I have to admit that I love indulging in chick flicks/romantic comedies.. though I know at the end of the movie the guy will get the girl and it always has a happy ending, the usual, and even if the reviews are bad I would still indulge... Well, it's not called a chick flick for no reason. But rarely romantic comedies actually revolve around the male character, usually the guys are the pricks or the ones that break the girl's heart or the guys are portrayed as marijuana loving/ porn surfing dudes (Knocked Up).
Recently I got the chance to watch I Love You Man and boy I could not have imagined how hard it is for a guy to get friends without looking gay. Paul Rudd plays Peter Klaven who has always been a ladies man, not a playa, but he has more girl friends compared to guy friends.. nothing wrong with him it's just that his life revolves around his fiance played by Rashida Jones.. So when he popped the big question to his girlfriend, the problem is he has no candidate for a best man. So the funnies takes place when Rudd search for his best man and that's when Jason Segel comes in and the story takes a pleasant turn.. Rudd and Segel's chemistry was simply brilliant especially their "Rushified" moments, you'll get it if you watch it.. Overall a pleasant movie which is pretty spot on for the guys.. and girls, you can take note and give your guys a break.. because they don't cheat when they're with their friends, they're just well.. being guys!!
