I Love You, Man is a predictable comedy that Viacom was probably expecting to make more cash than it did. Still, it’s a giant pile of predictable comedy shit that Paul Rudd and Jason Segel shouldn’t have had to wade through. Another thing that troubled me was seeing how Geddy Lee is starting to look like a transgendered Ozzy Osbourne impersonator. Screw this film for ruining my illusions about Rush. Also, the stuff with Lou Ferrigno was forced and they didn’t give the man the chance to really blossom. J. Jonah Jameson and the Weekend Update anchor were fun, though.

GIGANTIC

Special Features

• Deleted and Alternate Scenes
• Trailer
• Still Gallery

Gigantic is yet another indie showcase for the awesomeness that is Zooey Deschanel. Paul Dano is the lead, but his maitress salesman character plays second fiddle to Harriett. Zooey Deschanel plays the same free-spirited role that she’s seemingly becoming typecasted in, but she holds her own against the likes of Asner, Dano and Goodman. The subplot about adopting a Chinese baby is forced, but the movie works around it.
