Along Came Polly (2004)

Most hilarious socially embarassing jokes ever. Childlike fart jokes abound. Funny as hell though and that comes from me who really doesnt like these kind of jokes usually. But the jokes are excecuted with a finesse that is just excellent! Especially the first half of the movie makes my stumach hurt from laughter. Lots of praise for Philip Seymour Hoffman whose talent is extra ordinarily funny in this movie: "let it rain", " white chocolate". You will know what I meant when you see the hilarious and messy basketball scene. Even writing this review I often burst out in laughing remembering the funny scenes.It is a new comedy classic. One of Ben Stiller's best. One of Jennifer Anniston loveliest ever. One of Philip Seymour Hoffman funniest ever. I just couldnt stop laughing and had to restrain myself in order not to wake the neighbours! I AM A HAPPY HIPPO !

Along Came Polly is a very good romantic comedy. It tells the story of a stable man with a good job falling for a woman who is not so stable in life. It really covered all the bases of a good movie, and kept me enthused all the way through. I am not too much of a Hoffman fan myself, but I think he had some of the funniest parts in the whole movie. Great time!8 Stars

A buttoned up newlywed (Ben Stiller) finds his too organized life falling into chaos when he falls in love with an old classmate (Jennifer Aniston).At its core, this is a romantic comedy. And as such, it has the problem of following that same plot that all romantic comedies follow. So the film cannot be given too much credit as far as originality goes. But it does have a bit more humor, because Stiller is not your typical leading man. He is not overly handsome by any means, and often not even funny.What really sells this film, though, and makes it more good than bad, is the performance of Phillip Seymour Hoffman. Although only a supporting role, he is pretty darn funny, and steals every scene he is in -- the basketball scene, the insurance pitch... he is brilliant.

Sometimes I'm sure that people who review a funny movie such as this one and give it a bad rating must simply be the most serious and boring people on the planet. Sheesh.What I love about this movie is how many of the characters have such memorable hilarious moments of their own - Hank Azaria being my all-time favourite as Claude. I'm not a huge fan of slapstick humour; I much prefer relatable humour where real people get in awkward situations, and Along Came Polly is just that. Cringe-worthy and laugh out loud moments...my only regret is not getting to see this in a packed movie theatre!Fun, funny movie and those of us who like laughing will do lots of it during this flick!
