I Love You, Man

Review: 'I Love You, Man" is a romantic comedy with a twist. The main relationship is the platonic friendship of two straight men. When Peter Klavin realizes he has no close friends he goes on a mission to find a best man for his wedding and stumbles into a friendship with Sydney. The film pairs the always likable Paul Rudd with Jason Segel for the third time. The film is written and directed by John Hamburg who also wrote 'Meet the Parents' and 'Zoolander', so the film had a lot in it's favor and it delivers. There is nothing groundbreaking in the execution and the plot doesn't have much to it, but the film is consistently funny. Rudd and Segel have a good comedic chemistry and just watching them fool around together is enjoyable. While it's not going to be the best comedy of the year, it also doesn't disappoint. It gets the laughs in.
Rating: 4/5
