I Love You, Man

So I set out to write a review of I Love You, Man, a cute funny movie starring Paul Rudd, Jason Segal, and the chick Jim use to date on the office. All of them are very funny, competent actors. The script is very well written. The music is fun. The-AAAAH!! God! I can't go in with this. look. I love you man was a very fun movie, well made, and a lot better than any of the other crap out today, but it's just so supremely similar.

I don't want to insult the writer-director, (AS IF ANYONE FUCKING READS THIS SITE) who has worked on two of my favorite shows, Stella and Undeclared. I don't want to insult the actors, because they do a great job, and I've been big fans of them for a while, but the whole movie feels like another sweet, hilarious, heartfelt, lovable Apatow movie. I don't want to make it seem like I didn't love I Love You, Man. I did. there just isn't much else to say about it. It may not be good enough to spend $10 on, but it's a hilarious movie, and probably the best way to spend a friday night, (as long as you haven't already seen Adventureland more times than you have brain cells, like I have) but i can't really say much else.

This being said, I will spend the rest of my review time reviewing the new "Honey Bunches of Oats" spin off cereal, "Just Bunches"

I bought Just Bunches because I love Honey Bunches of Oats, but my favorite part is the Bunches. Just Bunches was exactly what I wanted, per the title. the box is surprisingly small, about three fourths of the size of a normal box, but the cereal is incredibly dense. A small bowl will fill you up. there are plenty of different flavors, but I opted to get the caramel one. I didn't really get the idea that there is much of a difference between the flavors, but it was pretty good. I was enjoying myself, until about halfway through the bowl, I had realized. "WAIT A SECOND. This is just granola!" I was super hyped about this cereal, but towards the end, it ended up being just like eating granola.

Come to think of it, "Just Bunches" is in many ways similar to I Love You, Man. they're both delicious upon first taste, but halfway through them, I realize I've had them many times before, just with a different flavor. sure, it'll tie you over until lunchtime, and it tastes good, but it seems like you could just go out and buy a bunch of granola bars, crumble them up together, dip them in milk, and get the same feeling. so, go out and buy Just Bunches, but remember that there's plenty of better cereal out there right now.
