...After Knocked Up (a purportedly heterosexual romance where the closest connection is between Rogen and Rudd) and Superbad (where the two high-school chums end up together in a sleeping bag) and another Apatow-produced comedy, I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry (where two straight firefighters solder their emotional bond by getting married), the bromance may have reached its logical conclusion: guys going on man-dates.

Unfortunately, attempts at sexual honesty backfire when they resort to reductive characterizations of gender niches.
