I love You Man

I asked a friend of mine to suggest me a movie to watch, something I can watch at home. The first movie he suggested, Scent of a Woman (Al Pacino), seen, then he said I love you man. I though he meant to he really like me for not missing an Al Pacino movie and then he said Role Models. It all of a sudden occurred to me that when he said "I love you man" he was suggesting a movie. Next day I tried to tell a female friend the title of the movie "I Love You Man is a good movie, must watch", she got scared for a minute, really? scared? Well, that's what she said.

This movie is about a guy Peter Klaven (Paul Rudd) who is having a good life, with good job and a girl friend. He propose her and later realises that he has never had a good male friend all his life, the one who can be a best man at his wedding. So his family tries to fix him up with some guys who can be his friends and they all turn up to be quite a disaster only for him to eventually meet Sydney Fife (Jason Segel), you must recall him for the TV series 'How I met your mother' (Marshal Eriksen) . Peter and Sydney hit off really well and happens to become really good friends without anyone having them set up.

Paul Rudd and Jason Segel also appeared together in a movie before this, Knocked up (one of my favourite movie) . I Love You Man is a very light movie, just like Knocked Up. No heavy drama or emotion, not a kind of movie where every thing will go wrong with a guy and all of a sudden by the end of the everything will falls in to place. A normal person can relate more to such movies than those heavy packed drama or thriller movies. Unless you actually think you are Spiderman or Batman everytime you walk out of a moive hall. I Love You Man wont leave an everlasting impression on your minds but nevertheless, its a movie you can really enjoy.

I feel lucky to have never ran out of friends. That's a perk you enjoy if you have lived in a hostel during your school or college. But it also made me thing of another thing, the perfectly knitted web of incidences that defines whom we are with. The series of events that connects us with people we know. We really cant set people to meet intentionally. They will meet if they have to. All our intelligence and smartness can be nothing if it is not meant to be. You can call it a plan of nature or destiny or whatever. It is inevitable and it works like a clockwork.
