Semi-Charmed Life

Another Bromance

I saw I Love You, Man yesterday and came out feeling a little disappointed. Maybe it was because I just saw Knocked Up two weeks ago so I had high expectations. Yes, I know Knocked Up came out ages ago and I'm late to the party and all. Whatever. Knocked Up is one of the funniest movies I've seen in a while. The dialog was good throughout the whole movie. Leslie Mann and Paul Rudd were hilarious in it.

When I saw that Paul Rudd was starring in I Love You, Man, I was pretty excited. The movie turned out to be just ok. That's why I hate reading reviews prior to watching a movie. The reviews made the movie sound awesome. 82% on Rotten Tomatoes!

The movie is about a guy (Paul Rudd) who is about to get married. You soon find out though that he has no close guy friends. He has always felt that he just connected better with women, and his fiance and her friends sort of think it's a bit odd. So his quest begins as he looks for new friends so that he can find a best man for his wedding.

Anyway, the movie echoes something that I've always felt. I've always thought it was weird for guys to not have close guy friends or for girls to not have close girl friends. I think it says something about you if you are not well accepted by other members of your gender. I'm not sure what it says about you, but I just think it's not normal.
