(1 - 34) of 34 OFCS Rating: 71% Fresh Page   1   3.5/5 "(W)hat's clear about John Hamburg's trend following entertainment is that it feels forced together, as if a smart, sunny couples comedy was injected with a copy of Jokes from the John."   PopMatters   Bill Gibron 1/4 "A drearily tame learning-and-growing homosocial comedy."   Slant Magazine   Bill Weber 3.5/5 "delightfully crude and side-splittingly funny"   Filmcritic.com   Blake French 7/10 "Butch and Sundance ended their hetero romance in a shower of bullets, but here it's something to celebrate - a straight love story that doesn't leave anyone out in the cold."   AfterElton.com   Brian Juergens B+ "A gracious comedy that handles itself well on the subjects of broheem friendships, self-worth, and Lou Ferrigno's sleeper hold. Any worn-out plot mechanics need not apply."   BrianOrndorf.com   Brian Orndorf B "Paul Rudd's understated comic genius comes to the fore in this nuanced romantic comedy that's as much about the intricacies of male bonding as it is about the invisible line between male/female relationships."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey 3/5 "We're willing to overlook an empty plot as long as we get to hang out with these amiable folks for a couple hours."   eFilmCritic.com   David Cornelius 2.5/4 "...the movie possesses a stagnant feel that inevitably diminishes its overall impact."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair C+ "Ends up stepping on dog poop.... ."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz .5/4 "Charmless and abysmally unfunny from one end to the next, condescension and desperation seeping from its filmic pores. At this early date in March, it is the year's first lock for December's annual worst list."   DustinPutman.com   Dustin Putman 3.5/4 "I Love You, Man doesn't need the 'talk' to speak to the guys in the audience, because just about everything that needs to be said is right there on the screen and is usually accompanied by a huge laugh."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress B "Will be remembered as the movie that turned Paul Rudd from a dependable supporting player into a comic force to be reckoned with."   Cinematical   Eugene Novikov 2.5/4 "Indeed, there is every reason to "man-up" in warped and witty I Love You, Man that plays like a screwy The Odd Couple in a millennium zoned-out state of arrested development."   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng C "It spends a full 104 minutes on an idea so artificial that it could have been handled in a sitcom in 22--and a mediocre sitcom at that."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 3/5 "A very funny comedy about the difficulty of making and keeping adult male friendships alive in these fast-paced times."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 1/5 "If this is with whom us average Americans are supposed to empathize, we deserve our recession."   The L Magazine   Henry Stewart 2.5/4 "Despite the clever premise and several laugh-aloud moments, the film as a whole underwhelms."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 3.5/4 "finds room to celebrate the inner caveman without discarding all of the refinements"   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick "Parental Content Review"   Screen It!   Jim Judy 5/10 "Despite its continual profanity and sexual references, it isn't particularly offensive, just mostly forgettable."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio 4/5 "I Love You, Man is a fun, charming comedy with the casual profanity of a bunch of dudes, but not a deep reliance on gross-out humor or sexcapades."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery 2/5 "It's as if the producers got Jason Segel attached to the movie and made it as fast as possible in order to cash in on his success with Forgetting Sarah Marshall."   7M Pictures   Kevin Carr B "...starts with a high concept that Rudd and Segel take to the finish line. This is a buddy movie that women can enjoy, a surprisingly sweet take on male friendship that still has its testosterone intact."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 3/4 "Rudd creates a likably, uniquely quirky and hilariously adorkable character that would be unthinkable played by anyone else."   TheMovieReport.com   Michael Dequina 3.5/4 "I hesitate to call the film "touching" because that's kind of the antithesis of R-rated humor. So instead I will say that I Love You, Man locates comedy in the truth, and I laughed consistently."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan B- "Rudd is at his best in the small moments when his character is trying hard to be a "regular guy" even though in his heart he suspects that whatever it takes, it is beyond him."   Beliefnet   Nell Minow C+ "Ends up feeling like a tossed-off Judd Apatow photocopy."   Lessons of Darkness   Nick Schager 4/5 "Doce e engraçado, Eu Te Amo, Cara é uma grata surpresa em um gênero que cada vez menos oferece exemplares realmente dignos de nota."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 4/5 "Although it is a mess by virtually every aesthetic standard that one could possibly think of, it contains just enough laugh-out-loud moments to allow you to more or less push its numerous problems to the side for at least the duration of its running time."   eFilmCritic.com   Peter Sobczynski 4/5 "Starting with a pretty funny script, writer-director Hamburg lets his cast have a free hand with their characters, and the improvisational atmosphere is what makes this male-bonding comedy thoroughly engaging."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline B "A vulgar comedy that is pretty crude, but pretty funny, too."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten B "...an affable buddy comedy that goes in the right directions and pushes the right buttons."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford "[Paul] Rudd, the most valuable player in many an Apatow supporting cast, is likable and funny and brings perfect pitch to the comedy of off-key awkwardness..."   Seanax.com   Sean Axmaker 6/10 "A gross-out comedy aimed at dudes who dig crude slapstick along with sporadic, if superficial shock value."   SSG Syndicate   Susan Granger  (1 - 34) of 34 OFCS Rating: 71% Fresh Page   1
