Product Description
-------------------
Opposites are forced to attract in Along Came Polly, a dose of featherweight fluff that could've been better and could've been worse--surely no pairing of Ben Stiller and Jennifer Aniston can be a complete waste of time, right? Faint praise indeed, but fans of these mainstream funny-folk will enjoy this movie as a lazy-weekend distraction. Ben's a newlywed insurance risk-assessment analyst whose wife (Debra Messing, in a throwaway role) betrays him on their honeymoon. His uptight, play-it-safe lifestyle (which includes acute aversion to germs and irritable bowel syndrome) makes him seemingly incompatible with the spontaneous, free-spirited Polly (Aniston), but writer-director John Hamburg (whose writing credits include the previous Stiller hits Meet the Parents and Zoolander) is determined to give them at least the appearance of romantic potential. No such luck. You will, however, get a few laughs from supporting players Philip Seymour Hoffman, Bryan Brown, and Alec Baldwin. --Jeff Shannon

A movie that you can watch with your girlfriend or wife that the guys will enjoy and can get bonus points for not being a action or horror flick. Ben and Jennifer make a funny couple in this movie. There are so many points that get you laughing that you will enjoy it from start to finish.
A movie you can have in the library that you will enjoy from time to time.;
[Rating: 4 Stars]
I have always been a fan of Ben Stiller since I first saw him, and he always seems to be good for a laugh, no matter how bad the actual movie itself may be.
With that being said, I do want to say one thing, Ben Stiller and Jennifer Aniston have NO chemistry on screen; I mean absolute zero chemistry together! Stiller and Debra Messing however, do have pretty good chemistry together and I think having them as a couple for a bit longer would have been better.
The movie does have its laughs and in my opinion is worth a rent or two. The blind ferret, as many have said does steal the screen when present and also provides nice comic relief. The scuba instructor for me, was thje funniest part, as the accent is absolutely hilarious.
As I mentioned, its good for a rent and some good cheesy laughs, but the lack of chemistry between Stiller and Aniston really dampens the whole movie. I'm not a big fan of Aniston myself and maybe I'm just being a bit biased, but I believe it was her portrayel of her character that made the whole thing a bit forced and fake.;

This movie is very funny and Ben and Jennifer look great being together instead of Ben and Debra and I adore Jennifer's ferret who is blind. I am a huge fan of Jennifer and my BF is a huge fan of Ben so what does that tell you??!! 5 stars for this movie!!;
