Men Loving Men available


On Tuesday "I Love You Man," became available for purchase. The movie stars Paul Rudd and Jason Segel, as two dudes who are essentially on a quest towards becoming BFFs.
I haven't seen the movie since it came out, so i'll do a better review later, but for now i'll offer a few thoughts.
The movie is sweet, but still violently funny. There are some parts that don't make sense, like Rashida Jones' insane mood swings, but whatever. The film drags at parts, but that's an acceptable consequence of these Apatow-esque films.
J.K. Simmons is hilarious as Rudd's dad and Andy Samberg is amusing as Rudd's gay brother. Samberg actually spurs a hilarious storyline early on, when Rudd is trying to find a best friend, by setting him up on a man date that is much more romantic than Rudd planned.
This is an unrelated side note, but once again Simmons confirms the fact that he can excel in any role. Actually, his wife is pretty funny too, former SNL star Jane Curtin.

Best line; Sydney Fife (Segel): This is my nightmare!
