Critic Reviews

  • Tom Huddlestone, Time Out

    The concept is solid, applying rusty romcom clichés to a tale of new-found masculine buddydom. But the plot is scatty.

  • Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor

    I Love You, Man is the second movie this year -- He's Just Not That Into You being the first -- with a popular catchphrase for its title. This is one of the film's few distinctions.

  • Ann Hornaday, Washington Post

    It's a thin premise, and I Love You, Man features the usual quota of jokes involving masturbation, projectile vomiting and flatulence. But is it worth it? Thanks to Rudd and Segel (and some terrific cameos), totes magotes.

  • Richard Corliss, TIME Magazine

    The picture is worth catching for the delicate and toxic nuances of Rudd's performance.

  • Dana Stevens, Slate

    Though the script doesn't always rise to their level, I Love You, Man is more than worth seeing for the chemistry between the shambling Segel and the endlessly inventive Rudd.

    I Love You, Man is an often surprising, mostly hilarious and offbeat Hollywood comedy. It's expertly performed by a wall to wall cast of A list comedians and fresh 'slice of life' situations that are both low key and deliciously lewd. It has empathy and sensitivity… More

    Funny.

  • Eugene B


    The ultimate (and possibly first and only) 'bromantic' comedy. Rudd and Segal make the perfect couple and orchestrate phenomenal chemistry with a brilliant script and hilarious dialogue. 4/5

  • Albert K


    Hilarious. Meet-the-Parents-like movie.

  • Dean !


    Much better than expected for this Bro-mance comedy! Quite funny all the way through, without being too silly, childish. Far from brilliant but good to see a twist on the rom-com genre.
