I usually walk out of movies with a stomach ache caused by the robotic face-stuffing of popcorn and overpriced candy. This time it's because I couldn't stop laughing.
Actor Paul Rudd and actor Jason Segal are both brilliant opposites in this comedy directed by John Hamburg (“Along Came Polly”, “Meet The Fockers”, “Zoolander”).
The story revolves around the soon-to-be-married Peter Klaven (Rudd), who at the last minute realized he's deprived himself of growing close to men, and will be without a Best Man if he doesn't find someone quick. A series of "man-dates" ensues and things only get funnier. As a real estate agent, Peter is an underachiever who is being pressured by actor Lou Ferrigno to sell his multi-million dollar house replete with a life-sized bronze statue of himself near the pool. During an Open House, Peter meets Sydney Fife (Segal) and a hysterical relationship develops based around Peter's un-coolness and Sydney's laid back Ugg-wearing irresponsible way of life. The two have a common love for the Canadian band Rush, and Zooey (played by actor Rashida Jones) is more than tolerant of Peter's renewed band-play with Sydney and Rush actually plays a integral part in strengthening the duo's bond.
As moviegoers, we root for Peter and Sydney and hope they get it together in time for the wedding. Sydney challenges Peter to find his inner dorm mate, and in the process, the road to the wedding is littered with hysterically well-written lines and pregnant onesies.
All of us here at AuditionPortal.com have seen the movie and won't speak another word about it.
It's wonderful, surprisingly funny, and constantly topping itself scene after scene.
I highly recommend seeing this movie, and I'm sure you'll comment back with "I loved it, man!"
