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.

I just watched this movie and it's not terrific but it's not down right horrible. I thought Ben Stiller and Jennifer Anniston made a fine couple but maybe not the most believable. The good things about this movie are the actors are good for the most part, I thought Philip Seymour Hoffman was very funny as Ben Stiller's best friend, and there are definitely some things about the movie that are funny. What I don't like about this movie are while I thought Alec Baldwin was good in it I thought he was a little out of place but that's only a minor detail. I didn't care for the dancing scenes, Hank Azaria who I thought was good in Night At The Museum 2 was not enjoyable in this and the movie is full of gross out humor. I don't entirely mind that but like Ben Stiller's character I am germaphobic and I have IBS. I had to fast forward the bathroom scene and I'm glad I did. This is one of many movies that came out in 2004 that had Ben Stiller. This one was okay, Starsky and Hutch is one that I really enjoy, I have never seen Envy nor do I plan to, Dodgeball was pretty funny, and Meet The Fockers is my favorite. Anchorman is actually but he only had a cameo in it. I may need to re-watch it because it wasn't that bad it was just weird and had a lot of gross out humor.

Along Came Polly is a pretty cute movie that's very funny, and best watched with a mostly vacant mind. I own this movie and have seen it close to fifty times; I've gotten to the point where I'm noticing flaws and trying to rewrite the plot.For those who have seen it less than ten times, it's a great flick. A man who depends on structure in his life finds his world turned upside down after his new bride leaves him for another man on their honeymoon. Enter Jennifer Aniston, who seems typecast to play perpetually flighty, grungy girlfriends. As advertised by the title, along comes Polly and shows the structured Ben Stiller how to really live.Without a doubt, the funniest parts of the movie are the Philip Seymour Hoffman scenes. He plays Stiller's "wingman"; everything out of his mouth is hilarious. Along Came Polly is a great light romantic comedy to watch with your friends, or even during date night—but only if you're already really, really comfortable with your partner. There's a pretty embarrassing sex scene and a gross toilet scene that might make things awkward.

Sometimes I'm sure that people who review a funny movie such as this one and give it a bad rating must simply be the most serious and boring people on the planet. Sheesh.What I love about this movie is how many of the characters have such memorable hilarious moments of their own - Hank Azaria being my all-time favourite as Claude. I'm not a huge fan of slapstick humour; I much prefer relatable humour where real people get in awkward situations, and Along Came Polly is just that. Cringe-worthy and laugh out loud moments...my only regret is not getting to see this in a packed movie theatre!Fun, funny movie and those of us who like laughing will do lots of it during this flick!
