Along Came Polly (2004) 5/10

Starring : Ben Stiller, Jennifer Aniston, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Debra Messing
Director : John Hamburg
Running Time : 86 mins

I really didn’t expect much from this, the adverts looked bad enough, but once I got into it, it wasn’t that bad. Ben Stiller plays a risk assessment manager for an insurance company who is phobic of everything exciting or different. On the rebound after his wife leaves him on their honeymoon, he runs into an old schoolfriend (Aniston) who he quickly starts dating. The problem is, she’s the exact opposite of him and enjoys everything dangerous and unusual!

On the whole, Stiller and Aniston are believable in their roles. There are some obvious set-pieces throughout, and Hoffman is really disappointing.
