(The Ultimate Bromance…)

DIRECTOR: John Hamburg
FAVORITE OF: Fan
IN A NUTSHELL: Succesful real estate agent Paul Klaven (Paul Rudd) has just gotten engaged to his gal Zooey (Rashida Jones). The problem is his friends are all of her girlfriends. Meaning he has no guy friends. Meaning that he’s going to have to have some extremely distant relative be his best man at the wedding. Unless he can find some dude to be his best buddy. Fast. Enter wild and crazy Sydney Fife (Jason Segel), who is Paul’s polar opposite. Will these two attract and become friends? Or is this a mismatch from hell? Or a mismatch that’s actually a perfect match? Whatever. See the movie.
WHY SHE LOVES THIS MOVIE: Because it is “sweet” and “funny” and shows guys being “vulnerable” and “real.” Yes, sweetie. I saw that movie already. It wasn’t I LOVE YOU, MAN. It was BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN. Cripes, what a fucking depressing movie that was. Anyway, I LOVE YOU, MAN is indeed cute, and Paul Rudd and Jason Segel make a believable pair of pals. It’s like KISS ME, GUIDO - except there’s no gay dude and no Guido. In other words, it’s not as good. But it’s okay enough.
