I Love You Man Review


I'm gonna keep this short & sweet since I'm headed to the airport in a few hours. Caught this flick, errr about 2 weeks ago. It was cute and entertaining, but not phenomenal, on the same level as "Forgetting Sarah Marshall," but more of a bromantic comedy; but nowhere near as hilarious as "Role Models." It's cute & an all around, funn comedy, but I have a feeling I'm going to like "Adventureland" a lot more.

My rating: 8/10

It's Monday...

I was discussing with Karl the other day about how wonderfully fantastic Liev Schrieber is before I saw Defiance -he had no clue til Imentioned Naomi Watts is his baby mama and the fact that he's Sabretooth- so I suggested he check out his performance in "The Ten," and now so should you. By the by this utterly ridiculous and fantastic film was written and directed by David Wain who also wrote and directed "Role Models," & "Wet Hot American Summer."

"Role Models" Review


David Wain's new comedy "Role Models" stars Paul Rudd (who co-wrote the film with Wain,) and Seann William Scott, who play energy drink salesman that end up having to do community service after a hilarious and ridiculous accident ensues at a high school they were promoting the drink at occurs. They end up at "Sturdy Wings" a mentoring program run by former a straight, and sometimes crazy talking former drug addict, played by the brilliant and insane Jane Lynch, where Rudd and Scott end up as "Bigs" to the 2 most unlikely kids, Chrisopher Mintz-Plasse (McLovin from Superbad,) an uber-nerd obsessed with a live action Dungeons and Dragons/World of War Craft role playing game, and a foul mouthed 8 year old named Ronnie, played by the maginificent Bobb'e J. Thompson that could probably out curse Chris Rock. While I've had a crush on Paul Rudd since Clueless and didn't think he could ever be more amazing than he was in Wet Hot American Summer*, he proved to me he was a leading man in this film.


I've been a David Wain fan since "The State" was on MTV in the early 90's and he's really matures, stepped up his game and still works with the brilliantly talented people he worked with then, like Ken Marino (who I am now convinced is Zach Braff's brother from another mother after this movie.) If you want to laugh and listen to kids and adults with filthy mouths and filthier minds GO SEE THIS MOVIE. Not only is it hilarious, but it's got a lot of heart and legitimately enjoyable. My rating 9.2/10

[*possibly one of THE greatest comedies you'll EVER watch]

I coincidentally saw these containers right after I saw the movie and was inspired to shoot them. Though the tag line isn't as exciting as Minotaur's "Taste the Beast!""Piercing enery that strikes back," is just as awesome/awful.
