I've finally seen almost everything I wanted to from 2009, eight months after the fact. Some of these I saw more than a year ago, and some last week, so the frail memory is making this task difficult ... here is my much-belated, best-of 2009 movie list. Discuss.

I feel like I Love You Man should rate at least a "Meh." It's not the next 40-Year Old Virgin or anything, but I never regretted watching it. I feel like it got a bad reputation from a lot of people. It's not incredible, but it's not shitty. It's a good Meh Movie. There are a lot of funny scenes if you think about it.
I thought it was pretty shitty, not the worst movie of the year and better than a lot of stuff, but I have no desire to ever see it again. It actively grated on my nervous and made me irritable while watching it. It sucked.
To each his own.
