We seem to be entering a golden era of movies. Either that or the worsening recession is driving people towards escapist pastimes. Either way, there are a TON of good movies coming out in the coming months.I Love You, Man delivers everything you'd expect and nothing more. High energy comedy, requisite plot twists and a kind of weird gay vibe.
Now, this is a movie about dudes dating and hanging out with dudes. There are several guys in the movie who are gay. Why then do I bother to mention a 'weird gay vibe'? Because the heterosexual interactions in the movie seem a bit too contrived to be accepted. As a result, they come across as something not quite heterosexual. Straight guys just don't go to that much effort to hang out with guys they don't already know well. It just doesn't happen. There has to be some ulterior motive. As a result, whenever I saw the straight guys hanging out, all I could think is "This is.... kinda gay." Poker game with friends? Straight. Fishing for an invite to a poker game with guys you don't know? Kinda gay.
Overall though, a solid movie that falters on issues that nobody cares about:
