Friends

Just saw I love you, man, and man, it was great.

Earlier today, I found out a person I barely knew, passed away. I know a great friend who nearly passed away doing the same thing, riding a motorcycle. Now, in the movie, I love you, man, the lead character never really had a best friend. In the midst of his, so it seems, perfect life, while he's about to get married and earn a large commission at his job, the lack of a singe best friend makes him find that missing piece of the puzzle we all search for in life.

It sounds like a simple plot that I believe nobody's ever done quite like this, especially this funny. I do recall The Sandlot, as a nice throwback movie of the search for friendship, but that movie was mostly about summer fun, baseball, and growing up. This movie, I love you, man, was purely about friendship and when you're all grown up, how you do you help each other grow together, you know what I mean. Well, I suppose, I really don't know how else to put it, it's not about the destination, but the journey. How much is a journey worth, without anybody to share it with?

I suggest anyone I know, to go see I love you, man.

Thanks to All My Friends for being All My Friends,

Chris
