Friendship; you're not gonna live without it!

Jason Segel, Paul Rudd and that 'R' rating. Apparently, this movie is pretty charming in its own way. Not only because the movie is a romantic comedy, but this movie in fact focuses more into the friendship of 2 men in such a strange and 'cute' way that you wouldn't expect. The main casts do a great job in the movie, delivering laughs one by one until you can't take it anymore. And yes, there are quite a lot of homo-related jokes that somehow I found extremely entertaining (Andy Samberg, yes, you love to flirt with straight guys). In the end, the movie tells us the real value of friendship. It's perhaps the most valuable thing in the world that we can't live without.

Rudd Rules

What I loved most: Paul Rudd

What I really hated: Slow at times

Paul Rudd is the key to this bromantic comedy, and his awkward performance is a real comic gem. It could've been pacier, but it's an entertaining ramble nonetheless, and actually sweet at times. And you gotta love J.J. Simmons' delivery of all his lines.

Comedy of the year

What I loved most: Plot

What I really hated: Barry Mclean

With good actors comes good movie. The duo really drives the movie excellently. With a guy's quest to find a best friend/man really make this a best friend/dude movie. The awkward scenes through the movie really makes it very humorous. I went to watch this movie with the wrong dude makes it abit less funnier.P.S, Jonathan Kolia is a good 'Bad guy' actor.

I Love You, Man

What I loved most: Well-placed comic timing

What I really hated: None

After years of playing second fiddle in Judd Apatow's unique brand of comedies, Paul Rudd finally catapults to leading man status in this mirthful farce on male bonding. His caricature of the straight-laced and uptight Peter Klaven, who constantly lands himself in awkward and embarrassing situations in the company of men, is a hoot. As a result of his impending wedding, he is compelled to become a gregarious individual, engaging in various mandates in hopes of finding a bestman for his wedding after overhearing his fiancee raising concerns over his lack of male companionship. Needless to say, his quest for a bestman leads him to the candid and perceptive Sydney Fife, played with verve and vivacity by a superb Jason Segel. Sydney is refreshingly honest and outrageously rude, carelessly tossing out profanities and cracking ribald jokes with no sense of reserve or propriety, he is in essence the absolute antithesis of Peter's character. Yet, watching those two hitting it off and enjoying their wild escapades together could not have been more enjoyable, with the two leads striking great rapport and comic timing not seen since Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels shared screen time together in 'Dumb and Dumber'. This jaunty caper which pioneers the theme of 'bromance' is a lark in every way, from its sidesplitting one-liners to its frolicsome garage-jamming session, guaranteed to deliver a rollicking good time.
