Review: I Love You Man

With the leading lights of the 'App Pack' Will Ferrell and Seth Rogen serving up increasingly diminishing returns (the awful Zack & Miri and the abymsmal Step Brothers for example) anticipation for another buddy comedy from two of the lesser-known names of the group hasn't been exactly high.

I Love You Man far exceeds these low expectations, wisely dumping some of clichés that have began to grate in recent efforts. Here the male leads of Rudd and Seigel aren't completely moronic man-childs and the female characters are slightly more one dimensional than usual, which means the jokes stay on the right side of lewd boobs and bongs humour.

There are plenty of laugh to be had and an excellent cast support Rudd, highlights being Joe Lo Truglio's high-pitched gym buddy, Thomas Lennon playing as Jim Dangle in everything but name and an ace Lou Ferrigno cameo.
