"I Love You, Man" is the most probing study of the modern American male since "Fight Club" stormed screens 10 years ago.

this wasn't as funny as I'd hoped, a nice enough distraction but probalby would have worked better on DVD. I actually think Role Models was funnier. It seemed really kind of stilted at times. But parts of it were pretty good. Adventureland is a much, much better movie though. And it had a Rush reference too!

sooo disappointing. The first hour was okay, and Segal probably more charming than this second-string Ben Affleck has ever been, but the rest just fizzled.
― Anatomy of a Morbius (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Sunday, 16 August 2009 03:26 (fourteen years ago) link
I enjoyed it. About halfway through, I was worried that the movie was going to take the position of "Peter needs Sydney to teach him what being a real man is all about" -- but I'm glad that it eventually skirted that notion and made it seem OK for dudes to hang out with their girlfriends and watch Chocolat. (Both my girlfriend and I, weirdly, related to Paul Rudd's character in this movie.) Also Max's #1 point, above, is OTM.

i liked that jon favreau's character does not participate in the ending love-up, he just doesn't like paul rudd and he never does. and it even ends with a wedding! this is like rennaissance comedy writing 101, good job

lolz I saw this last night too - it was okay, but definitely had some basic writing 101 problems structurally. nowhere near as good as Role Models (or Step Brothers)

also Jon Favreau has a freakishly large head.

and while on the one hand i cd use fewer 'take yr tampax out' jokes i dont think these are as regressive w/r/t gender as movies like this were 10 yrs ago
I was just thinking, I think the main reason I avoid a lot of mainstream Hollywood comedies is precisely b/c I fear that a majority of the humor comes from trafficking in gender stereotypes. So many of these movies seem like they're going to be all "this is what dudes are all about" or "women be shoppin'" or whatever.
― jaymc, Friday, 21 August 2009 15:55 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah this was better than i thought it would be - mostly due to segel imo.
rudds character could not be that socially awk and drippy and still land rashida jones and be a generally normal functioning dude but w/e
rush stuff was TERRIBLE
― johnny crunch, Friday, 21 August 2009 16:05 (fourteen years ago) link
I don't think he was meant to be generally socially awkward, just when trying to be a "bro," since it's outside his experience.
― jaymc, Friday, 21 August 2009 16:14 (fourteen years ago) link
"this is what dudes are all about" or "women be shoppin'" or whatever.

Way less funny and more sappy than I hoped but I'm still glad it happened? Also, I kind of liked that the guys bonded over playing music rather than, I dunno, watching sports or drinking beer or something.

This movie was mediocre - Segel was great in individual scenes, but the central story was threadbare and "who cares", which insinuates they wrote the story around the jokes, which is never a good idea.
Also getting tired of films/shows thinks using Lou Ferrigno as himself is the Everest of comedy
― five deadly venoms (San Te), Monday, 17 January 2011 18:11 (thirteen years ago) link
Apatow connection in Adventureland is pretty tenuous, both in terms of cast and tone

What classic novel did you recently read for the first time?The last book I read that legitimately qualifies as a classic is “Infinite Jest,” by David Foster Wallace. It is a difficult read, and intentionally so I think. I did it with a book club where we budgeted 100 pages per week over 10 weeks or so. It was truly one of the most gratifying experiences of my life. A group of four grown men sitting around talking about dissatisfaction and loneliness was far more comfortable than I would have imagined. I highly recommend it, with or without a book.
