Plots(1)
After becoming engaged to Zooey (Rashida Jones), the woman of his dreams, estate agent Peter Klaven (Paul Rudd) realises to his horror that he has no male friend close enough to be his best man at the wedding. Peter embarks on a series of bizarre and awkward 'man-dates' until he meets Sydney Fife (Jason Segel), with whom he instantly bonds. But the closer the two men get, the more Peter's relationship with Zooey suffers, until he is finally forced to choose between his fiancée and his new best friend. (Paramount Pictures AU)

I Love You, Man is a pleasant movie that lies someplace halfway between the traditionally shallow Hollywood mainstream (Hitch) and the likeably earnest, no-punch-pulling Judd Apatow (Forgetting Sarah Marshall). And that’s only thanks to Jason Segel and a few good screenwriting ideas.

Segel and Rudd are harmonious and convincing, the situation is appropriately awkward, and even though in the end it has the same stupid outpourings that can be found in forgettable love comedies, the slight subversion makes them bearable. Although I Love You, Man pokes fun at family members, the fact remains that the film could have made fun of itself a bit more...
