Rated R for pervasive language, including crude and sexual references
By John Delia
Funny happens in I Love You, Man, an mature adult film that provides a lot of laughs. Now on DVD, the fun keeps going with some very good bonus
features.  The movie has a lot going for it including an unusual storyline filled with some great gags, pratfalls and scenes of total nonsense. If you like Paul Rudd and Jason Segel from Forgetting Sarah Marshall, this is your kind of film.
Peter Klaven (Rudd) is a successful real estate agent who, upon getting engaged to the woman of his dreams, Zooey (Jones), discovers, to his dismay and chagrin, that he has no male friend close enough to serve as his Best Man. Peter immediately sets out to rectify the situation, embarking on a series of bizarre and awkward man-dates, before meeting Sydney Fife (Segel), a charming, opinionated man with whom he instantly bonds. But the closer the two men
get, the more Peter’s relationship with Zooey suffers, ultimately forcing him to choose between his fiancee and his new found man-friend in a story that comically explores what friendship truly means.
The film is totally off the wall with situations that made me howl with laughter. I especially like the poker game where Peter, who is not a card player, tries to make friends with the group of misfits only to turn an opportunity into a catastrophe. Peter gets in all kinds of unpredictable situations, including some man-dates that go embarrassingly wrong, a trip to the gym with his gay brother and a hilarious engagement dinner with his friends and parents.
I Love You Man has some very funny and informative bonus features. I like d the Gag Reel, and the Making of I Love You, Man. You will also get a chance to check out the deleted scenes and some extended scenes. For more laughs turn on the commentary by Director Hamburg, Rudd and Segel.
The film is rated R for pervasive language, including crude and sexual references so send the kids to bed before chucking this film into your DVD.
FINAL ANALYSIS:Â A great film for situation comedy lovers. (4.5 of 5 Palm Trees)
