Of course there are tons of buddy-movies. An incredibly popular movie of this genre was Swingers, in which two guys in their low-to-mid-twenties pursue women. They do it with style -mostly- of the neo-lounge scene. This is the movie that spawned the phrase, 'Vegas, baby, vegas.' Directed by Doug Liman, Swingers stars Jon Favreau, Vince Vaughn and Ron Livingston.
I couldn't help but think of Swingers when I finally saw Flight of the Conchords. This is a HBO TV series about a New Zealand band of the same name that comes to New York to make it big. They're a real band, of the humourous-folksy variety, and their songs are woven into the episodes. It was mainly the interaction between the two guys (Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement), and especially their discussions about women, that made this link for me.
Also, call me crazy, but I think that Rachel Blanchard (in the video, below, from the show) kinda looks like Heather Graham in her Swingers style (in the photo).
