I don't know what film other reviewers were watching but I don't think it was this one!This film is AWFUL from beginning to end. It is a very slowly drawn out torturous film with an extremely boring storyline and nothing funny about it or in it whatsoever,Some of the acting is OK from the supporting cast but the main cast is just vacuous trite and unbelievable - in every way.It is so boring I really can't think of anything that is worth mentioning about the film. It looks like a made for TV factory production where even the lighting is as artificial and boring as the rest of it.

I Love You, Man (2009): Dir: Paul Rudd, Jason Segel, Rashida Jones, Andy Samberg, Lou Ferrigno: Insightful comedy about male bonding. Paul Rudd plays a bachelor who proposes to his girlfriend only to learn that he has no real male friends. Since he needs a best man he sets out to find potential buddies and realizes quickly that it isn't easy. Enter Jason Segel whom he meets at an open house event and develops a somewhat risky friendship. Fine concept renders to formula and predictable storytelling. Directed by John Hamburg who also made Along Came Polly, which also deals with friendship encounters and the struggle to maintain them. Rudd plays off the struggle of male bonding but we know the outcome and that he will get married and Segel will be right there even after his umpteenth screw up. Segel steals the show as his obnoxious friend whose lifestyle and attitude finds trouble wherever he goes. Andy Samberg steals scenes as Rudd's gay brother who works at a gym. Unfortunately Rashida Jones is underwritten as Rudd's fiancé. She is basically there to reassure Rudd and stand veiled and ready on wedding day. Lou Ferrigno makes an appearance as himself and ends up in a fight with Segel. Although it can be seen as a chick flick, it still holds appeal to male viewers with its theme. It is an ideal comedy about forming lasting friendships. Score: 6 ½ / 10

I really do like Buddy Movies or Comedy like Grown Ups, Yes Man etc. Usually those can give you a good time. I also expected the same from this movie. This movie has a Buddy Story, but there's also a little love movie in it. So based on the trailer it should be a promising movie. But unfortunately the movie does not reach his full potential. It's not the best performance of Paul Rudd and the Character of Jason Segel which at first seems deep and interesting misses to develop. The movie has a great start with good laughs but after 20 Minutes it can't raise the story any more. The best parts of the movie are the first 15 minutes as well as the last 15 minutes. In between the potential is unused.

I rate I Love You man a 9, plain and simple. It has been one of my favorite movies since it came out. The movie goes into a world of subculture not usually seen in movies. A story of a successful man who has everything going for him except a real friend. The entire cast was amazing. From the beginning till the end, I Love You Man tells a story of a hedero-couple who builds a relationship from scratch. It is very funny and keeps you laughing the entire ride. The location in which it is filmed is beautiful and interesting. For all the fans out there of this cast this is truly a classic to add to the film collection. From Paul Rudd to Lou Ferigno, I Love You Man shows an interesting side of each character away from their norm.
