Ben Stiller stars as an over-cautious risk assessor who falls in love with Jennifer Aniston's adventure-craving, ferret-loving free spirit.
Along Came Polly has all the charm that you would expect of a rom-com with an A-list cast, and plenty more that you don't see coming. It has moments of genius, moments of hilarity, and moments of grace. It is one of the best romantic comedies to surface in the twenty-first century.
We are introduced to Ben Stiller's character who is incredibly hygiene-conscious. He meets an old high-school friend, played by Jennifer Aniston, and the two begin a relationship that blossoms throughout the course of the film. Ben Stiller is no stranger to the comedy genre, and he brings so much humour to the film in ways you don't see coming. One specific scene at a basketball court particularly springs to mind - but I will let you watch it and enjoy the moment for yourselves. It is simultaneously hilarious and disgusting, and you will love it.
The movie is some of Jennifer Aniston and Ben Stiller's finest work. They both play their roles absolutely perfectly. Jennifer Aniston is playing a slightly different character to what her career had seen leading up to this role, and she is brilliant in it, proving her worth as an actress. Ben Stiller, too, is an utter natural. He makes the comedy seem effortless, and not once are we given a flat joke or something that isn't entertaining.
I think the actor that most tops this film off is Philip Seymour Hoffman, who plays Ben Stiller's best friend. Hoffman's humour is all but indescribable. His character goes above and beyond the typical best friend role in comedies - to be less than the protagonist. Instead, he rises to be Stiller's equal, and some of the movie's best and funniest moments are entirely thanks to Hoffman.
The trio of Aniston, Stiller, and Hoffman makes Along Came Polly simply an irresistible film. It is a feel-good film, a funny film, a romantic film. It has something for almost everyone, and its re-release on the Blu-Ray format makes the experience of watching all the more excellent. Buying and watching this will certainly not be something you'll regret.
