Plot summary

Reuben Feffer is a guy who's spent his entire life playing it safe. Polly Prince is irresistible as a free-spirit who lives for the thrill of the moment. When these two comically mismatched souls collide, Reuben's world is turned upside down, as he makes an uproarious attempt to change his life from middle-of-the-road to totally-out-there.

Overall funny and tries to teach a lesson.

I watched this movie first in the theater back in 2004 and I remember I had a good time. On a second time view, I can say I had a better time.

The movie is about a marriage that fails miserably when the recently weds go on their honeymoon. Everything seems just fine until the wife decides to cheat on the husband and that's when things really start to get difficult.

The husband, Ben Stiller, has an encounter with an ex-high school friend, the pretty Polly (Aniston) and since then they start dating and trying to make it work although they're very different on every aspect. Stiller is an obsessive compulsive man that can't do wrong on his job, life, and everything else. Polly is a woman that takes life on the light side and doesn't cares about much... anything.

They're opposite poles but that makes things work for them. The problem is when Stiller's ex-wife returns looking for him.

Then you have a comedic-problematic situation that would be enough to keep you entertained.

There are many funny situations that kind of reminded of the popular sitcom "Friends": For example, Stiller decides to write on a computer all about Polly. Her attributes, flaws, and expectations. The same happened on a "Friends" episode where Ross does the same to Rachel (Aniston). And the ending is similar to the episode...

So this may sound like a "Friends" spin-off but the movie has unique humor and situations that separate it from any other comedies.

Give it a try and you'll be entertained. The best scenes in the movie in my opinion are the "salsa" dance sequences, the final argument with the insurance company, and the whole situation with Aniston's pet.

Jennifer Aniston is simply charming, sexy, and funny. Not "funny" like in her "Friends" character. This time she chose the right character and she demonstrates she's a talented actress on the comedy field. Not to mention she looks really, really hot.

Ben Stiller is funny as always but he's been typecast. Philip Seymour Hoffman is a great actor and in this movie he can only demonstrate a few comedic skills but that's enough to show he's great.

Hank Azaria is an unique talent and he is just hilarious. The same for Alec Baldwin who is an unconventional comedian but every time he demonstrates he's a quality actor. Debra Messing just looks sexy and does nothing much.

Same Old Same Old

How many times can you watch a Stiller / Aniston comedy with the same weak plot over and over again until you finally lost feeling in your legs and start to wonder how movies like this get made? Jennifer Aniston had filmed this movie while also filming Bruce Almighty and her television show Friends. Ben Stiller's character is something between his role in Meet the Parents and Something About Mary. So when it comes to a labor of love, both actors were in this film to make a nice paycheck. At moments the movie is funny because you are forced to laugh. At other times, an entire scene is being held up with a single joke. Is it just me or is Jennifer Aniston always the same character she plays? At first, I thought Aniston was playing the same role that she was i Bruce Almighty. Besides for her role in The Good Girl, Aniston has successfully acted in a number of movies as the same person. As for Stiller, when he is not being a character actor, he too is the same person in all his films.

Love (and Jennifer Aniston) Deserve Risk

While in his honeymoon in a paradisaical beach, the conservative risk analyst of an insurance company Reuben Feffer (Ben Stiller) finds his wife Lisa Kramer (Debra Messing) having intercourse with her scuba instructor Claude (Hank Azaria) in his boat. The cuckold Reuben immediately returns to New York and his friend Sandy Lyle (Philip Seymour Hoffman) invites him to go to a party. There he meets his former high school friend Polly Prince (Jennifer Aniston), who is a very independent woman that lives in the edge with her blind ferret in a cozy but simple apartment. Although having very different behaviors, they date and fell a great attraction for each other. When Lisa returns, Reuben has to decide if he wants to live his life in the suburb with his unfaithful wife, or have a risky relationship with Polly.

"Along Came Polly" is a good entertainment, where the beauty of Jennifer Aniston shines. The story is funny, and I was almost hypnotized with the cute Jennifer Aniston, who is also a great comedian. I also can understand the reaction of Reuben with Polly, since she is "too much sand for the truck of Ben Stiller". There is an interesting discussion in the Message Boards about the hypothesis of Jack Black performing the role of Sandy. I like Philip Seymour Hoffman very much, he has a good performance in this film, but indeed the character of Sandy Lyle seems to be tailored for Jack Black. Good perception of this user. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): "Quero Ficar Com Polly" ("I Want to Stay With Polly")

Obs.: On 28 December 2008, I watched this funny comedy again.
