A highly enjoyable film
No blockquotes, but Bro Namath and Bro Montana pretty much had me ROFL. The Rush scenes were also great.

I’m definitely looking forward to seeing it this week. Of course I’m always Rushified.

I liked the movie and found it quite enjoyable. I wouldn’t say it’s a stupid one, especially compared to the usual fare that’s released these days. It’s solid but I don’t know if I’d watch it again.

Not my kind of movie but the SF Chronicle loved it. Gave this their highest rating.

solid movie. kind of convinced me that Paul Rudd should only be a supporting character, not a leading man, because the interactions with Karen Phillipelli (or whatever her non-Office name was) were kind of painful sometimes… but still, I laughed a lot. and really, when I go to see a comedy, that’s what I want.

I agree. Rudd is too much the supporting, comic relief, sarcastic-type. Dude should stick to the type of role he played in “40 Year Old Virgin”.
Don’t get me wrong, I think he’s hilarious, but not enough of a presence to maintain a leading role.

That being said I think he was perfect for this role

I just don’t buy the guy in the “nice” role. He’s really good at being sarcastic; affable, not so much. He needs to milk what he’s got goin’ right now in all the Apatow flicks for all its worth.

Rudd pulled the awkward, nice guy role down to a T
I know guys just like his character in this movie, and you avoid them as much as you can.

Awesome
Jason Segal (the guy from How I Met Your Mother) steals the show IMO…
Jonathan Sanchez. He's left-handed, like Barry Zito. His fastball breaks 80, unlike Zito.

A buddy of mine wants to see it. “We got to go see it this weekend!” Me: “So, we’re going to have a man-date about a movie about man-dates? I think we’re crossing that fine line.” But it’s a movie my wife won’t see, so…. yeah. Man-date!
Don't think, it could only hurt the ballclub.

be careful of the awkward
reach for the popcorn at the same time and the hands accidently touch. right about that time a barry manilow song will come on, your eyes meet. its a magical moment.

I saw it with my buddy, and we both thought it was awful. They just overdid the awkward attempts at slang/catchphrases/etc. by Paul Rudd. The “slapping the bass” part was watch-glance inducing.
Segel was decent in it, as was Dangle from Reno 911. Rudd is just starting to wear me down, though.

This is why I haven’t gone to see it yet. Okay, I’ve had enough. Please stop doing the same thing over and over again and get in line behind Will Ferrel and Jack Black in waiting for it to be your turn again.

Fifty Dollar Ice Cream
Before we saw the movie, my wife went next door to Cold Stone Creamery to get an ice cream. I wanted to break a fifty so I gave it to her and went inside the theater. She lost the change. That better have been the best ice cream she ever ate!! Outside of that, I really liked the movie. I agree that Segel steals the movie. Some good people were wasted there though, like Jamie Pressley and Andy Samberg.

I really liked...
Segel’s Thelonious Monk and John Coltrane t-shirts. Coupled with the fact that his character is a big Rush fan, that tells me he is musically “literate” and should be respected.

WTF

the Judd Apatow crowd is kicking ass right now ...
40 Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Superbad, and now I Love You, Man
somehow these movies constantly stay different from most of the rest of Hollywood’s crap – in fact, they all include cultural commentary often making fun of the rest of Hollywood’s crap – I’d give I Love You, Man a 4 out of 5 just for keeping the tradition
It had a main social satirical point (the effeminate metro-sexual straight guys our feminized culture is producing, how bad they suck, and why regular, masculine guy behavior/friendship is not only ok, but kinda necessary for your life not to blow) and at the same time managed to stay completely hilarious
Favorite scenes -
- every single scene with Jon Favreau (playing the man’s man character who absolutely hates Rudd’s guts the whole time – you can feel his hatred seeping out of him every scene they’re in together)
- being stuck having to play golf with the girls
- Jason Segel’s toast
- Rudd’s realization that “I need to get some f—king friends.”
