Stupid, stupid men

"I Love You Too" is an agreeable enough comedy that badly outstays its welcome towards the end, which is a shame, because it has some funny moments.

Brendan Cowell plays the typical commitment phobic immature bed hopper who has found the one he wants to be with, but gets ditched because he doesn't know how to tell her how he feels. He meets Peter Dinklage, a SNAG who offers to help him. There's also Peter Helliar, playing who else but the sidekick to Cowell's first incarnation.

There are also cameo roles by Rose Byrne, Hamish Blake, Angus Sampson and Kim Gyngell.

How many times have we seen this plot? It's kept buoyant at first because funny moments and the charm of the actors makes it feel fresh, but of course it can only end one way, and once you realise what you're in for, the movie is on autopilot and you aren't paying attention.

There are also aspects that don't fit a silly romantic comedy, eg. Cowell's character having lost his parents. The movie doesn't go for any touching moments, nor depths to its characterisations, so why bother with that?
