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

Movie Preview @ The Cathay

Attended the movie preview of I Love You, Man today at The Cathay. Very excited as this is the first time I got invited to do a movie review! Lol! I brought Mandy along as my partner, hope she enjoyed the movie too. (",)



Met her at Yishun Mrt Station and we took train down to Dhoby Ghuat. Was very hungry so I suggested that we have dinner first and so we headed to the food court upstairs at Plaza Singapura. It was super crowded and the stall that I wanted to eat from has a super duper long queue. So I had to drop the idea and settled for something else instead or we will be late for the movie. We took turns to buy before tucking in our dinner quick. After dinner, we rushed over to The Cathay, where the movie preview was held.




On our way there I saw these dinosaur exhibitions at level one and was pretty amazed by it and so I took some photos of it. Lol! Faint!

Upon arrival at The Cathay, we were almost late due to the huge crowd waiting for the lift. Luckily for us, we managed to squeeze in one of the lifts after waiting for 4 lifts. After signing beside my name at their record-sheet, we were presented with the movie tickets as well as 2 OMY lanyards as souvenirs. The person-in-charge then requested to take a photo of us and we agreed, only to get her to return us the favour later. Lol!




The movie was great, the hall was so packed, leaving only a few seats in the first row empty. Stay tuned for my movie review later in the morning!

After movie I sent her home before cabbing to meet Boss to accompany him for supper as he was not feeling well. Daniel joined us too. After supper they both walked me home. Hope Boss can recover soon as he have been sick for nearly a week liao.

Lunch with Tim tomorrow! Cant wait! (",)

Chalet at Downtown East

Last Sunday, we cabbed down to downtown east for Tricia's chalet. We were there early so we went up to the cafe we went last time to wait for Carol and Daniel. Then Nicholas suggest that we should have a FC's meeting.

After that we went to NTUC to buy food stuffs and drinks for them. Really super duper heavy, but we all share share take so ok. We reached the chalet and started bbq-ing. Nicholas spent the whole night cooking while the rest chit chat and mingle with each other.



Look at Geraldine's dog. his name is gary and they call him 曹格. Lol! So cute right? The food was ok, the company's great but we had to leave early due to some problems. End up I didnt get to take photo in a group as everyone wasnt in a good mood.







Just want to apologise, I really hope I didnt ruin the whole chalet. Sighs! Thanks to Tricia, Geraldine, Joey and Jiemin for the invite and the wonderful night. Anyway, I didnt take much photos because my handphone cam the flash not very strong and Tricia they all camera shy.

I know Boss went down with Mandy and Daniel on Monday's night. Heard that they enjoy themselves there with the rest of them. Happy to know that! (",)

Anyway, I m invited to a movie preview at The Cathay by OMY (a website under Singapore Press Holding). I m bringing Mandy to the movie preview this round. If next round, I have a chance to go for movie preview, I will invite another person to go with me.
