[T]his unpretentious crowd-pleaser is still punchy enough to send packed theaters reeling in riotous laughter.

[Segel's] performance here is loose and confident and very attractive. His star is rising.

Rudd ... is perfectly cast -- no actor this side of Hugh Grant is more comfortable getting flustered.

2.5/5

A "comedy" without many jokes (save Thomas Lennon) and a surprisingly understated Segel performance. Are we really expected to believe that Peter and Zooey decide this doofus helped their marriage? That's the real joke.

3.5/4

I Love You, Man administers a welcomed sense of authenticity that will keep you reflecting on its appeal long after leaving the theater.

5/10

The plot offers virtually no surprises, and its formulaic approach to a fairly unique perspective on the awkward humor of male bonding doesn't help the film's impact.

I rarely like these comedies but this had a good feel to it and though lacking laugh out loud moments, the humour was decent and the characters were all fun. Watched on DVD.

It had its moments but with the star power of Rashida Jones, Jamie Presley, Adam Samberg, Jason Segel and Paul Rudd it was quite the let down.
