R: pervasive language, including crude and sexual references
And so we welcome the dawning of a new age: The Bromance. And I say, it’s about time. This was quite possibly THE FUNNIEST movie I have seen in years not featuring full frontal male nudity.
Paul Rudd has taken the same character he’s been playing since Phoebe’s boyfriend on Friends, and parlayed him into a starring role. Brilliant and I’ll say it again, about fucking time!
Peter is the average, everyday, nice-guy-in-the-next-cubicle. He’s funny, witty and charming totally without meaning to be. From his horrible attempts at accents “why does everything I say sound like a leprechaun?!” to his inability to come up with a cool nickname on the fly (I give you Jobin!), we can ALL identify with his dilemma… just how DO you find friends when you’re an adult??
And so, we get to accompany Peter on a series of progressively hilarious man-dates in his quest to find a BFF to be the best man at his wedding. We get to explore not just a real live man-cave but also male stereotypes, one of which is best portrayed by Jon Favreau. There are cameos by Lou Ferrigno and RUSH, the greatest band EVER (well, they’re no Bon Jovi… but I digress…) And I guarantee you’ll walk out of the theater sayin’ “Slappin’ Da Bass, Mon” in your best Jamaican/Leprechaun accent!
Tip: Be sure to stay through the credits for the little gems hidden there!!
My overall review: why haven’t you seen this yet?? What are you waiting for?! Go. NOW!!!
