Movie Review - I Love You, Man

I Love You, Man

Before the movie, I went into the cinema not knowing what to expect. I thought it would be some kind of cheap flick or some typical Hollywood romance movie or some kind of melodrama. I was wrong.

Movie Synopsis

I Love You, Man, is a comedy about Peter Klaven (Paul Rudd) a very successful real estate agent who, upon getting engaged to the woman of his dreams, Zooey, (Rashida Jones) discovers, to his dismay, that he has no male friend close enough to serve as his Best Man. Peter immediately sets out, embarking on a series of bizarre and awkward man-dates, before meeting Sydney Fife (Jason Segel), a charming, opinionated man with whom he instantly bonds. But the closer the two men get, the more Peter’s relationship with Zooey suffers, ultimately forcing him to choose between his fiancée and his new found buddy.

Movie Review

An entertaining comedy flick that is bound to bring up many laughter throughout the entire movie. This is a movie that will certainly not bore you out during any part of the movie. However there are some scenes, based on the theme of homosexuality, which some viewers might get uncomfortable about. For example, there’s a French kissing between Peter Klaven and Doug at the end of a dinner date.

However the plot is good, depicting real life problems that people face, but still managing to keep a sense of humour in the movie. It teaches one the importance of having close friends and shows us the many things that friends do for each other. Overall, I would recommend it to everybody who wants to watch a movie with a decent storyline and yet is out to have a good laugh.

Overall rating - 3.5 / 5
