BroMance

The last movie Tintin caught was in mid-June - "I Love You, Man". I know, it was one of the most unlikely movie to watch when you have the choice of numerous Hollywood blockbusters, especially when this guy-meets-guy 'romantic' comedy almost defies sexual norms and boasts a largely unfamiliar cast

The movie poked fun at how men have been changed by girl-power culture. The lead Peter has no trouble relating to women, but to relate to men, he must first figure out how to be one as he goes on his desperate search for a pal to be his best man. The show revealed his overly sincere and sensitive side actually prevents him from indulging in 
the gloriously insensitive modes of male bonding (the sex chatter, sports talk, chips and beer). He went on blind dates and barked on the wrong tree on a few incidents (think: metrosexual that gave him a goodnight kiss, in the lips. Horrors!). The nightmare ended when Peter met Sydney (this statement just sounds so wrong), and when he tried a bit too hard (and really lousy) in getting in touch with his masculine side. The comedic element went into complete overdrive as Peter the complete idiot jackass started sprouting unbelievable niggie slang and nicknames to appear "cool".

What I totally enjoyed was Peter's mesmerizingly pathetic attempt to fit into something that is so not him. The script was rude, guyish, and almost liberating for a good laugh after a lousy week at work. My guess is that it will soon be available at the video rental section.

The complicated love affairs in this movie reminds me of a song from one of the best TVB serials in recent years "冲上云霄".

对我好　对我好　好到无路可退　可是我也很想有个人陪
才不愿把你得罪　于是那么迂迴
一时进　一时退　保持安全范围　这个阴谋让我好惭愧
享受被爱滋味　却不让你想入非非

就让我们虛伪　有感情別浪费　不能相爱的一对　亲爱像两兄妹爱让我们虛伪　我得到於事无补的安慰　你也得到模仿爱上一个人的机会
残忍也不失慈悲　这样的关系你说多完美

眼看你　看着我　看得那么曖昧　被爱爱人原來一样可悲
为什么竟然防备　別人给我献媚
不能推　不能要　要了怕你误会　让我想起曾经爱过谁
我所要的她不给　好像小偷一样卑微
