I Love You, Man

Dear reader,

I absolutely love Jason Segel. I am a full fan of How I Met Your Mother, having started somewhere in the middle of season 1. Everyone I talk to that has seen the show loves Jason Segel.

That being said, I Love You Man is a great movie. Starring Paul Rudd (always a hoot with his deadpan face) and Rashida Jones (INCREDIBLE actress, most notably from The Office, that's right PAM BEASLEY, she was there first), the story talks about a man who has no guy friends trying to find guy friends for his upcoming wedding.

I'll openly admit it, I have more girl friends than I do guy friends. That being said, having just spent the last weekend with quite possibly the four coolest guy friends ever, one of them being my best friend since SIXTH grade, I know that I will have enough close guy friends to choose as my groomsmen.

Still, the idea of love in this movie is very real. When asked why he was marrying Zoey (Rashida Jones' character), Paul Rudd's character doesn't immediately have an answer spring to mind. However, later on, in an argument with Jason Segel (the new best friend), he yells out a million different reasons, and then when apologizing to Zoey, even more reasons pop up.

When people ask me about love, I do exactly what Paul Rudd's character does. On the spot my mind blanks, all I know is that I do love her. Then later, without thinking of it, I can list out a million different reasons.

It's strange how life works that way, isn't it?
