Our next movie of the weekend was "Along Came Polly" starring Ben Stiller as Reuben & Jennifer Aniston as Polly. This is a comedy romance as opposed to a romantic comedy. It is a twist on the classic "opposites attract" scenario with Reuben as a straight-laced risk assessor and Polly as a flighty, spontaneous waitress.
Reuben and Polly re-connect at an art gallery opening (they went to middle school together) after Reuben's wife, Lisa (Debra Messing) cheats on him on the first day of their honeymoon with Claude (Hank Azaria - WOW!!) the scuba instructor and comedy ensues. Ultimately, Reuben has to choose between Polly and Lisa. Philip Seymour Hoffman as Reuben's former child-star best friend Sandy, adds an additional layer of ego and grossness.
Run Time: 91 minutes
Schellhardt Stars: 4
