This is a pigskin equivalent of Robert DeNiro hooking up Ben Stiller to his CIA-surplus polygraph machine in Meet the Parents, only without the electrodes, wires, needles, cuffs or finger clips. This is a balding, bespectacled NFL coach going all Larry ("Curb Your Enthusiasm") David on Brett Favre, locking him in that squinty stare and tilting his head side to side while he searches for veracity, like a Peeping Tom craning his neck to peek over the window sill.

Movie review: Don’t get duped 'Duplicity' star power Mar 30, 2009
The writer of the Meet the Parents and Meet the Fockers and writer/director of Along Came Polly (2004) is in familiar territory here and seems quite comfortable. Lou Ferrigno as himself plays a key factor in the story, while Jon Favreau and Jaime Pressly play a hilariously dysfunctional married couple. (Santa Maria Times)
Predictablility doesn't equal failure with 'I Love You, Man' Mar 28, 2009
It all works wonderfully because Rudd, doing his best Ben Stiller from "Meet the Parents," is simultaneously awkward and charming. When Peter first calls Sydney and leaves a voice mail, the scene is only slightly less excruciating than the Jon Favreau version from "Swingers." Favreau, by the way, makes every second of his limited screen time count in "I Love You, Man." He's the jerky husband of Zooey's pal (Jaime Pressly), and as a couple they are a reoccurring treat.

"Rudd has always been an endearing actor (in "Clueless," especially, he was the kind of guy women wanted to squeeze and take home), but in more recent roles, like those in and he's had more of a chance to show his deadpan, devilish side. In "I Love You, Man" he brings everything together, and it works perfectly.
