It only got a 1 for the sweet last ten minutes. What a waste of time and money. I turned to the person next to me and said mid-way, "These are two precious hours of my life slipping away." Dog poop. Now really, is that funny? How much It only got a 1 for the sweet last ten minutes. What a waste of time and money. I turned to the person next to me and said mid-way, "These are two precious hours of my life slipping away." Dog poop. Now really, is that funny? How much creativity and wit does it take to come up with that? You know what I most regret? Foreign audiences who will see this and think this is American culture - from indiscreet female bonding rituals where the most intimate details of their sex lives are shared to male-bonding that for most of the movie does not go beyond projectile vomiting and beer. What I cannot believe, most of all, is the high reviews this movie go. Oh, Roger Ebert, you have been such a dependable prognosticator for me. Where were you on this one?… Expand

This movie sucks balls.

Here's the problem: the film features a surprisingly awesome fandom for the band Rush's f*cking righteous 2112 album. The dude's studio has MULTIPLE POSTERS for 2112, him and his gay friend JAM OUT with some RushThis movie sucks balls.

Here's the problem: the film features a surprisingly awesome fandom for the band Rush's f*cking righteous 2112 album. The dude's studio has MULTIPLE POSTERS for 2112, him and his gay friend JAM OUT with some Rush songs, and Rush is ACTUALLY IN the f*cking movie! In the flesh!

You might say "Well that's a pretty good f*cking setup to bring the thunder!" and during my watching of this film, I would have agreed, BUT

Nothing from 2112 appears in this film. Not a single note. I Love You, Man gave me massive 2112 blue balls. It raised my hopes and then gave me a generic romantic comedy featuring multiple dog shats. Now I love comedies and I love Rush but apparently the two were never meant to meet.

Better luck next time, aholes.… Expand

A movie for girls and maybe couples. Some funny parts but not something I would ever see again!

There are worse romantic-comedies around, but I Love You, Man is really quite bland. There are some funny moments, however, it's hard to salvage a movie with such a clique premise and such a sappy ending.

This movie was ridiculous, silly, predictable and cliche and not all that funny! What a disappointment.

We walked out after the first 40 minutes, so if the last part was terrific, well, we wouldn't know. If you love gross male bonding rituals run amok, including poker games, over-drinking, projectile vomiting and other frat boy tricks, We walked out after the first 40 minutes, so if the last part was terrific, well, we wouldn't know. If you love gross male bonding rituals run amok, including poker games, over-drinking, projectile vomiting and other frat boy tricks, and have a taste for "jokes" that work by attempting to trigger homophobic uneasiness, then you may very well love this horrible film, man.… Expand

I rented this movie based on the metascore and my husband and I kept looking at each other wondering who was going to turn off the TV first and go wash the dishes. It was insultingly stupid. Not even stupid-funny. Boring.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie seems to be along the line of the superficial factory produced quantity-over-quality trend of movies I've come across lately. Have you ever watched a movie thinking "Ok, this is just the intro - we'll get to the good part soon" and then you look at Time Played and it's been over an hour? This is that type of movie. 'Spoiler' part: There are some moments where you would expect the friend to bail, resetting the protagonist's plight to finding a friend for the wedding to prevent it being awkward (this premise alone is incredibly soppy and infantile, but we'll roll with it) but no, the trainwreck continues. Will he murder the protagonist? Nope! Will he bail after borrowing the money? Nope! Instead, he spent it on billboards. "Well, that's somewhat realistic, now we're getting somewhere!" the audience is thinking, "because now he probably won't pay the guy back, gets mad because he doesn't feel appreciated" but no, ofcourse not... The billboards do eventually pan out, the guy gets the girl, the other guy gets the guy/guy gets the other guy as a friend and we all live merrily ever after. Now don't get me wrong: I don't mind rom-com flicks when done right, but I would strongly suggest to avoid this unless you want to watch a BAD movie. It reminds me of 30 Minutes Or Less, or some other forgettable title where the protagonists are 1 dimensional, invincible and most of all frustratingly ignorant people who just waddle through the movie from start till finish. Again: this can also be done right, as these titles prove: Blue Mountain State, American Pie, Road Trip etc.… Expand
