A truly Bro-Mantic tale, that is hilarious and poignant.
When Paul Rudd gets engaged to his beautiful fiancé, it occurs to him that he has no one to be his best man, so he goes in search of some male friends. When he meets painfully honest, and slightly crazy, Sydney (Jason Segel), Peter (Rudd) enters a dangerous relationship that will test boundaries of acceptable social behaviour.
Director John Hamburg has avoided the clichés and pitfalls that so many new comedies hit face on, and created a superb movie that is funny, original, and relevant. Rudd is brilliant as the awkward groom-to-be, whose try-hard attributes make him a likeable and entertaining character. Segel is excellent as the off-beat antagonist, whose zany perception on life makes for great viewing.
With some many films looking at the complexities of female lives, it is refreshing to see a film which looks at male relationships in the modern world. A great film that deserves appreciation.
