I do not understand why there are so many bad reviews. The film is very good.I was intrigued by Emily Blunt's presence in the film so I downloaded it and was very surprised because it turned out to be so much better than I expected. There is one noteable thing about it - almost all the situations that are supposed to make you laugh are at least 1/3 unfunny as they are. This is a very believable quality about the film - it makes you look at life from a distance and understand that all those stupid actions and decisions that people make are just funny as hell. And with a little love you can even come to a happy-end (I don't think it's a spoiler, this is obviously not Macbeth, you knew a happy end was there). But this is what makes this film an actual challenge for some people. It is NOT PLEASANT. It does not put you into a dreamy or giggly state. It is actually quite raw, sarcastic and real. I do believe that we live in times when real things are considered unnerving and even evil. Some people would very much rather have safe spaces built in every corner of the city and not deal with reality. Well, in true love there are no safe spaces. True love makes you stay with a person through all the ugly things and through the funny things and through the good things, obviously.Acting is on spot. Everyone know that Emily Blunt is one of the most talented actresses of the generation, Jason Segel is handsome and compelling, support cast entertain you in every possible way. The dialogues are great. Everything sounds very natural.7 our of 10 - because 10 is Fellini and Visconti. One of the best modern chick flicks I've ever seen.

The Five-Year EngagementThere are few scattered but good ideas and they are depicted with all the conviction but these kind of movies work on actors and it is quite clear that weren't able to pull it off.

I switched it off after 10 minutes as I was already bored. The minute 10 shows the engagement party moment: the dumb British lady can't speak because she keeps on crying, the groom's parents criticise their son, the bride's dad shows up with a young Asian while the mother is sitting on her own with a window look... To me, this scene defined the rest of the movie: another attempt to make the audience laugh with obsolete 90's jokes....wow, enough already. Jason Segel seems to constantly playing the role of a hopeless romantic dude who tries to looks great but constantly gets interrupted by people when it comes to keeping his lady: Russell Brand in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Lily's exes and mood swings in How I met Your Mother...the list goes on. Mind you, I'm aware that he is a very gifted artist and screenplay writer, but I think these talents can be used off camera. On behalf of my generation (born in the 80's)please innovate your humour and plot in your next movie!!

In Los Angeles, the chef Tom Solomon (Jason Segel) meets the psychologist Violet Barnes (Emily Blunt) in a New Year's Eve party and they immediately fall in love with each other. One year later, Tom proposes Violet to get married and they schedule their wedding date. However, the application of Violet to the University of Michigan to a master's degree is accepted and Tom declines to the offer of his boss Chef Sally (Lauren Weedman) to be the chef of a famous restaurant that belongs to her. His best friend and assistant Alex Eilhauer (Chris Pratt), who is married with Violet's sister Suzie Barnes-Eilhauer (Alison Brie), accepts the position. They postpone the wedding and Tom and Violet move to Berkley for two years. While Violet befriends her Professor Winton Childs (Rhys Ifans) and colleagues, Tom has difficulties to find a job and work is a restaurants specialized in sandwiches. Two years later, when Tom is ready to return to Los Angeles, Violet is invited to be assistant professor in Michigan. What will happen to the couple?"The Five-Year Engagement" is a delightful romantic comedy with the lovely Emily Blunt in the lead role. The plot combines romance, drama, comedy and black humor in right doses and the only boring moment is when Chris Pratt sings – probably he is a better chef than singer. Jason Segel shows great chemistry with Emily Blunt and is easy to understand the relationship problems due to professional realization. The beauty of Dakota Johnson is amazing but her shallow relationship of her character with Tom is not well explored. One of the best moments is when Tom has lunch with his parents. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "Cinco Anos de Noivado" ("Five-Year Engagement")
