a new blend, with or without legs

[Laurence Horn]

Reviewing the just released "Crazy, Stupid, Love" (yes, both commas are part of the title) in today's NYT--
http://movies.nytimes.com/2011/07/29/movies/crazy-stupid-love-with-steve-carell-review.html
--A. O. Scott characterizes it as:

"a smooth blend of modern comic genres with a surprising undercurrent of dark, difficult emotion. Essentially a study in the varieties of masculine sexual confusion, it travels the circuit from bromance to a kind of Y-chromosome weepie that might be called male-odrama"

A few earlier google hits for "male-odrama", with or without hyphen(s), but maybe it will have staying power, if the genre does.
