Without ever infringing on Brokeback territory, Sydney is man enough to make Zooey jealous. Sydney has a comfort level inside his own skin that Peter never dreamed possible. Sydney is Peter’s polar opposite, a likable slob who holes up in a Venice Beach man cave stuffed with porn and video games. After several disastrous tries, including a gay close encounter, the search ends with Sydney Fife (Segel). That’s right, Peter’s fiancée, Zooey (a sparky Rashida Jones) - whose girl network is so in the loop they know precisely the first time Peter went oral on Zooey (“Lock that tongue down, girl”) - encourages the poor schnook to go out and find a best buddy. That would leave no reason to get Peter out on man dates.
realtor Peter Klaven (Rudd), has a brother, Robbie (Andy Samberg), who could easily do the job.

#I love you man cast movie
Their presence and ace comic timing kick the movie up a notch.ĭirector John Hamburg ( Along Came Polly), who teamed on the script with Seinfeld writer Larry Levin, hangs the plot on a flimsy premise: A dude with no dude friends needs a dude to be best man at his wedding. It’s a rare gift, staying hilarious and recognizably human. They can get laughs without the sitcom pimping. In a down market for giggles ( Miss March? Please!), Paul Rudd and Jason Segel are howlingly funny. That’s where I Love You, Man really lucks out. Here’s the thing about comedies: Even when the script is freighted with formula, the right actors can keep it afloat, even airborne.
