I Love You, Man

I've seen I Love You, Man twice since it's release. It is a pretty good movie. There were some moments during the movie where I was laughing so hard that I thought they were going to kick me out of the movie.

The cast was pretty dang good. You have Paul Rudd, Jason Segel, Rashida Jones, Andy Samberg, Jamie Pressly (SOOOOO HOT!!), J.K. Simmons, and Jane Curtin. I am loving Jason Segel. I don't know (still) how I feel about his sitcom How I Met Your Mother. I loved his other recent movie Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Paul Rudd as usual did a fantastic job. I actually think that this is one of his best performances because he has to play a self-doubting, ackward character in the movie. So, it wasn't just being funny for his character. Rashida Jones (from The Office) also did a pretty good job. Her characters are kind of all the same.

The movie is about Peter Klaven (Paul Rudd). Peter asks his girlfriend Zooey (Rashida Jones) to marry him. She says yes. As they start to plan their wedding, Zooey starts to worry that the wedding parties will be uneven because Peter has no real guy friends. Peter overhears Zooey's concern as he eavesdrops on Zooey talking during a girl's night out. The search begins for Peter to find guy friends, and hopefully, a best man (some hilariously awkward moments). Peter's adventures in finding a guy friend bring him accross the path of Sydney Fife (Jason Segel). They instantly hit it off (in the craziest ways, of course). They hit it off so much that Peter and Zooey start to fight over how much time Peter spends with Sydney. Peter has to tell Sydney that he can't hang out anymore because of the strain it is putting on his relationship with Zooey. Zooey has a change of heart and Sydney makes it to the wedding. Happy ending for everyone.

The plot seems a little cheesy (which it is) but the situational comedy is priceless. I almost never see a movie twice in the theaters. So, I recommend I Love You, Man for sure. I just hope that the economy hasn't put such a pinch on your wallett that you can't get out the movie theater and watch it right now. And if it has, isn't it time to loosen up, spend the money, and laugh for an hour and a half. Comedy is priceless right now, you know?

Well, good weekend to you all!
