Mr C and myself watched this ages ago, and in our recent move, I misplaced my book of notes. I have recovered it at last. We watched this as a last minute choice, when we were both exhausted and wanted something to relax to.

Conclusions
Never mind hoping for a single laugh out loud moment, Mr C and I laughed throughout the entire movie. We quoted it to each other for an entire day, and then we chuckled some more. I’ve forgotten it now, but would quite easily watch it over again.
STYA Rating: 5/5

I totally agree. He seems to hold together many of the films he has recently starred in. Role Models and Forgetting Sarah Marshall come to mind. Although I always confuse him with Jason Bateman, but that’s probably just my odd mind. Jason Segel also did quite well in this film, I thought. Previously he had just come across as big oaf, but taking a more prominent role in I Love You Man, I thought he did okay.

I’m not sure I’ve seen him in anything before (big surprise) but I thought he was good in this. I will keep my eyes peeled for other appearances.
