out there, be sure to grab your best and tell him, “I Love You, Man.”
