I LOVE YOU MAN, the new Paul Rudd comedy was seen by me recently, twice actually. Not because I loved it that much but because I found it entertaining and was with people who hadn't seen it and I wanted to hang out with them. Anywho, the film was funny and follows the formula of the recent Apatow-style comedies. Paul Rudd gives a restrained performance when compared to some of his other comedies, although on the second viewing I did really notice his ability to personify awkwardness that has been popularized by the Office. There is one laugh out loud moment in the film with many other cringe inducing scenes just from a social awkwardness point of view. The films other star Jason Segel gives a nice performance but not his funniest, his role seems to be setting up awkwardness. Andy Sandberg and Jon Favreau also give memorable performances breaking typecast. All in all a solid comedy, definitely a renter but not one you need to rush out and see.
