Description of I Love You, Man [Blu-ray]:
At once sweet, genuinely funny and painfully awkward, I Love You, Man is that type of film that used to feel like a rare event, but these days is a lot more common thanks to Judd Apatow’s new hit factory. His stock ensemble of actors, writers and directors have managed to hone in on the perfect formula of raunchy and sweet.Apatow wasn’t involved in this production, but his mark is all over it just the same.Paul Rudd has to be the most infinitely likeable man in Hollywood; he manages to capture the ideal blend of sincerity and awkwardness but never comes off as annoying.As Sidney, Jason Segal departs from the neurotic and insecure roles that have nearly made him a household name in Freaks and Geeks and Forgetting Sarah Marshall.He channels instead the endearingly arrogant and emotionally stunted man-boy who is both life of the party and sad clown.The story is pretty simple – making friends tends to get more and more challenging as we get older and more settled into our lives.That’s never been truer than for Peter Klaven, a so-called “Girlfriend Guy” who’s never really had a best guy friend.As Peter begins to plan the rest of his life with the girl of his dreams (Parks and Recreation’s Rashida Jones), the pressure to find a best man and not feel like a friendless freak becomes more intense.Enter Sidney, a Venice Beach-dwelling, super laid back, Rush-loving, vaguely employed (but clearly successful) financial planner with no desire to commit, a room in his house dedicated to all things masculine and an intense desire to have a good time as often as possible.Soul mates, right?As directed by John Hamburg (Along Came Polly, Stella), I Love You, Man is consistently funny and totally relatable.With strong supporting performances from Jones, Andy Samberg, Jon Favreau, Jamie Pressely and even Lou Ferrigno (!), I Love You, Man is a little less raunch and a lot more sweet than some of this crew’s other hits, with quite a few laugh out loud moments.–Kira Canny

I Love You, Man [Blu-ray] Reviews: I Love You,Man. 2009-11-28 - I just rented the movie and liked it, I thought it was funny for a Bromance. The Guy who played the Hulk is in it.There are sadly,some Rush references like in Fanboys. but it's a funny movie. Rashida Jones is beautiful.
A must-have in your movie collection! 2009-11-18 - By far one of the funniest movies of all time. I saw this twice in theaters and knew I had to own it as soon as it came out on DVD.
Not the kind of movie I usually like 2009-11-14 - This kind of crude "bromance" is not usually my cup of tea, but I thought it was a really fun and funny exploration of male stereotypes. Paul Rudd is sweet, hilarious, confused, and sad in turns. The relationship between the two male leads made for nice character development. The movie would have been even better if the female characters were more three-dimensional. They, too, kind of commented on stereotypes, but their characters weren't really brought to fruition. Altogether, a good relaxing Friday night at home kind of movie, with a bit of food for thought.
not a very good movie 2009-11-11 - I thought this film was not good at all. It sort of dragged on and there wasn't much there to keep your interest. Foul language to shock you. A really crude character in the film I could do without. The acting wasn't much. There are better movies out there than this wast of time. Might I suggest Amerika or 500 Days of Summer which you will enjoy more than this bad film!
Paul Rudd Should Rule The Universe!!! 2009-10-31 - I checked the credits on the back of the DVD box to see if Jud Apatow had any creative involvement in this flick. Much to my surprise he has no connection to this wonderful flick whatsoever. The mastermind behind this latter day comedy classic is John Hamburg who a decade ago wrote the brilliant "Meet the Parents"(and it's unfortunate sequel). The best comedies tap into some eternal, sometime painful, truths. In this case it's what if you enter a certain point in life and discover that you don't have a best friend of the same gender. Director-writer examines this possibility with comic poignance and tenderness, raunchy and crude lingo aside. Paul Rudd is a throwback to vintage cinema, Jimmy Stewart coming to mind, playing the everyman who finds himself in this dilemna. Jason Segel can hang with me anytime. I didn't buy that his gregarious character was as buddy-bereft as Rudd's. For us boomers it was great to see Jane Curtin and Lou Ferrigno in supporting roles. Only debit: Rush doesn't register on my nostalgia meter.
