Cast:

Plot: A soon to be married man, Peter Klaven is struggling to find a best man as he never really had any male friends. Klaven must find a best man before his wedding turns into a disaster.

Review: You want to talk about bromance? We got your bromance right here.

Sydney Fife, played by Jason Segal and Peter Klaven, played by Paul Rudd, are the epitomy of what a bromance is, and is supossed to be. Some movies have gotten it wrong, even though they've put in strong efforts. Without this bromance, this movie goes straight to movie hell. Down there with Showgirls and Aeon Flux and those kind of movies.

Paul Rudd as Peter Klaven is your typical Rudd performance. He gives the subtle comments that are funny and even adds in some outrageous moments, silly scenes and even some of those uncomfortable moments added into his comedic repertoire. Of course without Sydney Fife, the Peter Klaven character isn't alive or fun. Fife brings out the best and worst of Peter and it's what makes the movie great.

There are a couple of background characters but they aren't as strongly featured. You have Peter's Fiancée, Zooey who is both loving and damn funny with Peter. You have Peter's gay brother Robbie, played by the hilarious Andy Samberg, who tries to set Peter on man dates to find his best man for his wedding. And a man is probably apart of the funniest scene in the film, Lonnie played by Joe Lo Truglio, who seemingly has a horrible voice cracking problem.

The story is definitely unique and out there and it's a funny story to tell. There is a slight blend of comedy and drama, but enough comedy that this doesn't become too much of a sleeper or sob story.

I Love you, man is more than a serviceable or solid comedy. It's comedy with many memorable moments and some of the better characters featured in a comedy movie. That is why it is Number 4 on the list of the greatest comedies in recent years.

Rating: 4 out of 5
