The TVI Take

John Hamburg's Paul Rudd / Jason Segel buddy film whose structural inversion, that adult male friendship requires the same courtship-vulnerability romantic relationships do, is more pointed than the trailers suggested. The Rush-fandom subplot is anthropological rather than punchline; the film treats musical-taste alignment as a serious adult-friendship currency.
