I Love You, Man
A successful real estate agent, who upon getting engaged to the woman of his dreams, Zooey, discovers, to his dismay and chagrin, that he has no male friend close enough to serve as his Best Man. Peter immediately sets out to rectify the situation, embarking on a series of bizarre and awkward "man-dates," before meeting Sydney Fife, a charming, opinionated man with whom he instantly bonds. But, the closer the two men get, the more Peter's relationship with Zooey suffers, ultimately forcing him to choose between his fiancee and his new found "bro," in a story that comically explores what it truly means to be a friend.
It is your typical romantic comedy with first dates, blossoming relationships and the separation and reunion. But this time, its guy love. Between two guys. You come across the usual gang from the school of Apatow such as Segel and Rudd, coming off from last year's "Forgetting Sarah Marshall". As with rom-com, it can be predictable and follows along the formula, but the concept is done very cleverly and carefully as if it is satirizing the rom-com genre and it can be forgiven. Usually with Apatow films, it is much geared with the male demographic, but for this one, this is very female friendly. And for once, we don't get to see Jason Segel's junk!
4 out of 5 stars
