Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

jonsefcik The fact that Rush are in the movie and that the main characters are Rush fans was the sole reason I decided to give this movie a try. Turns out that's the only thing to look forward to. Besides the couple scenes centered around Rush, this movie is mostly bland and forgettable. The acting isn't particularly great, the camera-work and direction are rather dull and unstylistic, and I couldn't bring myself to care about the characters very much. Things just sort of happen without much emotional weight. Since this is a comedy, I could forgive the lacking aspects of the film if it was at least funny. Unfortunately the movie isn't really that funny. I had two or three involuntary grins and chuckles but nothing made me involuntarily burst out laughing. Even their Rush fandom is only shown as surface level; only popular songs like "Tom Sawyer" and "Limelight" are showcased (with a brief mention of "Spirit of Radio" somewhere in there) and I think it would have been more rewarding for viewers (who happen to be Rush fans) if they picked some lesser known songs. Not anything super obscure like "Tai Shan" or "The Necromancer", but how about something like "Closer To The Heart", "Fly By Night", or "YYZ"? Sydney has a 2112 poster in his man cave but we never hear "2112"! It also would have made sense for them to listen to some lesser known songs since Sydney is apparently a big enough fan that he bought a Geddy Lee Jazz Bass. A lot of people seem to love this movie and that's fine but I personally found it rather dull. Its not really worth checking out, even for Rush.

mattkratz This was a funny comedy about "desperate times call for desperate measures." Paul Rudd is a Realtor who gets engaged and then realizes he has no close male friends to serve as his best man. Upon the suggestion of a co-worker, he goes out on several "man dates" before meeting Jason Segel at an open house, whom he befriends and agrees to serve as best man.I think this movie was overall funny throughout. I think Segel's dog was very cute, and Lou Ferigno's role as himself was hilarious. The parts where Rudd and Segel bond were terrific, and my favorite scenes include where people yell at Segel for not "cleaning up" after his dog, the L.A. Galax soccer game at one of the "man dates," the best man speech, and a few others.*** out of ****

slightlymad22 "I love you man"Plot In A Paragraph: Peter Klaven (Paul Rudd) is delighted when his girlfriend Zooey (Rashinda Jones) accepts his marriage proposal, however he his horrified to hear her friends calling him "Friendless" upon realising he doesn't actually have any close friends, he goes on a series of man-dates to find a Best Man for his wedding. This proves disastrous until a chance meeting with Sydney (Jason Segel) I felt this movie took a while to get going, and that was mainly due to the fact that it took about thirty minutes for Segel's character to be introduced. There was one genuine laugh out loud moment prior to his first appearance. The movie picks up massively once his character is introduced, and the laughs come thicker and faster. The movie relies heavily on the chemistry between the two actors, and I'm surprised that as if yet they have not worked together again. Whilst Rashinda Jones is very attractive, I found her acting awkward and unconvincing. J.K Simmons was a lot of fun as Rudd's dad as was Jamie Presly as Jones's best friend. The same can not be said for Jon Favareu. I' a fan of his, but I have never seen him so annoying. Overall it's a predictable silly movie, but I enjoyed a lot of it, especially once Segel came in to it.

Sean Lamberger When a meek, clean-cut realtor (Paul Rudd, in one of his tamer roles) sets out to select a best man for his upcoming nuptials, it suddenly dawns that his list of male friends is uncomfortably short. His subsequent errand into the best friend dating scene reveals no small number of reinforced stereotypes and awkward, queasy miscommunications. Rudd's an identifiable guy here, particularly for the crowd that doesn't buy into Budweiser brand of masculinity, but he's so thoroughly, maddeningly passive that the puns occasionally feel staged. It's funny, with a few genuine laugh-out-loud moments, but also safe like a sitcom given the green light to tinker with a dirty theme or two and actually wrap up its primary storyline. And, considering the wealth of excellent comedians in the supporting cast, that kind of white-washing leads to a mildly wasted opportunity.
