"I Love You, Man" is a fresh and funny take on overused buddy/romantic comedy formulas.

It did have some funny moments and some great lines, but when I have to cover my face with a pillow for 90% of the movie then there's a problem.

Segel was great, despite all of the awkwardness. He actually balanced out the weirdness by maintaining some suave. Paul Rudd reminded of Steve Carrel in the 40-Year Old Virgin. While the awkwardness in 40-Year Old Virgin was fitting, here it was not. Rudd went from being a seemingly normal guy to all of a sudden becoming an awkward 15 year old child who …
