Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Completely Average in Every Way
Review: Do not waste your time on seeing this movie...You've seen the best parts in the trailers (with the exception of the crude humor of Philip Seymour Hoffman). The plot is completely predictable and the comedy is squeezed into the story in a way that makes it un-natural and uncomfortable to watch...
DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY! Polly is barely worth renting.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Hysterically funny
Review: Either you like Ben Stiller, and his neurotic potty humor schtick, or you don't. If you DO, this movie is not going to disappoint. I actually had really low expectations, and found it to be hysterically funny.

Phillip Seymour Hoffman chews up the scenery, and almost steals the movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: This Movie Is Hilarious
Review: Forget what the people who analyze every movie they watch say and go and see this one.
If you liked Theres Something About Mary and all those other politically incorrect movies then you will absolutely love Along Came Polly. Yes it is obvious that Jennifer Anniston's character and Ben Stiller's would end up together but you still wont predict the unbelievable yet side splittingly funny situations they both get themselves into along the way.

One of Anniston's best and definitely worth watching.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: WATCHABLE
Review: Given the mixed reviews the movie seems to be getting after the initial blitzkreig, I didn't exactly have tall expectations. The humor is indeed gross-out and Stiller desparately needs new gags. But I actually had a few good laughs and a pleasant time overall. It's a VERY predictable sort of a movie, after a fabulous role in The Good Girl, I wonder why J. Aniston went for this one. Don't expect Something About Mary and you should do alright with this pastime romantic candy.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Starts off with promise... ...promise is broken early on.
Review: Hank Azaria and Philip Seymour Hoffman add humor in the beginning, however they are not the films focus. Ben Stiller provides a humorless part, I doubt he read the script because I don't know why he would choose to take a role where the supporting cast provides the humor and he is just the "feel sorry for" guy who gets cheated on during day one of his honeymoon. Debra Messing is much too likeable to play this part. We're suppose to hate her for what she's done to her new husband, but I just didn't. Now for Jennifer Aniston. She doesn't do to bad for playing a character that's about 25% developed. Need I say more? As for the romance in this romantic comedy.. Where was it? Did they even fall in love? Who knows? In the end Polly seemed unsure of what she wanted. I felt that the film was elevated above one star HOWEVER, because of Azaria and Hoffman. They played their roles superbly, too bad no one else on board was up to their par.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Funniest Movie
Review: I just wanted to share that when Tracy and I saw this movie we both thought it was just hillarious. We both laughed til tears were in our eyes. The entire audiance in the theatre would erupt in laughter in many scenes. Just a super great funny movie. Very highly recomended to add to your movie collection.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Polly want a peanut
Review: I liked it , a few good laughs in this one. Ben Stiller works well with Phillip Seymour Hoffaman and Jennifer Aniston in this romantic comedy , that show's you there may be a whole lot more in life than what you have , so why settle for anything less , go for what makes you happy. So get ready to laugh and Enjoy!!!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not too bad
Review: I thought this movie had some funny parts, but I'm getting sick and tired of seeing Ben Stiller in this role of the loser guy who tries to get a chick but screws up horribly. It's getting a bit old.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Very funny but goes flat half way through
Review: I was pleasantly surprised at how enjoyable ALONG CAME POLLY was. Granted, it relied on toilet humour in many scenes, but you can expect that with this type of lightweight comedy. The film started to fall flat half way through, and became a tad boring. The remainder of the film was totally predicatable. However, you could do alot worse for a DVD to watch on a Friday night.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Don't believe the hype!!
Review: I was so disappointed in this movie. I figured with Jennifer Aniston and Ben Stiller it could not be anything but great. The only actor with a humorous presence was Ben's geeky friend - a childhood actor still trying to cash in on the one good movie he starred in (played by Phillip Seymour Hoffman). The "relationship" between "Ben and Jen" was so far fetched you didn't even want their characters to end up together. Ben played his usual role of an anal geek (which I usually laugh at). I kept waiting for the "meat" of the story line to kick it, but it never did. I still love this Ben and Jen but this movie was a complete flop. Save your money - wait for this one to be released on DVD!!
