I LOVE YOU MAN (2009) **** Paul Rudd, Jason Segel, Rashida Jones, Jaime Pressly, Jon Favreau, Sarah Burns, Jane Curtin, J.K. Simmons, Andy Samberg, Rob Huebel. (Cameos as themselves: Rush & Lou Ferrigno) Hysterically funny 'bromantic' comedy about a sweet guy named Peter Klaven (the criminally underrated and dryly uproarious Rudd in finally  a showcase for his wit as a leading man!) who discovers he has no real male friends after getting engaged to his gal, Zooey (the truly supportive in every way possible of the term, Jones) and embarks on finding a 'best man' for the upcoming nuptials, and in the process finds likable lout Sydney Fife (Segel equally funny as the ultimate wingman), who gets the introverted Klaven to loosen up and find his inner dude with some real deliriously funny results. Writer/director John Hamburg is spot-on in depicting how each sex is the same yet different (i.e. in their respective moments of communing with their buds they are equally vulgar) but manages to employ some real heart to the hijinks that his game ensemble accomplishes with brio. One of the funniest comedies of the decade and one of the best of all time; an instant classic.
