I Love You, Man

I finally saw I Love You, Man----- now that it's been out for months. It's about a guy who's never had a best friend. I couldn't get anyone to see it with me, so perhaps I have problems of my own.

So I think I liked the movie. But I have a major beef with Paul Rudd's character. I don't think he's ready for a relationship. He doesn't even know himself yet. Here's the lowdown. He's a girlfriend guy. There are men out there, and I've known a few, who don't really relate to guys and they just always have girlfriends. They put all their time and energy into these relationships and don't attempt to make any friends outside of it. Because he doesn't have guy friends he doesn't really get to be himself and have fun (I mean that in the least offensive way ladies). If you're a girl and your reading this, imagine not having any girl friends.... what kind of person would you be. Every time you get a new lover you adapt to their personality. Friends help you find...well, YOU. Who are you if you're just jumping from relationship to ship to ship? Get off the ship and put your feet on the ground!!!

Annnnyway, back to the film- when he finally gets himself a guy friend he is all flustered and giggly around him. Poor guy. He's just learning how to conduct a friendship and struggling. He says things like "totes magotes," and tries way too hard to come up with a clever nickname for the guy. He ditches his girlfriend constantly because he's afraid he'll loose his new bff. This guys just goes from being a clingy boyfriend to a clingy best friend.hah. He seriously needs to go on a hike through Europe or go on a retreat, or do some kind of soul searching. A best friend is not going to fix the fact that he is a codependent. Seriously, the man's like an infant. I would be afraid to marry him. What will he do if both his wife and best friend have to go out of town for a week on business or something. Follow them? Cry himself to sleep every night? Honestly I don't believe this would really end happily ever after for him unless he got some major therapy. Love doesn't cure that kind of emptiness.
Funny Movie though!
Man, I'm dark.
