I Love You Man is what you get when you seek the middle ground of a romantic comedy and crude slapstick film.
It has a hilarious variety of characters that don't fit into any typical stereotype.
There are plenty of one line zingers that will stay with you for weeks, I just hope your friends don't get easily annoyed.
The plot is simple. Peter Klaven (Paul Rudd) is getting married to his beautiful finance Zooey (Rashida Jones), but he doesn't have any buds to fill as his best man. So Peter goes on man dates to find his male soul mate. Peter meet Sydney Fife at an open house Peter puts on to sell Lou Ferrigno's home (its never established what Sydney does for a living). After some confusion about standard man to man protocol Peter's relationship with his fiancé is jeopardized. He will have to choose between his BFF or life partner. I wasn't sure what to expect of the best man's intentions, but the story pretty much goes through how you would expect.
I would generally recommend this film if you enjoy silly comedies and plan on spending the night with friends.
I just don't understand Hollywood's recent obsession with Rush...
