I Love You, Man (Promotional Screening)
I had the opportunity to watch I Love You, Man at a promotional screening. My only interest to this film was Paul Rudd and Jason Segal, who always seem to play the same role, which is completely fine with me. To be completely honest, I didn't even like the trailer for the film all that much, either.
Ben Mankiewicz captured my interest to this film after labeling it an "adult comedy, funny movies written for smart grown-ups." Since the film is a romantic comedy, you pretty much know what to expect during most of the film. Although the film does feel formulatic, we take certain unexpected turns to hype the film up. Paul Rudd is brilliant during the entire film, capturing the mannerisms needed for a quirky character. Jason Segal steps in as the best friend we all wish we had in our lives. The chemistry between Rud and Segal is fantastic and when they share the screen together, the result is pure comedy.
Although I was laughing it up for the entire first half of the film, I felt a sudden downturn toward the second half. Right now, I'd say it's because of the formulatic script which still churned out many laughs despite some cliche moments. The entire audience fell into laughter so often that we couldn't hear some of the leftover jokes. The supporting cast is also very refreshing from Adam Samberg, Jon Favreau and Rashida Jones. Each actor brings a certain charm to the film which highlights the story. The film certainly has its high points and is a great comedy.
