And I Love Paul Rudd, Too.

That's right. I Love You, Man was the first movie on my agenda tonight.

Very funny comedy from over the pond. You've got Paul Rudd, a semi-regular for two seasons on Friends, and co-star of 2008's Role Models. And Jason Segel, regular in "Friends replacement" sitcom, How I Met Your Mother, and co-star of the hilarious Forgetting Sarah Marshall. What more could you ask for?!

In terms of plot, other than a bit of role reversal, it's nothing you haven't seen before. It's basically the guys answer to an romcom. Instead of guy wants gal, guy finds gal, relationship goes to Hell, everything's okay in the end really, we have, guy wants a buddy, guy finds a buddy, buddy messes it up, but everything's okay in the end really. Sound lame? A little... But so what? It's a silly comedy movie that'll have you laughing continually for an hour and forty minutes. It's all it's for, and it achives that pretty much to perfection.

There's not much else to say really. It's a comedy movie, and it makes you laugh. A lot. I always struggle to review comedy. To me, with comedy, if it's funny, it's great, if it's not, it sucks. I don't look much further, unless it's by Edgar Wright in which case, there's not enough praise to be given for the technical side of things.

So, verdict, you ask?! If you want a few cheap laughs for 100 minutes, don't miss it.
