I Love You, Man

Peter's only known Zooey for 8 months, but is convinced she is The One and proposes to her. She willingly accepts. At a gathering with her girlfriends, Peter overhears them wondering who he's going to ask to be the best man, as he really doesn't have any close male friends and that could make for a lopsided wedding party.

Realizing the sad truth that they're right (he always tends to make friends easier with the women in his life) Peter desperately goes on a hunt to meet a guy who could have potential to be his best friend and best man. After being set up by his gay brother and his mom on various "man dates", as well as trying to hang with Zooey's friend's spouses and failing miserably, Peter has about given up.

Then he meets Sydney who shows up at his open house (Peter is a struggling realtor) to eat the free food Peter has left out for vistors and to meet rich divorcees. They have a brief conversation and trade business cards. A few days later, Peter calls Sydney to meet up and talk business over drinks, only they talk about everything but and end up having dinner together. Realizing they have more in common, such as their love for the band Rush, the 2 start hanging out all the time. Sydney is thrilled to have a friend to hang out with, since all his are married with kids and lives of their own now, and Peter loves how real and honest Sydney is and how he can be himself around him. Only as the wedding draws near, the more time they spend together, the more Sydney's honesty and lifestyle starts to jeopardize Peter's relationship with Zooey.

This was a cute comedy about on par with more recent stuff Rudd and Segal have starred in. Getting in on the "bromance" craze spawned by MTV, it shows just how important it is for a guy to have that 1 great male friendship with another guy.

If you like the humor of Rudd and Segal movies, be sure to check this one out with a good friend! It's worth the laughs!
