I Love You, Man

This movie is about a very short man named Paul Rudd who is getting married, but it turns out he really has no guy friends so who is going to be his best man?!? Well I don't know, how about his fucking brother? But I guess then the movie would only be ten minutes long. As it stands, it feels like it's ten hours long, thanks to endless adlibbing after each and every scene was obviously supposed to end. Look, America, you're better than the comedies you've been putting out lately, ok, and we're never going to get out of this recessiamabob if you don't buck up and produce some laughter, capice (Italian for broseph)?

RATING: 47%

Thanks, Glenn. For a minute there, I thought I was the only one who thought that American comedies really suck as of late. I largely point to Seth Rogen and Judd Apatow, who are reasonably funny up to a point, but are not the geniuses everybody seems to think they are.
In a country where Dane "King of All Fratboy Douchebags" Cook is the most successful comedian, though, what should we expect?

I can't even bear to watch the trailer for this movie and I have no idea how you made it through the whole thing.

Also, one of my dating deal breakers is "no friends," as in I do not date men that have no friends (because there is probably a good reason he has no friends, right?). What is lady (who I'm sure is way to hot to be actually marrying Paul Rudd) doing marrying a guy that has no friends?

(Ok deal breaker is probably a strong term. But at the very least it's a big red flag.)

I refuse to see it because I still enjoy watching Jason Segel.

And American comedies do suck right now, but who's doing any better/ever done comedies right anyway?

(Hint: the answer is not the British)

Brain Candy, Bon Cop, Bad Cop, The Wrong Guy- Chris, you'll be laughing!!!

Also, from over the pond, Shaun of the Dead and Waking Ned (Devine) are more than worth watching.

Happy viewing!

My favorite part of the movie was when they gave Paul Rudd's fiance that self-tanning intervention.

LoCo said...

Fiancee, ok John? I meant Fiancee.

LoCo said...

omg nevermind i am the worst

John said...

I like Seth Rogen, although I haven't seen Pineapple Express. Fat Canadians are where the party's at.

Chris said...

You're right. Shaun of the Dead is a great movie.

And Canadians do rock when it comes to comedy. It's gotta be something, right?

Chris said...

And when I mentioned Canadians I was referring to Kids in The Hall.

John said...

@ Loco
It's fiancée. I imagine "fiancee" is a phonetic rendition of how someone from Michigan would describe floral print toilet paper.

Chris - Watch Death at a Funeral. No joke the funniest thing I've seen in years. The Brits still have it.
