along came...

a dud of a movie called Along Came Polly

it sounds good on paper doesn't it? a movie starring ben stiller and jennifer anniston (a bennifer!!)

but it's a let down. jen and ben are good on their own, but not together. they are lacking a little thing called CHEMISTRY.

plus the whole movie is just tired and trite really.

it's the whole loser guy gets dumped by wife, meets up with old friend who's the total opposite of him, falls in love. and then wife comes back in picture (uh oh!) and then its a happy ending.

it's been done in the wedding singer, in something about mary. and done much better too.

the desperation of the director/writer can be seen when crap jokes begin early in the movie...

but i'd like to say i did like alec baldwin in this movie. he plays ben's boss. he was actually funny. fat. but funny.

and so was hank azaria, who played the french scuba instructor. funny i mean, not fat. he actually has a pretty hot body! surprised the hell out of me there....

SUMMARY: watchable to put it nicely.
but mostly crap.
