Engaged
to
the
woman
of
his
dreams
yet
uncomfortable
with
the
prospect
of
not
having
a
best
man
for
his
upcoming
wedding,
a
successful
real
estate
agent
with
no
male
friends
schedules
a
series
of
"man
dates"
in
hopes
of
finding
a
suitable
candidate
for
the
big
day.
Peter
Klaven
(Paul
Rudd)
is
just
like
most
other
guys,
only
when
it
comes
to
making
friends
he's
always
been
a
bit
withdrawn.
After
proposing
to
his
girlfriend,
Zooey
(Rashida
Jones),
however,
Peter
quickly
realizes
that
he
doesn't
even
have
any
friends
close
enough
to
qualify
for
the
role
of
best
man.
And
what
better
method
to
find
the
perfect
best
man
than
to
spend
some
time
getting
to
know
the
most
qualified
candidate
for
the
position?
While
most
of
Peter's
"man
dates"
are
incredibly
awkward
from
the
very
beginning,
the
desperate
bridegroom
is
surprised
to
hit
it
off
with
Sydney
Fife
(Jason
Segel)
on
their
very
first
meeting.
Sydney
is
charming,
personable,
and
opinionated,
and
before
long
he
and
Peter
have
become
inseparable.
But
this
isn't
exactly
what
Zooey
had
in
mind,
because
the
closer
that
Peter
grows
to
his
new
"bro,"
the
further
he
drifts
from
the
woman
who
will
soon
be
his
wife.
Now,
with
the
wedding
closing
in
and
the
drama
heating
up,
Peter
begins
to
ponder
a
means
of
staying
good
friends
with
Sydney
while
still
remaining
true
to
the
woman
he
loves.
