There is an audio commentary by director John Hamburg and actors Paul Rudd and Jason Segel. The three guys joke and banter with each other like old friends while heaping a lot of praise on their cast-mates as this track veers into a shameless love fest at times. They also point out acquaintances and crew members who have small roles in the film. They do tell some amusing filming anecdotes which somewhat salvages this commentary.

"The Making of I Love You, Man" is pretty standard press kit material as key cast and crew members talk about the characters and the film's plot. There are plenty of clips from the film along with behind-the-scenes footage.

"Extras" features 22 minutes of outtakes as we see the actors improvise various takes for a given scene that is pretty funny, especially whenever Paul Rudd is involved as he comes up with some amusing variations on dialogue.

Also included are six extended scenes that feature the cast riffing beyond what we saw in the film.

There are three deleted scenes which feature Peter going on a man date where he plays a game of rugby and gets injured. There is a scene where Peter and his brother talk about man crushes and friend sluts over bowling. And we see The State's David Wain as a wedding photographer getting Peter and his friends to do some silly poses.

Finally, there is a pretty funny gag real as cast and crew goof around on the set between and during takes. They also take pleasure in making each other crack up.

I Love You Man covers an interesting territory: men-men friendship. Sure there are a few movies that have done this before this one but I don't think they do it quite as well as ILYM does. The movie is a little formulaic but the two main actors, Paul Rudd and Jason Segel's performances make the movie what it is, an entertaining movie on what could be called "bromance". The movie did fairly well at the box office when it was released in 2009, but I don't think it gets the acclaim it deserves.

Peter Klaven is a real estate agent who just proposed to his wife Zoey. Peter is charming and the couple loves each other but the problem is Peter never had much male friends and can't seem to find a best man for his upcoming wedding. Peter's brother and mother try to find him a guy friend with no success. Klaven eventually meets Sidney Fife, an investor, at one of his open houses and the two quickly become very good friends. Zoey is not too thrilled with Sydney and Peter decides that maybe his relationship with Sydney should be put on hold for a while. It' not a complicated movie and towards the end it gets a little predictable but I Love You Man is a highly enjoyable movie that just about everyone can enjoy. It paints a good portrait of the relationship between men in general, I must say.

This is Paul Rudd at his acting best and most honest; I can't really see anyone but Rudd playing the charming Peter Klaven. Jason Segel for his part delivers a great performance as Sidney Fife a well intentioned and free spirited friend of Peter's. What's great is that they're so different from one another; Peter is a more sensitive guy while Sydney is more of a guy's guy. Rashida Jones was great as Zoey, Peter's wife and the chemistry between the two worked well to a certain degree. The supporting cast only adds more to the movie, the actors were very good. I only have good things to say about I Love You Man, its great comedy that is well worth watching. To me this was one of the highlights of 2009 in terms of movies, an excellent comedy that's funny, touching and filled with emotional appeal that I still enjoy and watch every now and then. 5 stars for this one!

Format:Blu-ray
I loved this movie and it's definitely one that I'll watch again. The premise could have been tricky to handle, and in lesser hands, the film could have been an amusing but forgettable diversion. But director John Hamburg shows his skill by doing an outstanding job making everything work, turning a clever concept into a truly excellent movie. The film is solidly cast throughout, with no weak links, and in fact, there are so many talented actors/actresses that even the minor roles are memorable and funny. While nobody does any scene-stealing, Jon Favreau comes close, with sarcastic mutterings that almost serve like a Greek chorus of cynicism.

As for the main characters, Paul Rudd finally gets a film that capitalizes on his considerable talents as a comedian and a serious actor. The awkward Klaven-isms he delivers throughout the movie had me laughing non-stop. Jason Segel also does an amazing job, treading a fine line between an insensitive buffoon and a good-hearted, perceptive friend. Rashida Jones is witty and believable, leaving no doubt that in spite of his various shortcomings, she loves Peter Klaven. The entire cast is more like an ensemble than a group of supporting characters, and the result is that the movie flows in a very natural way.

The Blu-Ray comes with a generous set of special features, and it's there that you realize the strength of the director. There are some really funny deleted and extended scenes, and it must have been hard to edit them down, but Hamburg wisely decided to exercise great restraint in order to keep the film moving along at a brisk pace. Far too often, comedies over-reach by letting scenes run longer than necessary. It's totally understandable, but Hamburg made the right choice. Besides the deleted and extended scenes, the extras include a gag real, a "making of" featurette, commentary, and more. It's one of the few discs where I've actually watched all the extras.

The Blu-Ray transfer has very good picture quality and a decent audio track. Highly recommended.
