Writer-director John Hamburg, (writer of ZOOLANDER and MEET THE PARENTS), teams once again with Ben Stiller to make an offbeat character study that is guaranteed to induce helpless...
more...laughter. Reuben, an overanxious insurance risk analyst (Stiller), weighs his every action by assessing pros and cons. He finds himself dumped on his honeymoon by fickle wife Lisa (Debra Messing) who runs off with Jacques, a nudist scuba instructor (Hank Azaria). A few days later, Reuben is back in New York at a pretentious gallery opening, wondering why he's bothering to test the waters so soon, when along comes Polly Price (Jennifer Aniston), a quirky, worldly, adventurous soul, whose only flaw appears to be a generalised lack of commitment. The formerly germ-obsessed, controlling Reuben is transformed by Polly's free spirit, her predilection for spicy food, and her pet ferret. Her love of salsa dancing makes him jealous and painfully uncomfortable. But his heart is aflame.
Hamburg, who began his directorial career with SAFE MEN, has proven himself a reliable producer of charming realism and a brand of comedy comparable to that of the Farrelly brothers. Editor William Kerr has an extraordinary sense of comic timing, which gives ALONG CAME POLLY's funny factor a boost. Stiller's salsa solo is striking--the actor is actually an amazing dancer. Last but not least, Philip Seymour Hoffman (PUNCH DRUNK LOVE, FLAWLESS) nearly steals the show as Reuben's best friend Sandy Lyle who plays both Jesus and Judas in a community production of GODSPELL.

Along Came Polly was one of the funniest movies that I have watched in a while. This is a movie that you can either watch by yourself or with friends, boyfriends, etc. Ben Stiller is a risk free insurance sellsman that has his life planned with no surprises. This was true until his wife ditched him on the first day of his honeymoon. After this surprising event takes place it throws his world upside down. His best friend who is a deadbeat actor makes him go to a party where he runs into a girl from junior high, which is Polly (Jennifer Aniston). Polly is the opposite of him. She moves around a lot, takes as many risks as possible, and does not even consider the chance of marriage. After thinking about Polly, he asks her out on a date. The go out on the first date where he has many bowl problems. Anyway, the entire movie has some drama that just keeps you laughing. I can not tell you the rest or it would be no reason to rent it. I completey recommend getting this movie the next time you go to rent a movie. Hilarious!
