I saw Along Came Polly last night. I watched this one without any expectations and still managed to be disappointed. ACP didn't have enough of those oddly embarrassing situations that Stiller would find himself in his movies, which is odd when you think of the overabundance of toilet humour. The silly sidekick managed to be a whole lot funnier than Stiller or Aniston.
Why does Aniston pick roles which could be done by any third rate actress? She plays a waitress in this film. That's right, a waitress! I wonder if casting people immediately think of Aniston when they have a silly comedy picture that has the unimportant female lead as a waitress? She was a waitress on Friends, in Office Space and now this. And she's a bad waitress in all of them. There's probably more but I haven't seen all her movies. If I'd never seen Friends, I'd think this woman had no acting skills whatsoever. Plus, this movie has a plot lifted right out TOW The List where Rachel finds a list comparing her and Julie on Chandlers laptop. They do the EXACT same thing in this movie. Oh, and there's the airport chase scene which again reminds you of Friends. So, Jennifer Aniston is pretty much playing Rachel, only rather badly.
Alec Baldwin: Why? God! He was worse than when he was on in TOW Massapequa as the zesty guy who got excited about everything.
Debra Messing: She does that annoying eye blink thing she does in Will & Grace in the honeymoon beach scene. I can understand why Grace would behave like that in W&G but in this movie?? Yeah, me thinks the TV to movie transition isn't going to go well for her.
(saving the best for last)
Hank Azaria: Another Friends actor in this movie. He's got a bit role but he's simply awesome. His super thick French accent was hilarious especially since he sounded just like my exboss did.
Overall, the movie wasn't too bad but I wouldn't watch it more than once. Good for a rainy afternoon if there's nothing better on.
