I Love You, Man – A (Gotta Own)
Paul Rudd and Jason Segel strike comedy gold again, as funny as both Forgetting Sarah Marshal and Role Models. Paul Rudd, who’s newly engaged, realizes that he has no male friends that he could use to be his best man. To solve this he goes on a search for a new best friend. That friend is found in Segel, a go-with-the-flow type of guy who knows how to have fun. The film is full with the awkwardness of Rudd and the crudeness of Segel. I found myself laughing from start to finish. All of the supporting characters are hilarious, including his father, brother and Lou Ferrigno, the original Incredible Hulk. If you’ve been a fan of all the great comedies of the last few years then I not only recommend this to be rented, but to be purchased as well.

17 Again – B (Gotta Rent)
17 Again was a surprisingly good comedy starring Matthew Perry and Zac Efron. The storyline is anything but original, as it’s just like Big, Vice Versa, and 13 Going on 30 just to name a few, where something happens to change an adult back into a child to get a second chance. Although Matthew Perry looks nothing like an older Zac Efron, whom he’s supposed to be as a child, they both play their roles well and provide a decent amount of laughs. Leslie Mann (Knocked Up, 40 Year Old Virgin, Funny People) is the best part of the movie, playing Matthew Perry’s wife who is seeking a divorce. I’m definitely not a fan of Zac Efron, however this is still worth a watch despite him being cast in the main role. The movie isn’t going to win any awards, and probably not something you’ll want to buy, but it is worth a rent as it provides quite a few laughs.
