Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)

Jason Segel is a likeable presence on film and his willingness to appear ridiculous - for example, here appearing in regular and unflattering full-frontal nude scenes - helps ground this ensemble comedy about a breakup complicated by celebrity; it's a film that easily could have been a puerile mess but thanks enormously to Segel's shamelessness it is actually very funny.

I Love You, Man (2009)

A likeable loner played by Paul Rudd (who does likeable goofball reliably) needs a bestman and so embarks on some platonic, male-to-male heterosexual dating, in this laid-back comedy with a script that cleverly works in solutions to some obvious problems like why the lead has no friends if he is so darn likeable and why he doesn't ask his brother to be his best man.

The Muppets (2011)

An amusing Muppet movie in which Gary, his girlfriend and Walter gather the muppets together for a reunion they hope will raise the funds needed to save the old muppet studio from a ruthless oil tycoon...maniacal laugh.
