Review of I Love You, Man (2009) by Danb — 20 May 2009

It may have jokes that high-class movie snobs won't love, but the charm of this film is irresistible to anyone else. Rudd's awkwardness is reminiscent of the feeling I get whenever I watch Carrell on The Office, and it's done just as well here.

It sometimes seems as if some of Rudd's more awkward lines were improv rather than originally being in the script. The movie's about letting go of social handicapps, so if you can't be comfortable with (hilarious even if you don't want to admit it) jokes based on homosexuality, projectile-vomiting, and dog poop, then either loosen up or don't watch the movie.

If you love this movie as much as I did, you'll be quoting Rudd's hilarious socially-inept comments for a while.
