I didn’t know what to expect. Again, I’m a big fan of star power and I just didn’t want to hinge my hopes on Rashida Jones and how I kinda liked her character on The Office, but really I just wanted Jim to hook up with Pam. Plus the last time I saw Paul Rudd in anything, he was in another situational puss role as resident man-bitch in Knocked Up (one of my favorites). Jason Segal I didn’t know. In fact, at one point, I wondered if he was British. At the behest of the Dominus, though, I sat still long enough to watch this movie and I laughed until my side hurt. I don’t fully understand the dude dynamic. At 33, I still have lots of questions about boys, but I could related to the feeling of being more comfortable with the opposite sex while trying to forge a bond in terrain that should be familiar but feels more alien. The transition from Peter’s chick-like nervousness about not seeming too desperate to strike up a hetero relationship with [Segal’s character] Sidney was classic, rehearsing his lines and what-not. Eventually, he grew a pair and became a real boy. I’ve watched this movie twice already. It goes in that category with High Fidelity and Uptown Saturday Night, the ‘whenever I want to laugh’ section of my DVD collection. I Loved it, Man! I didn’t know what to expect.

The intimacy based love triangle was unique too.

Personally I can somewhat relate to Paul Rudds character, where it's much easier for me to make friends with females than with males. And though Im sure somewhere a person identical to his character exist, Im sure the character was exagerated quite a bit. I have a hard time belivieving that a straight man can have absolutely no guy friends what so ever. But hey that just makes a funnier script, and it worked. I very much aggree too that Rudd did a great job at making this friendship between the 2 of them (Rudd and Segal)perfectly straight and hilarious. I will say though that Segal and Rudd evened each other out where it was almost the perfect comedy. Rudd bought the aukward hilariousness that would really exist in that scenario, and Segal is the classic fun slacker guy, that is usually played perfectly by Seth Rogan, but they got a good replacement Brilliant movie.
