Along Came Polly (Widescreen Edition)

This movie has one of the most hilarious scenes ever put to film. It’s Ben Stiller and Philip Seymour Hoffman playing basketball. Hoffman thinks he’s hot stuff but couldn’t make a basket if his life depended upon it. The whole time he’s making ridiculous statements like “white chocolate,” “rain dance”, and more. Just as good is when the man Stiller is guarding takes off his shirt and is really hairy. Stiller gets a face fool of his sweaty, hair chest during a play. Every time I see it I laugh out loud. I could watch it again and again. That basically sets the stage for this romantic-comedy which has A LOT of great comedic moments.

Me and my wife love this movie laughed the whole time!

Messing and Baldwin aren't in very many scenes. Both of those two have alienated so many potential fans due to their political brow beating, they can be difficult to watch. Hoffman has a crude but funny scene involving a GI incident called a... well I'll let you experience it. Jennifer and her blind ferret were both cute. Overall an enjoyable movie.

I like it, it is smart and funny, there is a masculine side to the movie with Ben and a feminine with Jennifer. I like the movie, watched it about two times in less than a day, it is just light hearted, and likeable. There are moments that are really funny, peculiar, and silly. The man Alec is in it, which is great, he is still sexy in this movie, and Polly is so likeable to me, she is feminine and stylish. Hoffman really adds character to the movie, overall I think it is a good film, its funny smart, but it also has some form of heart and a lesson to it.

I've seen characters a lot more neurotic and a lot more annoying (the two don't always go hand-in-hand.) Ben Stiller isn't one of them, giving a convincing and enjoyable performance as an insurance risk assessment expert who definitely brings his work home with him, evaluating every tiny decision and weighing every option's risks against its rewards. He separates from his newlywed wife, played by Debra Messing, after catching her cheating on him with a French scuba instructor, played by Hank Azaria, on their honeymoon. A while later, he meets an old friend from school, Polly Prince, played by Jennifer Aniston, and the two begin to date despite her more outgoing and "risky" lifestyle (i.e. salsa dancing.) This is one of those films where you can just kick back and watch what comes pretty darn close to everyday people just trying to get through life. That is a very good kind of film to have around. Ben Stiller definitely wasn't bad, though my favorite was Philip Seymour Hoffman, who is just an actor who will remain legendary for a long time to come. RIP, Mr. Hoffman. Jennifer Aniston was also good, but I think the filmmakers were sometimes trying too hard to make her character as opposite from Ben Stiller as possible...don't force it. When that's not forced, the two work very well together. Overall, a good movie to kick back, relax, and watch...maybe with a companion of your own. Enjoy.

So if you’re looking for a nice safe movie that everyone is likely to enjoy at least some parts of this movie isn’t a bad choice. My wife and I watched it when we had one of our seldom seen alone nights. It certainly fit the bill of a romantic comedy. There was enough humor to keep our interest and it was not sappy at all…well maybe a little at the end. Overall though it was a nice movie.

Like this movie

The chemistry with all of the actors in this film is what makes it a great watch. Definitely some laugh out loud moments. The basketball scenes with Philip Seymour Hoffman are the hardest I've laughed in many years. I watched just that scene over 100 times and it's still funny.

Phillip Seymour Hoffman ruins this film, is he off his head ?, pity it could have been quite good.

Very funny Stiller film and some good one-liners. Some outtakes included on blu-ray and some extras. Worth adding to the collection

Great movie, never get tied of watching it.You are for scuba?I am 'Like a Hippo'...!?

Stiller does it again with a great comedy with a love story, brilliant film with a great cast.

Such a good film
