It was kinda bland, man!

Rating: 6/10 (23 September 2009)

When the movie was out in theaters, it was highly praised, and since I kinda like Paul Rudd since "The 40 Year Old Virgin", I was eager to rent the DVD. Then I saw the film, but I was a bit disappointed. I liked it, but something was missing, although I don't know what exactly. I guess this is because the chemistry between Rudd and Segel didn't work that good for me, added to the fact that I hate those silly, absurd nicknames. It was just too much, especially at the wedding at the end. Although I basically like them, those Apatow-like comedies always with the same actors, playing the same characters having the same upper class life in the same region of the US, it just gets repetitive in the end. The characters end up lacking depth, and the chemistry tend to become bland. That kind of flick really needs to bring something new to rise above the others, and I think "I Love You, Man" failed at that. So I'll just give it a 6, which is the average note I give movies, 8 being my maximum. Because you just cannot give 10/10 to a work of art, no matter how you love it.
