Along Came Polly
2004 Directed by John Hamburg
Synopsis
For the most cautious man on Earth, life is about to get interesting.
Reuben Feffer (Ben Stiller) is a guy who's spent his entire life playing it safe. Polly Prince (Jennifer Aniston) is irresistible as a free-spirit who lives for the thrill of the moment. When these two comically mismatched souls collide, Reuben's world is turned upside down, as he makes an uproarious attempt to change his life from middle-of-the-road to totally-out-there!

Part of Dastardly Difficult December: film nr.64
Three words:
Replace Ben Stiller.
This actually isn't that bad a film. It has some good comedy and stars the absolutely brilliant Mr. Hoffman who is just hilarious in every single scene he's in.
And then there are the scenes with Ben Stiller, which unfortunately comprise about 90% of the film. He does what he always does and it annoys the crap out of me. Replace him with any semi-talented comedian and this film would have been great.
Oh, and if I ever have to see yet another scene with Ben Stiller getting in trouble on a toilet I think that vein in my head that starts throbbing every time I see him will finally pop.

3 stars simply because of Phillip Seymour Hoffman.
-
Alot better than i thought it would be,Along Came Polly is a good well made rom-com with Ben Stiller & Jennifer Aniston plus cracking support from Phillip Seymour Hoffman.
-
It's far from one of the best rom-coms out there and it's neither memorable nor particularly funny, but it gets 3 stars for 3 simple reasons...
1. Philip
2. Seymour
3. Hoffman -
Not the best comedy in the world, but it's definitely better than I expected, and Philip Seymour Hoffman playing basketball is one of the funniest goddamn things I've ever seen!
-
It has its good moments, but amongst those are the usual pratfalls that befall mainstream dumb comedies.

There are at least fifty other versions of this film and they are all unnecessary. The parts that were meant to be funny, were not funny and ended up being embarrassing. Philip Seymour Hoffman was really the only reason I watched it through to the end.
-
Ben Stiller and Jennifer Aniston have about as much chemistry as two like magnetic poles.

This Something About Mary wannabe is a lousy example of a romantic comedy. The toilet humor was overly forced, the jokes and romantic situations were predictable, character traits were only alluded to, the plot was driven by gags rather than character, and most of all it lacked style. Stiller’s character was better suited for someone like Matthew Broderick, who would have made the phobias a funny but deeply seated emotional problem and not just an excuse to constantly mug the camera. Seymour Hoffman gave us a second rate Jack Black in a nasty role that was way beneath both of them. Needless to say, I’m not too fond of mixing of gross out humor with budding romance – they don’t…

Typical, boring, generic, unfunny rom com that didn't work for me on any level

It's not Zoolander, but it's funny enough.
