Fun, charming and sweet are the first words that pop into mind after watching the latest romantic comedy, I Love You, Man.
The movie revolves around a couple who are about to get married. Everything is moving smoothly with the wedding arrangements. That's until the groom realises he doesn't have any friends, and therefore will not be able to have a best man at the wedding. He then begins a search to find a best man by having man-dates. What transpires through these dates is the vehicle in which the humour, emotions, and his character development are brought about. What I thoroughly enjoyed was the way Paul Rudd (who played the groom, Peter Klaven) was so geniune with his humour. It was so real and relatable that it makes the film even more authentic (the authenticity kinda reminded me of Anne Hathaway's character in Rachel Getting Married).
Jason Segell as one of the man-dates also complemented this sincerity of the characters. Music legend Quincy Jones' daughter Rashida Jones did a fantastic job as the bride, providing the sweet element into the relationship, not that the groom lacked that sensitive side. Having been a fan of the sitcom, My Name Is Earl, it was great seeing Jaime Presley keeping her stance as a strong comedy actress. Although Kym Whitley only has a small role, her presence was also felt. Another noteworthy performance is that of JK Simmons, who has impresed me in his comedic roles, including in Burn After Reading and New In Town (which by the way was co-produced by Babyface's ex-wife Tracy Edmonds).
Romantic comedies have always been centred around women and their feelings, but this time around the attention is placed on the guys. I Love You, Man will make you laugh from beginning to end. The injection of just a right dose of some seriousness adds more substance into the film. I Love You, Man opens at cinemas nationwide on the 24th of April 2009.
With the SAMA's just a forth-night away, spirits are flying high from different musicians that have been nominated, the artists that will be rocking the stage, as well as presenters handing out the statuettes, and music lovers and supporters throughout the country. The tickets are selling and selling very fast, so hurry up and get yours (from Computicket).
It's promising to be a fun-filled night, what with current IT boy Trevor Noah announced as the host for the night. I believe this choice was the right and wise one by the organising committee, that boy is extremely entertaining on stage, immensely talented. I'm really looking forward to the charisma he will inject in the once very lively affair.
