Peter Klaven just got engaged to be married. Now planning the wedding, he realized that for most of his life, he's been friends mostly with women. And with the wedding coming soon, Peter needs to find a guy best friend so he'll have a best man.
That's the premise of the movie I Love You, Man. My second favorite film of 2009 (Slumdog's first). Anyway, just like the title, I love this movie. It's funny, touching and it's the male equivalent of a chick flick. Yeah it's kinda mushy when it comes to the scenes between Peter and his girlfriend Zooey, but you get alot of insights about being a man as well during scenes where Peter hangs out with Sidney (Jason Segel). I know it kinda sounds like a gay film, but it's not. It may be awkward if you're going to watch this movie with a guy because of the title, but it's kinda like Fight Club only it's not an action film... it's a comedy. And guy-on-guy kissing aside, it's really a macho film.
I really liked this movie, first of all because I kind of can relate to Peter's character wherein I'm closer to women than men. I'm not sporty, more like geeky in a way and I don't have a best friend. Well, that's voluntary. I mean I have a lot of close friends, but I don't want to brand just one person as a best friend. It's kind of unfair to the others who in one point or another shared a good/awesome memory with me. The point is, I see myself in some of the characters in the movie.
It's a very relatable movie because I know everyone goes through this at one point or another wherein a friendship affects the relationship between a guy and his girlfriend. It rings true to a lot of us. Doing some research on the film, I found out that this is from the writer of some of my favorite movies like Meet The Parents and Meet the Fockers. So it kind of is a quality movie.
And one more thing, it's not really boring. It's not a slapstick comedy type of film, and I'd say that this is the type of movie that not everyone will appreciate or like, but it's really funny. It's a guy film but it's not offensive to women. And it stars Paul Rudd and Jason Segel, two really likeable comedians. And then of course there's Rashida Jones and Jaime Pressly which are both eye candies.
I like movies that made me realize things. And this movie made me realize that just like Peter, I don't have that many guy friends. Maybe I need to start going on man-dates to find my BFF (Shet, that's so gay!!!).
