| Along Came Polly Description : |
| 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 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 generalized 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.
"Aniston is always easy to watch in a
comedy..."
"[W]hen Stiller acts like an obvious, uptight moron
who has decided he's cool, he's extremely funny."
"Stiller is in his usual hilarious form....Equally
effective is the terrific supporting cast..."
Theatrical Release: January 16, 2004
"[A]miable and level-headed....ALONG CAME POLLY
treats its characters with affection and compassion..."
