In I Love You, Man, Peter Klaven (Paul Rudd) is a successful real estate agent who, upon getting engaged to the woman of his dreams, Zooey (Rashida Jones), 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 (Jason Segel), 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.This movie was hysterical. I don't think that I've ever seen social awkwardness portrayed in a funnier way. Paul Rudd was so spot on with his uncomfortableness. His stumbling over his words when trying to say something clever when ending a conversation was priceless. Jason Segel was a perfect match for him in these scenes with his straight faced "what?" responses. This movie also featured awesome supporting roles. Jamie Pressley and Jon Favreau were hilarious as another couple in the movie. The quirky man-date actors that kept showing up throughout the movie were hilarious. Adam Sanberg, JK Simmons and Jane Curtain were also awesome as Paul Rudd's family. Perhaps the best part of this movie, was that they didn't push the envelope in terms of sex sight gags that I feel is killing most comedies that come out. There were one or two conversations that were sexually blunt, but they were done in a way that was still funny and didn't cross in to nasty/gross and it made it seem that much more real.
I fully recommend that everyone get out there and see this movie. It was filled with huge laughs and I cannot wait for the blooper reel on the DVD.
