In the last month of the past decade, we put our readership through the ringer. We unleashed list after list of our favorites of the decade and the year. And if you can suffer through one more round of awesomeness, it will all be over. For now.

End of the year lists usually come in tens or some sort of multiple of ten but here, as you will see, there are only seven slots. No, I’m not purposely trying to be subversive, nor was this result of laziness, and I assure you that it wasn’t an attempt to gyp you out of those bottom three slots. There just weren’t ten great, unequivocally funny comedies released this year.

While none of us are man enough to say, we think that ‘I Love You, Man’ was pretty cool, but that doesn’t mean we didn’t find 5 things to break up over.

Well, I wish I had some of that ability to look into the future that Nicolas Cage has, because then I would get a lot more of my predictions right. Knowing won the weekend with a haul of $24.8 million.

With this weekend’s release of I Love You, Man, the recent trend of comedies centered on platonic male relationships—the ‘bromance’—is articulated to its furthest extent thus far, taking the traditional genre formula of the romantic comedy and replacing the traditional male-female love story with two heterosexual males. While this trend of celebrating intimate male friendships is pervasive and seemingly wholly new in mainstream American comedies, the determining predecessors for this trend, and its balance of male and female characters, contains roots in canonical films of 1960s and 70s New Hollywood.

As you may know, the Paramount Pictures comedy I Love You, Man has hit theaters today. And in addition to Cole Abaius’ positive review of the film, we also wanted to give you a sneak peak via a few clips, just in case you are still on the fence.

Somehow this day would not be complete without a little puking scene. Why? Because that is how we roll here at FSR… always classy. Also classy is this new redband clip from the upcoming Paramount Pictures release I Love You Man, starring Paul Rudd and Jason Segel.
