Relies On Chemistry Between Segel and Rudd

Rating: 7/10 (18 October 2014)

"I love you man"
Plot In A Paragraph: Peter Klaven (Paul Rudd) is delighted when his girlfriend Zooey (Rashinda Jones) accepts his marriage proposal, however he his horrified to hear her friends calling him "Friendless" upon realising he doesn't actually have any close friends, he goes on a series of man-dates to find a Best Man for his wedding. This proves disastrous until a chance meeting with Sydney (Jason Segel)
I felt this movie took a while to get going, and that was mainly due to the fact that it took about thirty minutes for Segel's character to be introduced. There was one genuine laugh out loud moment prior to his first appearance. The movie picks up massively once his character is introduced, and the laughs come thicker and faster.
The movie relies heavily on the chemistry between the two actors, and I'm surprised that as if yet they have not worked together again. Whilst Rashinda Jones is very attractive, I found her acting awkward and unconvincing. J.K Simmons was a lot of fun as Rudd's dad as was Jamie Presly as Jones's best friend. The same can not be said for Jon Favareu. I' a fan of his, but I have never seen him so annoying.
Overall it's a predictable silly movie, but I enjoyed a lot of it, especially once Segel came in to it.
