Review: I Love You, Man

Posted by hhcash - April 10th, 2009


I saw this a long time ago, but I'll write a review anyway.
--------------------------------------

The typical rated-R comedy, a good example being the 40-Year-Old Virgin, features a man who just can't get the ladies, so his friends use tactics to get him hooked up. In I Love You, Man, it seems to be the same premise, except switched around. Peter Klaven, the protagonist, just got engaged to a fine lady. One day, he overhears his fiance, who has many lady friends, talk about how Peter basically doesn't have any friends. His fiance actually says "I think his best friend is his mom". This is when Peter, who has been a ladies man his entire life, realizes he needs to get some guy friends. Oh, and Andy Samburg (The Lonely Island) plays Peter's gay brother.

The film's humor mostly came from awkwardness. If you enjoy people humiliating themselves by being awkward to other characters, you will find this movie to be very funny, because it is mostly delivered well. However, of all the jokes in this movie only resulted in short bursts of laughter in my part.

The rest of the aspects of the film were mediocre. Some scenes seemed to drag on too long, especially the very last scene. Andy Samburg played a terrible gay guy, even though I kind of know it was supposed to be subtle, and he wasn't very funny. Some references were carried on too much, such as the band Rush. And of course, it was very predictable.

Score: 5.5/10
