As his wedding day approaches, Peter Klaven (Paul Rudd) realizes he has no one to act as his best man.

But as Peter's "bro-mance" with Sydney grows stronger, it threatens his relationship with his fiancée (Rashida Jones), forcing Peter to make a choice.

Critics Consensus

I Love You, Man makes the most of its simple premise due to the heartfelt and hilarious performances of Paul Rudd and Jason Segel.

[T]his unpretentious crowd-pleaser is still punchy enough to send packed theaters reeling in riotous laughter.

[Segel's] performance here is loose and confident and very attractive. His star is rising.

Rudd ... is perfectly cast -- no actor this side of Hugh Grant is more comfortable getting flustered.

I Love You, Man administers a welcomed sense of authenticity that will keep you reflecting on its appeal long after leaving the theater.

5/10

The plot offers virtually no surprises, and its formulaic approach to a fairly unique perspective on the awkward humor of male bonding doesn't help the film's impact.

It had its moments but with the star power of Rashida Jones, Jamie Presley, Adam Samberg, Jason Segel and Paul Rudd it was quite the let down.

Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são mais ou menos, a história é fraca, o elenco é maisoumenos, e só o Paul rudd é o jason segel ajudam a melhorar o filme, os personagens são mais ou menos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom.

I'd seen this eons ago... not one that stuck in my head, evidently. I liked it, but it leans more towards the sycophantically sentimental and emotionally immature bromance. Some genuinely funny moments, still.

From a man's perspective who moved to a new city without knowing anyone, this is unbelievably relatable. A true classic full of one-liners that highlights that special bond between two male heterosexual best friends. One of those movies I can't help but watch every-time I see it on.
