Dome Pondering Movie Review: I Love You Man (2009)

DPMovieReviewILoveYouManWhat’s it about?

A friendless man goes on a series of “man-dates” to search for his best man at his upcoming wedding.

Who is in it?

Paul Rudd – Peter Klaven

Rashida Jones – Zooey Rice

Jason Segal – Sidney Fife


Favorite Scene:


Peter finally works up the courage to give Sidney a call to hang out, and leaves a rather nerve wracking induced message that is filled with awkward sayings from him attempting to sound cool.

Favorite Quote:

“See you later, Joben”

Review:

I Love You Man is a very funny film that has an interesting and unique plot to it. A film that is subtly hilarious and lends a comedic entertainment quality that doesn’t revolve around over-the-top scenes. “I Love You Man” does good job of bringing to light the issue of boundaries within certain relationships while being entertaining and funny.

Paul Rudd, known for his great improve, carries the movie in his role as Peter Klaven, the friendless man who desires to find brotherhood and friendship, with witty and ridiculous sayings and terms that steal the movie.

A decent film that is entertaining and hilarious. A recommended film for those in need of an easy watch and a laugh. 

Grade: 3/5

Sunday Sundown Rundown - 9/15/24

3 Up 1. James Earl Jones - The voice GOAT. But I'll always remember him in one of my favorite movies, Coming to America , in the absolute epic role of King Joffe Joffer. "Where is my son, Akeem!". A great gift to us.   2. A'ja Wilson - The WNBA has entered our mainstream sports landscape because of Caitlin Clark. Yes, that is very true. But there is an amazing talent in A'ja Wilson who continues to dominate, and this week, she set the single-season scoring record and likely will do the same in smashing the single-season rebound record.  3. Inflation Lowest in 3 Years - I know it's a hot-button issue during this election season. BUT! It is the lowest it's been in three years. I'm not crediting or blaming anyone! Just saying!

Thoughts on Second 2024 Presidential Debate

That was soooooooooo much different than what we witnessed in the first debate.  So. Much. Different.  Yet, why does it still feel like not much was impacted? Overall, I stepped away from this debate with the overarching theme that Kamala Harris did what she needed to do. And that was not engage in a pity back-and-forth with Trump who wants to muddy the waters of any debate or discourse, force him to bring something new to the table and force him to get into a policy discussion beyond the usual surface sayings and fire-alarm narratives.  She did that.  For Trump. He has his voters. He is not losing them. But I thought Trump didn't do enough to interest those voters who have soured on him as well as those who are not yet sold on Kamala (this administration, or even the Democratic Party).  We saw the same from Trump. No need to answer questions. Dictate the narrative with what you want. Reply with emotion. Evade policy discussion. And you know, be Trump.  Was there a winner? In a tra
