Most misleading movie title ever. It was longer than 2 hrs. Caught this movie at a screening today.From the time i saw the first trailer, i had high hopes for this movie. Turns out, most of the jokes are already in the trailer.Reason i went for this screening: I am a big fan of Zombieland. Movie takes too long to setup the characters and premise. Coming from the director of Zombieland, this movie is about half-engaging as Zombieland.Aziz Ansari gets the best lines. Jesse does his stammering- with-heart-of-gold again. Danny Mcbride is funny for a short-while, then goes to be creepy. Michael Pena again plays a Hispanic thug. The movie is not probably as bad as i make it to be, but if i didn't enjoy it after seeing it for free...

I Love You, Man
(2009)
Lot of laughs
5 March 2009
I saw this film at an advance screening near my place. When i reached there, there were people who were in queue from 1 hr back. The theater was full and the audience was laughing throughout.
Peter is a ladies man. He is a dolphin in water with women, but he doesn't have any guy-friends. For his wedding he needs a best man, and for the first time in his life he tries to make some guy-friends.After some comic misadventures he meets a friendly guy,Sydney.
I watched the film with my wife and we both enjoyed it. The jokes and gags are perfectly done. Paul Rudd is perfect as the awkward guy.Jason Segel is very comfortable. The story is very predictable, ending a little rushed. But it was worth for the laughs.
The trailer did not really give me much hope for this film,but the movie is for once better than the trailer.

Most over-rated movie in malayalam
30 January 2009
Warning: Spoilers
There is no murder mystery here. If you expect a murder investigation or something in the lines of cbi diarykurippu, poirot/holmes style, you are in for a nasty surprise.
Maybe at the time when it released it was a "new thing"..but even compared to world cinema at the same time, this pales badly in comparison. There are a lot of guys who feel this is a classic of sorts. They remind me of a malayalam proverb which tells of a frog in a well thinking the well is the world.
Only saving grace of this film is the brilliant acting from Bharat gopi and Jalaja.You can see Mammootty in one of his early roles here.

Its a bore-fest
7 January 2009
A film full of clichés, illogical actions and bore.
Some of the points: When normal people get home, they turn on the lights if it is dark. these guys never do.
When somebody bangs their car from back and there is a menacing guy on the road, they leave the car and run, instead of escaping in the car.
He searches for bullets of a gun he doesn't know how to use. Then he suddenly knows how to use it.
Liv Tyler runs and falls in her own house compound because of a ridge(nothing new). Come on, she doesn't know her own house's geography?
Villains have very small attention span:They scare you, then go somewhere else banging into things.
