Review of The Five-Year Engagement (2012) by Jota B — 14 Feb 2013

This would have been good if it wasn't two hours long. It should have been a nice and easy 90 minute romantic comedy, but for some reason someone felt like this deserved as much screentime as fucking argo.

I was really enjoying this movie until it felt like the Lord of the Ring of comedies. "Oh we are in love lets get marred" "Ah, I got a real good job lets wait" "Ah. I hate living here, lets break up" "Ah.

Lets not break up and get married" "Ah lets break up, you aren't happy with me" "ah! I miss you again, lets get back together" "lets get married" "lets not" "let's do it" the end.

Jesus fucking christ. If it wasn't for Chris Pratt stealing every scene he was in, this movie would of been garbage. In all honesty, watch this for Chris Pratt stealing every scene he is in. Other than that.

Move on. meh concept meh execution.
