The films success hangs on how much you can like the central characters, and as they are both played by Jason Segel and Emily Blunt who its hard not to like the five year engagement does run fairly smoothly with a decent amount of laughter at the start a not a funny (But still very funny) lull in the middle and a quick rushed ending which it manages to get away with thanks to this scene www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gvps0Q9-UqQ which is by far the funniest of the film.

Way more funny than I expected. I heard bad things about this movie so I was worried when starting to watch it, but once it started I was cracking up. Even though there are semi-serious parts for the most part its a funny romantic-comedy. Jason and Emily have amazing chemistry, and Chris and Alison were great supporting. All together it was a funny film that I enjoyed.

A strong comic ensemble headed by Jason Segel and Emily Blunt offers a more realistic romantic comedy. Maybe too downbeat for some, but I found it refreshing.

Probably one of the better romantic comedies I've seen. I use the word "romantic" very loosely. Jason Segel is Jason Segel, so if you don't like him, you certainly won't like this. Also... Alison Brie with a bad English accent...?

ik heb de film zelfs ni eens afgekeken omdat em zo saai en lang is. Het verhaal is goed ma de film zou sterk ingekort moete worden

Miese Rom-Com mit einem ganz schwachen Hauptdarsteller. Eine Chemie zwischen Blunt und Segel ist nicht zu spüren. Ein paar Schmunzler, aber kein einziger richtiger Lacher. Dazu mit über 2 Stunden viel zu lang. Eine charmante Emily Blunt und ein guter Rhys Ifans retten den Film knapp vor einem totalen Desaster.

I checked out of this one right around the time that Segal became a mountain man for no good reason whatsoever. Long on running time, short on laughs, and interminably dull through the middle. Shame, because the first twenty or thirty minutes were promising, and Blunt and Segal had great chemistry. Ending was dumb as all hell too.

I've heard a lot of mediocre things about this movie but found myself really enjoying it, so perhaps the low expectations made this movie much more enjoyable. It is definitely too long by 10-20 minutes but the first hour is really funny and the emotional payoff etc. is earned. Jason Segel and Emily Blunt have surprisingly solid and easy chemistry onscreen and even if it doesn't reach the comedic height of its peers, it's much more intelligent and realistic. I don't think it will please everyone, but it's worth watching once and both sexes can enjoy it.

AKA The Five Year Movie

Sweet and funny and stars Emily Blunt. Emily Blunt. It has a really good supporting cast. It also features Van Morrison songs on the soundtrack. That's always a good thing. Did I mention it stars Emily Blunt? I will fight anyone who says that Emily Blunt isn't the most charming damn actress in Hollywood.
