Paul Rudd is really good at playing awkward. He doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t play clumsy, oafish, or stupid just awkward. And I think his ability to play that role is what really makes this movie.<\/p>\n

Peter Klaven (Rudd) is getting married the problem is that he has no guy friends to make up his side of the wedding party. His fianc\u00c3\u00a9 (Rashida Jones) encourages him to go find himself some man friends. With the help of his family and the internet he is introduced to a number of guys that could be his friend. He doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t meet anyone he gets along with until he throws an open house and meets Sydney Fife (Jason Segel). He is essentially a frat boy stuck in a man\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s body.<\/p>\n

Segel is an ugly guy. He has bad skin, is pasty, and overweight. But he always plays these guys that are just so likeable that you get over it. He is confident and out there which makes a perfect balance to Rudd\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s shy awkwardness. Neither of them over do their roles. Segel is loud and strange but never over the top or spastic. And Rudd as I mentioned is realistically awkward. A bit shy, says some random stuff, but just goes with it. Not a complete idiot. It works.<\/p>\n

The ensemble cast also helps to add some layers to this film. It includes Jon Favreau, Jaime Pressly, Thomas Lannon, Jane Curtin, J.K. Simmons, and Andy Samberg. They do a great job filling out the cast and each one was perfect for their role. And I have to say this was Samberg\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s best role, outside of SNL, so far. He was actually funny and didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t grate on my nerves.<\/p>\n

I totally recommend watching this movie. It will make you laugh. There were several burst out laughing moments and one that was just so gross you cringe but you still kill yourself laughing about it. And there is no point in the movie where there is a lull. You will simply enjoy every minute of it. It’s a bromance that works.<\/p>\n
