It's a hilarious comedy made even more successful because so much of the satire seems fresh.
Apatow became the hottest comedy director in the business by seamlessly combining relationship comedy that didn't bore the guys and wild comedy that didn't nauseate the girls; this is a knockoff, pure and simple, but its wit and ingenuous characters prove how far the bar's been raised.

This movie was very funny and light-hearted. Paul Rudd and Jason Segel work very well together and create an excellent bromance. The way they meet is very funny, and Paul Rudd's girlfriend pushing him to go out makes for a very funny scene. All of the scenes where the characters are just hanging out and having fun are very light-hearted and make you feel good. I also very much appreciated how the movie truly focused on the bromance, and not too much on Rudd's relationship. The movie seemed very real, and there were no boring parts. Excellent, I recommend viewing.

I Love You, Man might be the best comedy of the decade. It's gross, it's sweet, and at times it's sneakily subtle. I delivers the goods. Plus a whole lot more.

It's a rare comedy that actually grows funnier on reflection. It benefits enormously from the talents of the two stars.
What works best is whatever's completely incidental to the story, such as the totes-magotes/slippy mcgippy jive talk.
A fitfully funny comedy.
For most of the film's 104 minutes, the characters have experiences that range from serious to zany. Although I can't formulate a better resolution to the narrative conflicts, I Love You, Man ends on a note that is too cute and conventional to accept.
And like most women in bromance comedies, Jones does exactly what she's supposed to do by doing almost nothing.
Encontré en "I love you, man" una comedia romantica atípica, en donde la relación que se desarrolla no es en torno a un hombre y una mujer sino en una amistad.
Conocemos a Peter Klaven (Paul Rudd), un vendedor de bienes raíces cuya peculiaridad es no tener buena conexión con los otros hombres, quien le propone matrimonio Zooey Rice (Rashida Jones), y por los preparativos de la boda se aborda el tema "Peter no tiene amigos", por lo que el personaje se pone en la búsqueda de conocer distintos hombres por distintos medios para lograr una amistad.
Sin buscarlo aparece Sydney (Jason Segel) y de ahí en más se desarrolla la relación entre los personajes.
En general es muy divertida, es interesante el contraste de las distintas escuelas de comedia de los personajes siendo Rudd más un irónico, y un creador de situaciones mientras que Segel es más exagerado y vulgar.
En general es una película entretenida, con una base diferente a la usual, tiene sus altas y bajas pero tranquilamente se puede disfrutar de esta tira.

Even though the chemistry between the two male leads (played by actors Paul Rudd & Jason Segal) was one of the better aspects of the film, I couldn't help but feel 'I Love You, Man' could have been much better explored - particularly the back story of Segal's character. This feature is good, not great, excellent or astonishing funny but it is fine for what it is. The supporting cast were decent but this picture is essentially a two-man show even though the "bromance" seemed to have been somewhat rushed along with the overall running time of the movie.

This movie **** balls.
Here's the problem: the film features a surprisingly awesome fandom for the band Rush's f*cking righteous 2112 album. The dude's studio has MULTIPLE POSTERS for 2112, him and his **** friend JAM OUT with some Rush songs, and Rush is ACTUALLY IN the f*cking movie! In the flesh!
You might say "Well that's a pretty good f*cking setup to bring the thunder!" and during my watching of this film, I would have agreed, BUT
Nothing from 2112 appears in this film. Not a single note. I Love You, Man gave me massive 2112 blue balls. It raised my hopes and then gave me a generic romantic comedy featuring multiple dog ****. Now I love comedies and I love Rush but apparently the two were never meant to meet.
Better luck next time, aholes.
