I really liked the premise for the movie. Turns the traditional, seeking a wife narrative, into seeking a best man, which I thought was just great. The cast is definitely a who's who of comedic talent, but I felt like a lot of the jokes and humorous situations didnt quite land. The story was good but the direction could have been better as the acting wasnt up to par for many of the stars. Overall, I found this to be an enjoyable and likeable bromance who, despite some flaws, had its heart in the right place.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

I remember watching this in high school when it came out. It was great and hilarious and and still is now. I highly recommend anyone that enjoys comedy to watch. And it surprisingly has a nice plot behind it.

[Segel's] performance here is loose and confident and very attractive. His star is rising.

Rudd ... is perfectly cast -- no actor this side of Hugh Grant is more comfortable getting flustered.

Deep Focus Review

I Love You, Man administers a welcomed sense of authenticity that will keep you reflecting on its appeal long after leaving the theater.

Rated: 3.5/4

Mike Massie

Gone With The Twins

The plot offers virtually no surprises, and its formulaic approach to a fairly unique perspective on the awkward humor of male bonding doesn't help the film's impact.

Rated: 5/10
