Bad Bromance is a 2015 comedy-drama film directed by Andrew Mogel and Jarrad Paul, starring Jack Black, James Marsden, and Kathryn Hahn. The movie tells the story of two former friends, Dan (Jack Black) and Jerry (James Marsden), who reconnect after years of estrangement. Dan is a successful lawyer who seems to have it all - a beautiful wife and a thriving career. Jerry, on the other hand, has never quite grown up and continues to live off of his father's wealth, despite being in his thirties. The two men were inseparable in college, but drifted apart after a prank gone wrong resulted in Dan's expulsion from school.

When Jerry shows up at Dan's office one day, the two men begin to reminisce about the good old days. Jerry convinces Dan to go out for a drink, and the night turns into an all-out party. The next morning, Dan wakes up with a hangover and no memory of the previous night's events.

As the two men start spending more time together, Jerry's irresponsible behavior begins to jeopardize Dan's career and marriage. Dan's firm is preparing for a big lawsuit, and the last thing he needs is to get caught up in Jerry's antics. But Jerry doesn't seem to care, and he continues to drag Dan down with him.

Kathryn Hahn plays the role of Dan's wife, Pam. She is a successful interior designer who is frustrated with Dan's neglect of their relationship. She is also suspicious of Jerry's motives and doesn't trust him around her husband.

As the tension between Dan and Jerry builds, the two men must confront the issues that led to their falling out years ago. Along the way, they learn valuable lessons about friendship, loyalty, and growing up.

The film's humor is based largely on the contrast between Black and Marsden's characters. Black plays the straight-laced, responsible lawyer while Marsden is the carefree slacker. The dynamic between the two actors is entertaining and provides some genuinely funny moments.

Despite its humorous elements, the film also explores more serious themes such as addiction and the consequences of one's actions. Dan and Jerry's relationship is complicated, and the film delves into the root causes of their problems.

Overall, Bad Bromance is an enjoyable film that delivers both laughs and emotional depth. The performances by Black, Marsden, and Hahn are strong, and the story is engaging throughout. The film is a testament to the power of friendship and the importance of taking responsibility for one's actions.
