Members of the band OK Go appear at the end, during the credits, as the band in the wedding ceremony.

I Love You, Man is not quite on par with the other Judd Apatow movies, mainly because this is not a Judd Apatow movie, it's just kind of masquerading as one. 

QUALITY:
Decent.  The picture is clear enough and the audio is crisp and lossless.

BONUS FEATURES:

Alternate takes, deleted scenes, gag reel, commentary, extended scenes, featurettes.

The bonus features are ok but they aren't quite what the "o-rama" features are on Apatow DVDs, but they try.  There are a TON of alternate takes that are mostly funny and the gag reel only falls into the "funny faces" hole now and then.  The biggest waste of this movie is the pointless casting of the usual genius Andy Samberg.  They don't properly use his comedic skills and the role could have been substituted for anyone.  The movie itself is pretty funny but also tends to miss a lot of marks, making it fall short of a great comedy.  Rescuing it from those falls are the incredibly likeable cast of Paul Rudd, Jason Segel and Rashida Jones.
