I Love You, Man

This marks the first review for a movie that isn't in theatres, but is actually close to coming out on DVD.

I love you, man is about Peter Klaven (played by Paul Rudd) trying to find a best man for his upcoming wedding. The reason for the search is explained in the beginning of the movie, and that reason is that Peter had always gotten along better with women, and all his male friends had faded away. He gets set up on 'man-dates' by his mother and his gay brother, played by Andy Samberg. The first few dates are so uncomfortable, with one date ending up with a long, uncomfortable kiss.

Peter, a real estate agent is then shown having an open house. This is where he meets the interesting Sydney Fife (played by Jason Segel, the star of Forgetting Sarah Marshall). These two both take a liking to each other, and they start going out on a few man-dates. They slowly begin to form a bond, but not before a few incredibly awkward exchanges between the two. They really start to bond furthermore, and then it eventually comes down to Peter to choose between his developing bromance with Sydney, or his future with his fiancee Zoey (Rasheeda Jones).

This movie was a big hit for me. I really enjoy the awkward exchange, and there are plenty in this one. Some viewers may be tired of the same old comedy, but I really think that this film is entirely different from the rest because of the bromance relationship. I really feel that if this was another guy-going-for-the-girl type movie, then it wouldn't have done as well. Overall, a very pleasant and funny move.

Rating: 3 out of 4 stars Out on DVD on 8/11 or on www.watch-movies-links.net
