DVD Review: ”I LOVE YOU MAN” Score B++

A delightful buddy comedy away from the mold of a sappy romantic comedy and into the new genre of a bro-mance film. I enjoyed this one a lot more than I thought I would. There are some really funny moments supplied readily from both Rudd (with his awkward character improv) and from Segal who brings a couple outlandish breaks along with sincere acting. Overall the chemistry with these two is great. Both of these guys deliver honest acting moments and deliver real down to earth relate-able characters. The writing is crisp and clear and this one doesn't lag at all. The story is simple enough, newly engaged Realtor Peter (Rudd) has no real male friends so he seeks one out, failed "man dates" flop and he meets a nice guy Sydney (Segal) at an open house he is holding. They hit it off and begin hanging together, which his fiance doesn't care much for. The guys split and in traditional happy ending make up by the end. Along the way this film is filled with little moments of funny that are intertwined in what are real life moments. Its a great film actually..its funny and leaves you feeling good.
