Didn't work for me

Even though I usually like Emily Blunt and I usually like Jason Segel, I really didn't like The Five-Year Engagement. It felt like a funny "what if" premise Segel and Nicholas Stoller rattled off in the screenwriters' room that failed to get fleshed out properly. "What if a couple gets engaged and then the wedding keeps getting pushed off?" I loved their collaboration of The Muppets (and have watched my well worn DVD copy countless times), and the remake of Gulliver's Travels was very charming, but I just couldn't get behind this movie.

A combination of extremely silly gags, ad libs that go on too long, slapstick, and "college humor" (jokes that are funny to one's group of friends during a party but not as much the next morning) result in a rather long running time that beat the plot to death. How long can you stretch a delayed wedding, especially when the title gives away any suspense as to how long it will be delayed?

To each his own, so if you liked Forgetting Sarah Marshall (including the ridiculous vampire puppets) you'll probably like this one. I prefer to see Emily in more serious roles, like Into the Woods and Looper. But I'll still be willing to try anything she's in with an open mind.

I WANT TO BE ALONE... WITH YOU HERE

This is an interesting hit and miss romantic comedy aka "chick flick." Tom (Jason Segel) is a chef in San Francisco who is engaged to Violet (Emily Blunt) a Brit. They meet at a costume New Year Eves party and don't worry if you miss it, they replay it (definite chick flick giveaway).

In a role reversal, he gives up his career so she can do her doctorate studies at the University of Michigan for a couple of years. They put off getting married while Michigan turns Tom into Grizzly Adams. Meanwhile Susan (Alison Brie) who is Violet's sister gets married to the somewhat crude Alex (Chris Pratt) a friend and co-worker of Tom.

The humor moves from clever to awkward to bad. There is a doughnut metaphor that starts in the middle of the film, that has moments of cleverness. The extreme overreaction of the main characters due to minor difficulties is perhaps the downfall of the film. While the film needed to create conflict, it did so in an inane manner that was neither funny nor realistic. Emily Blunt gives us a good performance.

Parental Guide: F-bomb, sex, male rear nudity (Jason Segel...another chick flick giveaway)

some hilarious moments

A year into their relationship, Tom Solomon (Jason Segel) proposes to Violet Barnes (Emily Blunt). She accepts but life choices lead to complications and delays in the wedding date.

Nicholas Stoller and Jason Segel team up once again to try and repeat Forgetting Sarah Marshall's success. There are some good laughs. Taken together, it adds up to a pretty funny movie. However the storyline can get quite depressing and challenging as their relationship faces serious obstacles. Those depressed moments can drag the movie down. That makes for a slightly uneven movie. With a two hours running time, maybe a four year engagement would be snappier.
