I Love You, Man (#22)

Paul Rudd and Jason Segal have great chemistry, in this bromantic comedy. The premise is clever. Rudd plays a newly engaged real estate agent, whose fiancé gets weirded out by the fact that he doesn’t have any real make friends. The role is a little bit of a different flavor for Rudd, who I feel typically plays snarky dudes. Here, he plays a nice guy with a lot of earnestness.  Segal is really enjoyable, and plays the Oscar to Rudd’s Felix.  It’s great to see Rashida Jones, but the script doesn’t give her that much to do.  The rest of the supporting cast is great with a couple of familiar State players putting in funny turns, and Andy Sandberg not being annoying. The plot moves in funny but predictable ways, and really embraces the conventions of a romantic comedy, right down to the relationship crisis at the climax of the movie.
