Along Came Polly movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press: Though everything in Polly happens exactly as expected, none of it is remotely believable. Read more
Connie Ogle, Miami Herald: Something we've all seen before, far too many times, not only in its premise but also in its lame parade of scatological jokes and its sad, tired pratfalls. Read more
Mark Caro, Chicago Tribune: Some movies run out of gas. This one could use an alternate fuel source. Read more
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times: A waste of a talented cast. Read more
David Edelstein, Slate: One of those films that celebrate spontaneity and risk-taking yet are so formulaic and un-risky that they strangle their own message. Read more
Melinda Ennis, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Runs out of steam about the time the Stiller-Aniston romance is supposed to be creating some. Read more
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe: There is no central drama, no surprise, no tension. Read more
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times: A hit-and-miss affair with more flat moments than comic ones. Read more
Bruce Westbrook, Houston Chronicle: Though Polly packs ample comic punch, it also demonstrates that life isn't about the safe past or the uncertain future but the journeys we make each day. Read more
Michael Booth, Denver Post: It's a workmanlike romantic comedy that by the end has quietly added up to a little more than you expected. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: I chuckled a few times at Along Came Polly, if only because Ben Stiller is willing to stoop as low as he can to turn himself into a clown prince of humiliation: the man who would be dork. Read more
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail: Depends on the mistaken belief that Jennifer Aniston's appeal is so universally recognizable it's unnecessary to write a fully-rounded character for her. Read more
Jane Sumner, Dallas Morning News: Superlative wasted cast and chamber pot-embarrassing humor. Read more
Chuck Wilson, L.A. Weekly: He's a stuffed shirt and she a free spirit, yet their romantic destiny is predetermined, if only because writer-director John Hamburg's embarrassingly schematic screenplay insists upon it, chemistry be damned. Read more
Jan Stuart, Newsday: If this is entertainment, the Port Authority should consider selling tickets to the washroom facilities at its New York bus terminal, where the traffic is bustling and frequently very colorful. Read more
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger: You can sense the lack of imagination. Read more
Jami Bernard, New York Daily News: Tame and predictable, with the gastric-distress sound-effects machine working overtime. Read more
Rex Reed, New York Observer: Like the rest of today's alleged comedies that are never funny, this one pretends to be hip, but lacks every semblance of intelligence and depends on the basest common instincts in the kindergarten I.Q. for laughs. Read more
Stephen Holden, New York Times: This flat romantic comedy fails to provide any reason why a spunky girl-next-door like Jennifer Aniston's character would give Ben Stiller's uptight nerd the time of day. Read more
Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel: Practically everyone here is a collection of tics, gimmicks and mannerisms. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: Every truly successful raunchy romantic comedy has at its heart a couple worth rooting for. This one doesn't. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: There isn't a lot in the movie that is funny. Read more
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle: Within the context of what is essentially a formula picture, Hamburg comes up with lively and anarchic comic situations, and he comes up with them consistently. Read more
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune: It isn't fresh. It isn't special. It isn't anything. Read more
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star: A lighthearted, lead-footed romantic comedy of the post-Farrelly sentimental yuckfest school. Read more
Geoff Andrew, Time Out: Without the rom-com requisites of charm, chemistry, comedy and character, this doesn't even meet low expectations. Read more
Mike Clark, USA Today: Trouble is, it isn't just Polly who comes along: Lots of extraneous matter does, too. Read more
Robert Koehler, Variety: Though obstacles are de rigeur in this kind of comic formula, the ones applied in Along Came Polly have the effect of reminding viewers of how unrealistic the pairing of Reuben and Polly is. Read more
Dennis Lim, Village Voice: Largely innocuous and forgettable. Read more
Ann Hornaday, Washington Post: Firmly ensconced among the forgettables in Stiller's career. Read more
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post: I ... laughed myself sick. Read more
