[Segel's] performance here is loose and confident and very attractive. His star is rising.

Rudd ... is perfectly cast -- no actor this side of Hugh Grant is more comfortable getting flustered.

I Love You, Man administers a welcomed sense of authenticity that will keep you reflecting on its appeal long after leaving the theater.

Gone With The Twins

The plot offers virtually no surprises, and its formulaic approach to a fairly unique perspective on the awkward humor of male bonding doesn't help the film's impact.

Rated: 5/10

Audience Member Can't recommend this really at all. The humor was not funny, it was lazy and inappropriate. Rashida Jones was the lone bright spot. Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/26/24 Full Review Jace E Oh man, I wanted to love this movie. Ever since "I Love You, Man" was released, I have wanted to watch it. Paul Rudd, Jason Segal, Rashida Jones, Jon Favreau, JK Simmons, Andy Samberg, Rob Huebel, the list goes on and on of hilarious actors in this movie. Unfortunately, it just didn't do it for me. There were a few moments where I had a few laughs, but for the most part I just didn't connect with the movie. I loved Sydney's character at first and then he just got tiresome. I'll just go back to watching "How I Met Your Mother" instead.Best Character: PeterBest Quote: "You got it, Joben" - PeterBest Scene: Trying to find a Best ManWatch filtered on VidAngel Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/16/24 Full Review Chris F I would not say it is peak humor of the late 2010s era, but it still has quite a few laughs. Both leads are great. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/27/24 Full Review Michael J This, forgetting Sarah Marshall, and wedding crashers. You’ll thank me after a perfect night (or weekend). One of the best. Side note - watch euro trip as well Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/09/24 Full Review Nathan W I really liked the premise for the movie. Turns the traditional, seeking a wife narrative, into seeking a best man, which I thought was just great. The cast is definitely a who's who of comedic talent, but I felt like a lot of the jokes and humorous situations didnt quite land. The story was good but the direction could have been better as the acting wasnt up to par for many of the stars. Overall, I found this to be an enjoyable and likeable bromance who, despite some flaws, had its heart in the right place. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/25/24 Full Review Aaron B I remember watching this in high school when it came out. It was great and hilarious and and still is now. I highly recommend anyone that enjoys comedy to watch. And it surprisingly has a nice plot behind it. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/02/24 Full Review Read all reviews
