The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Along Came Polly is a typical romantic comedy type film released in the early 2000's. Starring Ben Stiller and Jennifer Aniston at around both of their career peaks, this film doesn't offer much of anything special or different than other romantic comedies. Having not high expectations just something to enjoy and something funny, this film didn't deliver at that. Featuring silly gags, and gross out toilet humor, with a predictable plot. This film isn't something in which is to think about, the film is simple a time waster.The chemistry between Stiller and Aniston wasn't much (unless that was the clear point) but there are some decent scenes. Philip Seymour Hoffman plays Ben Stiller's best friend and is quite terrible, unfunny and overall a terrible and selfish friend. As he tries far too hard at being funny and it becomes squeamish and just awkward. Hank Azaria plays a foreign scuba instructor with a bad putting accent, though is only in a few key scenes. Having read some reviews saying how "funny and hilarious" this film was, I just don't see it at all. This film would have been a lot better with a better script of course, and even with Adam Sandler starring instead of Ben Stiller. Overall, Along Came Polly isn't too romantic or comedic. It's quite forgettable if anything.

A sweet, if somewhat middling film starring Stiller and Aniston.

BIG risk analyst didn't see the risk of letting his wife spend the afternoon with a man that she described as being "big"?He tore out the answering machine after it had already played his name?Borrowed scene from Friends? Mot to mention she uses that Rachel character in several movies, which is probably her real personality.Lame

Reuben (Ben Stiller) is a straitlaced risk manager who tries to calculate risk in most everything he does. We witness his marriage to Lisa (Debra Messing), but on their honeymoon things go terribly wrong and they separate. Then along comes Polly (Jennifer Aniston) who is played as a disorganized free spirit who can never make decisions. So, the setup is the clichéd one of rigid person being drawn out of his shell by carefree companion. Philip Seymour Hoffman provides a couple of laughs as Reuben's wacky friend, particularly the scene with him on the basketball court. Hoffman does seem to at least be trying rather than phoning it in, but Ben Stiller plays Reuben as Ben Stiller--he doesn't have much of a range does he? Stiller did have one good scene doing a frenetic salsa dance. Alec Baldwin seems to be there simply as a draw at the box office, since any one of a hundred actors could have played his part as Reuben's boss.There are several running gags that got old real fast, like Polly's blind pet ferret running into things, Reuben's suffering from irritable bowl syndrome, and Hoffman's falling down on hard floors. The thing that most irritated me was playing Reuben's IBS for laughs--I always have a hard time with physical or mental disabilities being played for laughs. Reuben's bowel problem was cause for a lot of unfunny bathroom humor. There was hardly a single sharp line of dialog. Seeing this movie and thinking back to the old Cary Grant/Kathryn Hepburn comedies (think "Bringing up Baby") makes me realize just how coarsened and dumbed down our culture has become.I had better stop here, further consideration my cause me to move my two star rating to one star.
