A dumb-down for the ages. It had me on the edge of my seat thinking OK, now am I going to like this part. Almost clicked so many times, each one more exasperating than the last. One point for Bryan Brown as the only carbon-based life form in play, one point for Missy Pyle's bit part - she is such a natural for goofball roles, and I gotta give extra credit for the flippers. All in all, almost not a bad movie.… Expand

I don't have high standards for romantic comedies, but the plot and humor were pretty thin. They had some funny moments, the scuba and bathroom scenes and the other ones in the trailer, but they are few and far between. There is no chemistry and all the relationship development between Stiller and Aniston was pretty lame.

This only gets a 1 because of Hank Azaria's funny French accent. Otherwise, it sucked.

I loved this movie. Ben Stillers friend is absolutely hilarious and steals the show. I can see why people might have a problem with the ending if they don't understand how the insurance industry works. I really liked this movie, even though I thought I would hate it.

My expectations going in were "I hope all the funny parts were not shown in the trailers." After watching it, sadly 99% of them were and I can't even remember which funny parts were not in the trailer. Could have been much better, but basically just fell flat with the story and the comedy. Doesn't come close to "Something About Mary" and "Meet the Parents". Not worth watching at the movies, at best it's a rental.… Expand

Ugly and dumb. The less said the better.

This flick is too dumb for even Polly to want a cracker.

More Stiller-does-templated "comedy" nonsense. What's funny is that this movie screams risk aversion yet moralizes that it's bad to live your life not taking any chances. The only chance this movie takes is ruining Aniston's movie career before it really takes off. Oh and to the editor - "I could have died laughing" was a sarcastic thing we used to say in grade school when something was not funny at all. Said in a really condescending tone of voice.

Omg, this is mediocre.

Did they have to name this movie after me? Now I'm embarassed each time my name is called. This is a disaster from the start to the finish. If you saw the trailer then you already saw the movie. Absolute garbage.

Started out decent, it had something going for it at first, somewhat interesting characters, some genuine laughs... but then it degenerated into nothingness fairly quickly, its as if the people behind the movie didnt know what to do next and just threw in a bunch of complications to try to create some kind of a conflict in the movie and it just ended up feeling cliche. The ending was insulting to anyone with intelligence too, rubbing peanuts on the ground...please. It had a bit too much poo-poo humor too. The scene someone else mentioned where Reuben's friend takes his place in a meeting isnt funny or inspiring at all, he goes unbelievably from asinine to convincing? I don't think so, not even in a movie is that believable and it was just corny. And when Rueben's father does finally speak it's supposed to be some revolutionary, insightful moment but it just came off as hokey and forced. Now that I think about it this movie was quite poor I was going to give it a 5 or a 4 but that is too much..… Expand

Half-way through, a couple got up and left the theater. It took all my willpower not to join them. I was waiting for the "funny" to kick in, but somehow it never did. Bizarrely, the critics liked this more than "The Butterfly Effect," which was noticeably superior!

Along Came Polly is funnier than I thought.

This was the funniest movie dont listen to those stupid people they dont know a good movie when they see it.

Ben Stiller deserves better than this motley mess. Funny? I could have died laughing.

Ben Stiller is funny as usual, and Philip Seymour Hoffman and Alec Baldwin are hysterical in supporting roles. However Jennifer Aniston and Stiller have zero chemistry and that is being generous. Since this is a romantic comedy you need both elements. So, while there are some genuinely funny moments there is absolutely no romance. Also some of the scenes that were supposed to be funny are absolute disasters. the scene where Hoffman fills in for Stiller at work is not even close to funny and is painful to watch. So unless you really like Ben Stiller or want to enjoy Baldwin for the 10 minutes he is in this movie, wait for the video.… Expand

This was an extreme disappointment. It was rarely funny and always predictable. Ben Stiller and Jennifer Anniston actually did a fairly decent job, but it wasn't enough to rescue the horrible story and even worse direction. This film had no continuity whatsoever and lacked any originality. I'll give it a 5 just because it made me laugh or smile about 5 times the entire movie.

Funny thing i start at 100 when i grade movies. this movie slipped down pretty far from 100. by the time the movie was over my score was 40. and i just realize average critic grade is 40. this movie has some fun. but it then has other stuff that just doesn't fit. enjoyable if you let it. i did. but a 40 is as much as i can give it. rob.

Though this movie had a few suprise twists, I still thought this Polly was one hilarious movie! When he's good, Mr. Stiller is very good indeed, and Along Came Polly stands with the best work he's done. It's fast-moving, unpredictable, and as tautly, tightly wound as comedies get. Stiller absolutely astounds as a risk management man with a fear of danger! He and Jennifer Aniston make such a sweet couple, they should get married! I know that ACP is the perfect summer movie for all ages! … Expand

ALONG CAME POLLY is a sometimes-funny, average Ben Stiller film. Keep in mind he was also working on MEET THE FOCKERS and DODGEBALL in 2004, so you can't expect much.

Without its major silliness it would've had heart and some good performances. But sadly it is too raunchy to be taken seriously at all. I give this movie 16%. Yeah don't see this.

Give this one some credit. It's a funny, light-hearted rom-com that manages not make us angry about its cliches. We just sit in and let it fly by, and we're content when it ends. Why? Because we weren't expecting much to begin with.
