There are some funny and touching moments in this film. Peter Klaven (Paul Rudd) is about to be married but has no candidate to be his best man as he has always had girl friends. His fiancée’ Zooey (Rashida Jones) encourages him to look for a buddy and after a fruitless search he finally finds Sydney Fife (Jason Segel) who is so different from Peter, including being outgoing and smooth with the ladies, that he and Peter become best friends. In fact, Peter’s rather unusual way of running words together begins to rub off on Sydney and Sydney’s confidence begins to rub off on Peter. However, another problem develops when Zooey feels she is being ignored. One of the funny scenes include Sydney and Peter “jamming” to Rush music.
However, this film is far from a family film. It is loaded with sexual comments and innuendos, and peppered with strong language. We are unable to award our Dove “Family-Approved” Seal to this film as a family-friendly film.
