Review

The makers of the film tried to follow in the style of director Judd Apatow you know add in some raunchiness but not too much of it but at the same time make it heartwarming and relatable. Like The 40Year Old Virgin(2005) and Knocked Up(2007) where.

The story starts with Peter(Paul Rudd) who purposes to his longtime girlfriend Zooey(Rashida Jones) and she says yes. And should be smooth sailing from there right well not so much. Peter quickly discovers that he has no best man for his wedding the painful fact is that Peter has never really had a male friend most of his best friends are females. So Peter goes out on a search by going on a couple of man dates in hopes to find the perfect B.F.F.. But comes close to giving up until he meets Sydney(Jason Segel) a wild fun loving guy. Peter and Sydney soon become the best of friends has Sydney shows Peter on how to be wild and crazy. But will it put a strain on his relationship with Zooey

One funny comedy that hits it's mark perfectly. And a great bunch of characters that don't over do it either. Paul Rudd is great always he had better chemistry with Rashida Jones and Jason Segel then he had with Elizabeth Banks and Seann William Scott. Rashida Jones is also great in her role although she doesn't quite get the big laughs she endearing and believable in her role. Jason Segel was perfectly cast also he managed to get some good laughs. And rest of the supporting cast are memorable. Including Lou Ferrigno as himself.
