Review of Along Came Polly (2004) by Kevin M. W — 31 May 2015
Along Came Polly is not a comedy that shoots for the stars and is perfectly happy living on the lower rungs of the ladder; but it is an enjoyably, stupid comedy. The story is incredibly played-out and the neurotic character Stiller always plays is growing increasingly more annoying and you know exactly how his character is going to make a fool of himself throughout.
Aniston gets a change of pace from her bombshell persona and plays a ditzy, flake who never thinks too hard about the next step; which was refreshing. Hands down the best character is Philip Seymour Hoffman's, Sandy Lyle who's a washed-up, former actor still thinking he's a big deal because he was in one hit movie! Seriously, his scenes are absolute gold and his physical performance is commendable as well.
It's at best a rental and you watch it at home with your family/loved one and you laugh, and then forget all about it; but it is a competent film.
