I Love You, Man - The Story Of Man-Dating

There's always that one guy you know that has spent his whole life in relationships - but manages to have no close guy friends. If this sounds like someone you know, I Love You, Man is probably the closest thing to a documentary for guys like that.

I Love You, Man stars Paul Rudd and Jason Segel, regulars among anything made by Judd Apatow (Knocked Up, 40-Year Old Virgin). Rudd's character, Peter, is about to get married but realizes that he doesn't have a single male friend that he could have as a best man. In times of need, he considers man-dating, the almighty ritual of making new male friends. In Peter's hilarious attempts to reach out and make a new friend or two, he comes across Segel's character, Sydney.

This flick does a great job of showing the little known world of man-dating as most guys would know, trying to meet new male friends is pretty hard especially when there's effort involved. Unlike dating, making friends isn't exactly something many people set out on a mission for. The great supporting cast of familiar faces is a good enough reason to check out this off-beat comedy.
