I Love You, Man (2009)

Why so much hype?

Simply Perfect

Best movie of this year hands down!

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

One glance at the poster and one could expect this to be way too obvious from the getgo.Of course, it absolutely is a totally mainstream, formatted comedy with conform Hollywood structure and a comedy spoonfed to the audience with an obvious moral at the end...etc... but exactly in that regard, it's not as bad as it "should've been".It actually does surprisingly well at developing itself very quickly for the setup at the end. This film's goal was to create a strong relationship between two friends, and have the ending carry meaning and feel the right way in just 1hr45, which isn't an easy task even for formulaic Hollywood.It's actually funnier than expected, with some genuinely funny moments and secondary characters, and although it's not as powerful as the title claims, it's still solid and a fun watch that isn't boring at any particular moment.7/10.

I'm one of the few straight guys who watches Jennifer, Sandra and Julia. I know, i know... So it is not surprising that i can relate to the main character in this remarkable fresh yet very cliché romantic comedy....about guys!! And what kind of guys? Well, guys you rarely see in American comedies. In the Netherlands, where i live, this 'in-touch-with-his-feelings/women' kind of guy is much more mainstream, but in America Hollywood has a tendency to exploit the idea of the typical male and typical female. There is a tendency to split the female and male world to the extreme. And that is not reality.This movie deals with a normal guy with normal feminine features. Unfortunaltely, also in this movie, these features are exaggerated. Same with his girlfriends female friends. So in the first half hour this movie seems to head for the cliché comedy but then Jason Segel's character appears and the movie is saved. Not only a gifted actor but also a character that is going to give the premise of this movie it's 'right of existence'. The Segels character is interesting because he is in touch with his female side but..a real cave-man, which makes him the perfect teacher for our troubled main character. He is the only one who forgives his friend all his well-intended but very irritating attempts to fit in. Through his eyes we see the main character struggling with the universal theme of 'be just yourself'. The movie is good for normal guys, living in the states who really think that males portrayed in mainstream Hollywood are men that women will date and marry.. Because i think they don't. The movie is also good for those men who have female friends and are accused of being gay. The movie is also good for those women who think that they have to change a man (all women do unfortunately, except for my girlfriend. Thank you sweetheart) and the movie is above all good for those men who have a troubled relationship with the 'inner cave-man'.a funny tale and rehabilitation of the homey cave-man!

I really enjoy this movie. I am a huge fan of Jason Segel and Paul Rudd, so I was definitely excited to watch a movie starring both of them. They work really well together on-screen and they have really good chemistry.In this movie, Peter Klaven is getting married, but realizes he doesn't really have any friends, and he needs a best man. So he goes on the hunt for a best friend. When he finds Sydney they begin to have a really good friendship. But then Zooey, Peter's fiancé, believes they're spending too much time together and that Sydney is a bad influence on Peter. Then stuff goes down.Overall, I give this movie a 9 out of 10, which in my ratings book is: Amazing.

this movie is very enjoyable, not only because of the outstanding performance of the actors and a unique, but humorous storyline, but also because it is so much more than what meets the eye. it portrays the true value of real friendship along with true love.also, the humor supplied by Jason Segel is simply priceless. this is one movie that you will definitely enjoy watching over and over again. Paul Rudd plays the role of an average Joe very genuinely. the countless hours spent at the 'man- cave', along with rush sons will certainly adhere to anyone with a good movie taste. this is one of the few movies without slapstick humor and cheap jokes. movies like these come out very rarely, and it is certainly one of segel's best.
