I kind of like you I Love You Man

"I Love You, Man" is a decent movie. You know everything that's going to happen, and you'll smile and laugh a plenty. Will this film win Academy Awards? Naw. Will this film be heavily quoted by dudes throwing hatchets out in the woods? Nope. Is this film a perfect hybrid raunchy comedy and date night movie? Absolutely.

The relationship between Peter (Rudd) and Zooey (Rashida Jones) is the strongest part of the film. It feels real, they are happy together, have small fights, and most importantly feel like a authentic couple with all-to familar problems.

Segal and Rudd are funny, but the film lacks that complete knock it out of the park laughs that "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" had. There is one bodily function related gag that hits hard, but thankfully there is only one. Anymore would have detracted from the romantic aspects of the whole package.

So yeah, if you've got a gal, I'd hit up this movie for a good date. Otherwise, if you are trying to "bro" out with your boys, grab some beers and watch "Punisher War-Zone" with your boys on DVD. Peep the steelo below

I love you, man, cause you're my friend, and this is a friendship, not a bromance

First, off, what's with the pink border on this photo, very un bro.....brah. Anyway much has been made about how the new movie "I Love You, Man" is just a part of the "bromance" trend chugging and hugging it's way through popular culture. There's the show "Bromance," every single Judd Apatow movie, and of course "I Love You, Man."  But I say that this all is bullshit.

Bromance is just a word created by the media for friendship. What is a bromance? I don't know. I guess it's dudes that like to hang out together. If that's true, I guess I've been a participant in bromance every since I used to eat Dunkaroos regulate on fools while playing "Battletoads" and "Contra" with  my buddies in my youth.

And while I'm at it. This show "Bromance" is not about bros, it's about hollywood tools. Real bro's don't make TV shows about each other, they do cool things, like throw hatchets in trees, watch Arnold movies, and crush beers. There is no room for hair gel with bros. Here's a  bro rule, if you spent more than 20 bones on your haircut, you're dangerously close to no bro territory.

The film "I Love You, Man" does a pretty good job of showing friendship, but I'll hit on that tomorrow in my reviews, later......bro.
