Bro-mance????



last night, was a firday night with a difference for me, instead of the usual drinks and a night out, i opted for the more mellow and hangoverless night out at the movies!!!! after a couple flips of a coin the boys and i finally decided on a movie, I Love You, Man.........

effin hillarious!!!!

Paul Rudd, best known for marrying Phoebe in Friends and small roles in movies such as Knocked Up, The 40 Year Old, Night at the Musuem and more recently Role Models, finally gets his big break in this sweet, amusing and perfectly acceptable comedy, I Love You, Man. He stars alongside the big naked guy from Forgetting Sarah Marshal ,Jason Segel who plays the laidback, cheerful, owenwilson-ish and honest slacker Sydney Fife. Before I go into what the movie is about, I would just like to point out here, that Paul Rudd does and amazingly awesome job here, and its about time hes has his own movie after stealing scenes from all those other ones, he was perfect for this role and to me is the american hugh grant!!!

The movie is about Paul Rudds character, Peter Klaven, finding a best man for his wedding!!! The different thing about this movie is that, Peter is sorted when it comes to finding female companions but has no luck with male bonding and finding platonic male- love! So the movie goes, boy meets boy, boys bond over air-guitaring to Rush music, boys have pretty weird, almost bf and gf like, break up and then the inevitable make up!!! John Hamburg, director of Along Came Polly, does an amazing job with this movie, not only was his casting spot on, the way he wrote it was witty,intelligent and fine tuned. In the hands of another director, the movie could of steered to a more raunchy, akward and boring direction, but Hamburg, makes toasting a blow job at a dinner, infront of the whole family, funny and later on more serious (Peter and his fiance, the hotty from The Office, Rashida Jones, talk about issues in their sex life.) One thing i was sort of half expecting was some deep sort of revelation in the movie, i thought that Sydney, might actually not have any friends and be the one looking for friends himself and i also thought that Hamburg would make Jones's character (the fiance)more annoying and naggy!!!! instead of the supportive best fiance character she played. The movie was fresh and smart and Hamburg never let any joke overstay its welcome..........and i also like how it put romance in the background and concentrated on male friendships and also Peter's gay brother was not the usual tight t-shirted, flamingly annoying stereotype. also Peters voice imitations absolutely hollarious,was it jamaican or was that a leprechaun!!!!!! fu-nny!!!!

I Love You, Man is full of laughs, raunchy but serious, blokey comedy and a must see!!!!
