I Love You, Man is the first in a trilogy of movies I am anxious to see this Spring. The other two are Adventureland and State of Play. ILYM lived up to its plaudits. It delicately handled the sensitive topic of bromances. There are essentially two ways to develop a bromance. One is to have MTV produce a show for you where you can pick your brofriend out of 20 guys as Brodie Jenner did. The other is to utilize modern day dating search rituals except this time you are searching for a bro as opposed to a babe. This is what the character in ILYM did. The movie successfully establishes a new genre for movies – bromantic comedies – and while there may be some overlaps with romantic comedies, the moral of this movie is that bromances are more than romances. In addition, we learn that bromances have to be nurtured with great patience and that bromances can tend to eclipse romances if one is not careful. We also learn that if your reggae imitation accent sounds like a leprechaun you should scrap it. So set aside a couple hours for quality bromance – you will not be disappointed.
