A funny and heart-warming buddy comedy, that's not for everyone

Rating: 8/10 (11 April 2009)

Peter is a successful real estate agent (Rudd) has found the perfect fiancé. But there's only one thing missing from his life: a guy friend. He's always been a good with women, but horrible with men (and he doesn't have homophobia.) Then he meets Sydney (Segal) at his open house. Sydney puts all the fun back into Peter's life from jam sessions to eating fish tacos. Sadly when Sydney complicates thins between Peter and his fiancé, their friendship breaks apart and the bond they once had is over. However both men realize soon, that they both miss hanging out and learn that friendship is like marriage, and it takes hard work to really connect with each other. A lot of this movie actually works as a comedic and heartfelt buddy comedy. Jason Segal and Paul Rudd (who I really hope won't be a stranger soon) have perfect chemistry, and they should star in every buddy comedy together. This is raunchy, profane, and grossed out but it's actually a great movie about respect, communicating, and being true to not only yourself but to your friends as well. Not many R rated movies are as heartfelt as this anymore, so if you have a best friend and if you're over 16 go out and take a lesson from this movie apart from the content. The real reason why this movie is rated R is because of the really strong language. If they got rid of that and a bit of the sexual slangs, and jokes then it would have been more enjoyable for everyone. Some of the comedy in this movie did seem to be pretty forced and gross out, but yet it's a buddy comedy so you can expect that kind of stuff in a movie like this. I Love You Man is a delightfully funny Bromantic comedy for teenage boys or girls. It could also open up a conversation with your best friend of why Sydney is a good friend, and if you think that your friends are like him. If you aren't a fan of crude and gross out humour or hearing the F Word over 50 times, you will probably want to see another movie. If not, this is on your list.
