SXSW Review: I Love You, Man
Cinematical —
... I Love You, Man is a sweet, amusing, and perfectly acceptable comedy all around, but it's exciting because it marks the point where Rudd finally begins to stake out his territory as a comedian and a leading man. As Peter Klaven, the happy and level-headed real estate agent who discovers, upon proposing to his girlfriend of eight months, that his total lack of guy friends will result in an all-female wedding party if he doesn't act fast, Rudd combines a nice-guy earnestness with a simmering nervous energy - he's like a less sarcastic Albert Brooks or a ...

The Reality of 'I Love You, Man'

... up tension. Dramatic twists are so tenuous that, as a moviegoing public, we have to rely on certain assumptions: Someone will do something really stupid. Someone will overreact. Egos will get in the way. Some realization will miraculously make things change. And of course, relationships are only solid so long as the script warrants it -- when drama is needed, that family tie, friendship, or romance will fall like a house of cards. I took all of those assumptions into I Love You, Man, and missed on every one. Filed under: Comedy, Scripts ...

Spin-ematical: New on DVD for 8/11
Cinematical —
I Love You, Man Bro-mance, schmo-mance, this is a funny movie, centered by a very good performance by Paul Rudd as a befuddled "ladies' man" in search of a best man for his upcoming wedding to Rashida Jones. He starts awkwardly 'man dating' until he stumbles across the happy-go-lucky bachelor Jason Segal, and an unlikely triangle is formed. "A sweet, amusing, and perfectly acceptable comedy all around," wrote Eugene Novikov. Also on Blu-ray. Buy it.

Cinematical Seven: Unexpectedly Bromantic Movies
Cinematical —
... I Love You, Man comes out on DVD and Blu-ray today, and it's a light-hearted if quickly forgettable movie that squarely defines "bromance," which has quickly become one of the marketing industry's favorite terms. It's a word that's come to describe camaraderie between men on screen when "friends" just won't cut it. We're not talking about Brokeback Mountain levels of love between males here, but something just south of it. ...
