    Too smart for the masses
    That's right. It's an indie gem disguised as a Hollywood bromance. Expectations might get some people confused, first by the style itself, casual and prioritizing shocking value over realism, then by the harsh depiction of the friendship, defined by some as "toxic". A story about being accepted for who you truly are would be lame (not to mention untrue) if you actually were what you think you are.

    No, both characters are deeply flawed, one of them unafraid to unleash the jerk in him, as often happens when someone hits rock bottom, or is about to do so. Meanwhile, the other one is comically submissive. To me this only makes the characters funnier and more memorable.

    At one point the movie explains how sometimes you can do well by doing something wrong, and vice versa. And that much is true, beware of people who are all smiles. But it goes deeper than that. The wedding scene serves as a conclusion to that premise. If someone disagrees with that statement I think it would be healthy to acknowledge it first.

    Men approaching middle-age, things and people are far from easy, but they might be just fine. It's basically a simple feel-good movie but in style and dealing knowledgeably with a subject that should be talked about more. It is unreasonably difficult for older men to make meaningful friends.
