    honestly holds up! didn’t realize how much of this was permanently lodged into my brain until now. so many distinct moments rang with a ghostly memory of crowd laughter from when i saw it in theaters. this thing changed my life, gave all the most annoying people (present company included) such quotable ammo for years to come. paul rudd plays awkward/nervous so unbelievably well for someone so clearly charming. had a hard laugh at him rocking back and forth while drunkenly trying to get a cab. jason segel’s character suuuucks in hindsight though, every line makes me wanna dunk his head in a toilet

    actually one of my favorite comedy movies ever. i don’t know why it works so well for me honestly but this is perfect. i love that this movie doesn’t fall into common comedic tropes. i can’t imagine another movie that wouldn’t have a subplot about how zooey thought sidney was a woman. instead, they made a funny one off joke and that was it. i feel like they actually behaved like real people for the most part which made the movie funnier. the cast is also STACKED.

    Dudes platonically vibing and loving Rush. Out of the numerous ancient forms of love the Greeks philosophically understood this would be one of them. I try to make friends in my 40’s and I stumble my way into a raver poly-cule. 🤷‍♂️ which I suppose would also be philosophically understood as a form of love. Really the Greeks had it all figured out to an extent.

    About half the jokes land, and the other half are quite cringe and not in a good way like Rudd and Robinson’s film Friendship. Definitely a product of its time in some ways and in others just a bit immature. The cast is pretty good, but a bit misused at times, and while there is a decent story at the heart of it. The film never knows what it wants to do, and then just kind of ends on a…

    I just assume any movie from 2009 has Segel in it. He basically plays the same role in every movie but it never gets old. This one is a solid, funny watch. Plus, having Rush in your movie is pretty frickin cool.

    I remember this not being as good and dragging but on this rewatch it was actually pretty tight! Rudd is great. Segal is his usual magnetic self. Rashida might be the best she’s ever been. The supporting cast is filled with actors who bring instant smiles. Music is absolutely on point throughout. Enjoyable easy watch.

    Dá pra dizer que é uma comédia romântica para os caras, um homem que tenta encontrar sua cara-metade: um amigo. O ritmo é leve, Paul Rudd e Jason Segel demonstram uma química incrível em tela, e o filme é recheado de sacadas boas, piadas rápidas e muitas referências pontuais à cultura pop. A subversão do gênero comédia romântica para contar a história de um homem tentando fazer um amigo é sensacional. O filme ainda brinca com os clichês: tem casamento…

    2026 #840 I’d forgotten how charming this was, between Rashida Jones pushing her fiancé Paul Rudd into finding a friend, Rudd’s awkwardness, and Jason Segel ultimately looking out for him even though it seems at one point like he might be actively sabotaging the soon-to-be newlyweds relationship. But yeah, a comedy about the importance of male friendship is surprisingly wholesome stuff, and thanks to Rudd especially, pretty funny in places too.

    not the comedy i was expecting but it had a good storyline, i liked how they ended up becoming friends and actually enjoying being with each other. The wife was a bit in the wrong in my opinion because she wanted him to branch out and finally get some friends and when he did she didn’t like how absent he became. Honestly they really needed to communicate better, but good movie.

    Alternatif başlığının How to Kill a Healthy Relationship Speedrun olması gerektiğini düşündüğüm film. Kaşarrrrr kız kankalarının dolduruşuna gelip bütün boş zamanını biricik nişanlısına ayıran, melek gibi davranan loyal adamı kendi fuckboy kocaları gibi dışarılarda sürtmüyor ve erkek kankalarıyla karıya gitmiyor diye kusurlu ve feminen lanse etmeleri mide bulandırıcı. Hele sonrasında da adam onlara yaranabilmek için arkadaş yapınca “fazla yakın oldunuz” diye sorun çıkarıp kıskanan, öncesinde elindekinin değerini bilmeyen toxic nişanlısını izlemek için peygamber sabrı gerektiriyor. Sadece evde sevdiği kadına sarılarak…

    So much fun. At times, a little hard to believe Paul Rudd as the socially awkward wife guy who can’t make friends, but that’s a very minor complaint. Pretty much everyone is great and has chemistry. Overall, just a quick, fun comedy that doesn’t require too much work or thought.
