REVIEWS FOR I LOVE YOU, MAN
One of the funniest movies in a long time.
Jul 6, 2010
It's a solid entry in the we're-guys-who-are-kinda-sorta-maybe-growing-up-but-maybe-not genre, but when tedium threatens to take over the cast steps in and keeps it consistently funny from start to finish.
Jul 6, 2010
Rudd and Segel, who both appeared in Knocked Up and Forgetting Sarah Marshall, make a fine comic duo, clearly two different types but not one-dimensional stock characters.
Jul 6, 2010
The dude looking for a good grossout will be disappointed.
Jul 6, 2010
A mellow, Zen-like vibe trickles through this otherwise raunchy buddy comedy...
Jun 30, 2010
With discussions of music, relationships, aging and growing up, it acts like a latter-day Lemmon - Matthau comedy, with a sadness underneath that makes it authentic.
Nov 18, 2009
...the movie possesses a stagnant feel that inevitably diminishes its overall impact.
Nov 1, 2009
Rudd creates a likably, uniquely quirky and hilariously adorkable character that would be unthinkable played by anyone else.
Sep 7, 2009
The chemistry between leading men Paul Rudd and Jason Segel is fantastic and the setup, although slightly ridiculous, yields a mother lode of comedic situations.
Aug 30, 2009
Nothing much is ever really at stake, and though it's never really hysterical, it's pretty much constantly amusing.
Aug 20, 2009
"I Love You, Man" is going to make a lot of guys squirm, but only those who are uncomfortable with their own masculinity. Why can't guys talk about masturbating? Now, maybe they can.
Aug 18, 2009
With a better script, this movie could have been REALLY funny, instead of moderately so. Paul Rudd definitely has a gift for comic acting.
Aug 12, 2009
What is impressive about Hamburg's screenplay (co-written with John Levin) is the way it explores the complexities of modern, grown-up friendships, and especially the awkwardness of making new friends in middle age, while still retaining a bracing sense o
Aug 10, 2009
It's a smart comedy with plenty of broad, outrageous moments to keep things light.
Aug 1, 2009
Despite its continual profanity and sexual references, it isn't particularly offensive, just mostly forgettable.
Jul 29, 2009
[Segel's] performance here is loose and confident and very attractive. His star is rising.
Jun 12, 2009
Rudd ... is perfectly cast -- no actor this side of Hugh Grant is more comfortable getting flustered.
Jun 12, 2009
Ends up feeling like a tossed-off Judd Apatow photocopy.
Jun 8, 2009
In less sure hands this parade of oddities could have become tiresome. Which only makes Rudd's central performance more impressive, holding the entire edifice together by sheer force of personality.
