How it all started
The creators of the film, John Lucas and Scott Moore, the comedy "I Want Like You" is not the only joint project. One of the most famous and profitable scenarios they wrote was The Hangover Party.
The idea of āācreating a film came from the screenwriters thanks to their own friends. Once they had a rest in a big cheerful company, where there were bachelors and family people. Lucas and Moore noted that the gulf between these people is huge. They do not understand each other, and most importantly, they believe that life "beyond the family line" is much more interesting and simpler.
So the idea of āācreating the film "I want you like" was born. Actors known for other roles complemented their professional collection with interesting work. Although the film deals with the problems of family life, it also features scenes with drugs and obscene language. Therefore, the picture was assigned category 17+.
Jason Bateman, aka family man Dave
Jason is not the only one in the Beitman family who can be called a movie star. His father, Kent, is a writer and director, and his older sister is Justin Bateman, a popular American actress.
Although Jason starred a lot, his most successful work is considered to be the series āDelayed Developmentā. The role of Michael Bluth brought Bateman fame and the Golden Globe.

Bachelor Mitch - Ryan Reynolds
People with completely different acting destinies were collected by the film āI Want Like Youā. The actors of this film in different ways achieved the success and love of the audience. If Bateman grew up in a family that is familiar with the film industry, then Ryan was born and raised in an environment where they have nothing to do with the creation of cinema. His father is a former sales policeman, and his mother is also a salesperson. The small homeland of Ryan and his three older brothers is Vancouver.
Being very young, Reynolds starred in the youth series, where he played the role of Billy. And then he was waiting for work in many famous films: āThe King of Partiesā, āThe Proposalā, āX-Men. Start. Wolverine ā,ā Yes, no, probably ā,ā I want you like it. ā
