Impromptu Movie Review

The movie.. “I love you, man” – I’ve seen this movie once, but the first 15 minutes caused me to send this e-mail to Claire:

im 15 minutes into “i love you man” – ive never seen it before

and im relating to all of it..

FUCK ME

I didn’t really want her to fuck me – I wanted to freak out.

In the first 15 minnies, its established that there is this dude who is a great guy, who relates to chicks more, and doesn’t have any male friends, and is getting married to a smoking hot chick. People think this is weird. He won’t have a best man. Oh yeah, did I mention his best friend is his mum?

So he has to find a cool dude. Of course, he does. It’s Marshall from How I Met Your Mother, or that dude from Forgetting Sarah Marshall who isn’t Russell Brand. He really gets to use Russell’s vibe in this movie, which is awesome.. he’s just chilled out and you can feel his energy. It’s great. Just look at this picture of him walking his dog in Ugg boots.

I mean, how in touch, free of fear and cool is this dude?

Anyway, as with any movie shit all works out. But, it was just so refreshing to see a movie that wasn’t OTT, and really connected with the whole not stupidly macho frat boy thing. It was just a cool dude who was lookin’ for some male friends – to which I can totally relate.

Andy Samberg and the racist rapist from Oz were underused, but thats why they call it an ensemble cast, right? Anyway, it wasn’t a laugh riot movie. But it was funny in some parts, and touching in others. Sure, I connected more with it because I’m your a-typical man raised by a woman (hello Fight Club fans) with his own issues. But it was cool. I also didn’t hate Paul Rudd for once.

Down with rom-com, up with bromance. IMO.

I give it 3.5 boners our of 5, only because there were no hooters.

P.S. I do NOT want to fuck a dude, even though I messaged one on RSVP this week. Who is gay. But he knows I’m not into cock. I wont be gay for pay. I swears!
