When you see this movie you will know what I'm talking about.
I love this movie, man. Hands down the best comedy of the year no question ask. Welcome Paul Rudd to lead actor status. First Steve Carrel then Steve Rogan, later Jason Segal now Paul Rudd. Finally a movie that fits well for Paul as a lead actor. This time he is not a basterd nor a jerk. In "I Love You Man", he is sweet, shy, honest, loving husband to be, who discovers that he has no male friend close enough to serve as his Best Man. In his search for a same sex friend Peter (Paul Rudd) meets Sydney Fife (Jason Segal) a single, fun-loving and charismatic man with whom Peter instantly bonds.

The movie has classic one liners that will be heard from now on.  No doubt about it. It has very Apatowtowish to it. Even though some of the Apatow brad pack wasn’t there, for the most part the cast was great. Thomas Lennon from Comedy's Central Reno 911  was hilarious with his crush on Paul's Rudd character. He is not much in it, but when he does is funny. Jon Favraue the director of "Iron Man" was good playing the role of Barry, a very easy to hate character which  doesn’t like Paul and even does him. Jon's wife and Peter (Paul Rudd) fiancée are friends, so he has no choice to hang out with him However the only way Barry (Jon Favraue) goes is by asking his hot wife Jamie Presley to do special favor for him. He really gets was coming to him though.

Casting Andy Sandberg to play Paul's gay brother was the icing on the cake, at least for me. I feel that he could be the next great thing. Even though I felt the same way about Dane cook and we all know where that went. Lets hope that this movie help him cast in more leading role. A SNL cast member that bring the goods. I was surprise that Bill Hader wasn’t in the movie he would of been funny as one of Peter's dates. Paul Rudd and Jason Segal make the movie much more fun to watch. They both play of each other to perfection. The movie can relate to some guys. Lets face it some guys could find it difficult to have a guy friend when your time its all on your wife. However the concept of men dates, that’s funny! Watching Paul Rudd go through uncomfortable situation, reminded me of Ben Stiller. I’m a big Ben Stiller's fan, but Paul Rudd pulls it of in this movie.

Finally, going back to my opening words. I have to say that I have gone to the movies almost my whole entire life and when this particular moment happen "give back" the whole movie theater started laughing really loud. This laugh was different though classic different. It lasted more than 20 seconds. It was totally unexpected. This movie is up there with "Knock Up"  and "The 40 Year Old Virgin". Classic! Welcome Paul Rudd your turn has arrive.
