Opposites are forced to attract in Along Came Polly, a dose of featherweight fluff that could've been better and could've been worse--surely no pairing of Ben Stiller and Jennifer Aniston can be a complete waste of time, right? Faint praise indeed, but fans of these mainstream funny-folk will enjoy this movie as a lazy-weekend distraction. Ben's a newlywed insurance risk-assessment analyst whose wife (Debra Messing, in a throwaway role) betrays him on their honeymoon. His uptight, play-it-safe lifestyle (which includes acute aversion to germs and irritable bowel syndrome) makes him seemingly incompatible with the spontaneous, free-spirited Polly (Aniston), but writer-director John Hamburg (whose writing credits include the previous Stiller hits Meet the Parents and Zoolander) is determined to give them at least the appearance of romantic potential. No such luck. You will, however, get a few laughs from supporting players Philip Seymour Hoffman, Bryan Brown, and Alec Baldwin. --Jeff Shannon

A cute safe movie.......2007-07-10
A movie that you can watch with your girlfriend or wife that the guys will enjoy and can get bonus points for not being a action or horror flick. Ben and Jennifer make a funny couple in this movie. There are so many points that get you laughing that you will enjoy it from start to finish.
A movie you can have in the library that you will enjoy from time to time.
Not a bad flick; good for a laugh........2007-06-21
I have always been a fan of Ben Stiller since I first saw him, and he always seems to be good for a laugh, no matter how bad the actual movie itself may be.
With that being said, I do want to say one thing, Ben Stiller and Jennifer Aniston have NO chemistry on screen; I mean absolute zero chemistry together! Stiller and Debra Messing however, do have pretty good chemistry together and I think having them as a couple for a bit longer would have been better.
The movie does have its laughs and in my opinion is worth a rent or two. The blind ferret, as many have said does steal the screen when present and also provides nice comic relief. The scuba instructor for me, was thje funniest part, as the accent is absolutely hilarious.
As I mentioned, its good for a rent and some good cheesy laughs, but the lack of chemistry between Stiller and Aniston really dampens the whole movie. I'm not a big fan of Aniston myself and maybe I'm just being a bit biased, but I believe it was her portrayel of her character that made the whole thing a bit forced and fake.
Ben and Jennifer are a cute couple.......2007-03-18
This movie is very funny and Ben and Jennifer look great being together instead of Ben and Debra and I adore Jennifer's ferret who is blind. I am a huge fan of Jennifer and my BF is a huge fan of Ben so what does that tell you??!! 5 stars for this movie!!
Ben Stiller Fans Should Give it A Try.......2007-03-05
I love this movie and it is more than I hoped it would be. The biggest problem I had with the movie is that Philip Seymour Hoffman felt really out of place in this movie and did a really bad Jack Black imitation. The entire time, he acts just like Jack Black, it is almost if Jack turned down the role that was written for him. If you are a fan of Ben Stiller, you need to see this movie because I couldn't stop laughing and I have a feeling that it will be the same for you. I've seen this movie many times and it is still as funny as the first time I watched it. Overall, maybe not as good as some of his other films, but still really funny.
expected more from this film.......2007-01-28
After watching a few trailers I felt I had to see it for myself as it looked so witty, quaint, charming and enjoyable. I was wrong. Although humorous in parts it only just cracked a smile, which is a shame because it could have been better.
I love Jennifer Aniston and Ben Stiller and I can't explain why this combination didn't work, but it really didn't. Perhaps it was the chemistry between them? Or maybe it was the weak storyline and bad jokes? It is worth a rental, but please don't waste money on buying this DVD.

Product Description
A group of twenty-something friends, most of whom live in the same apartment complex, search for love and success in grunge-era Seattle.
Plot Synopsis: Romantic comedy about six of the city's young people, most of whom live in the same apartement building and whose lives revolve around Seattle's ever-expanding music scene. The inter-related stories about each character's progress through the singles scene are intriguing and often very funny, and the soundtrack is a grunge fanatic's dream, with the likes of Soundgarden, Pearl Jam and Mudhoney.
A happy young couple, Sarah and Tom (Brittany Murphy and Ashton Kutcher) marry against the wishes of Sarah's friends and family and go to Europe for their Honeymoon. Unfortunately for them, Sarah's parents send Sarah's ex-boyfriend Peter Prentis (played by Christian Kane) to break up the happy marriage.
