Review: I’m confused. Is the director of "Along Came Polly" four years old – or does he think we are? Because that’s the only age group I know of (outside of Hollywood) which thinks potty humor is downright hilarious.
Reuben Feffer (Ben Stiller) is a top risk analyst for an insurance firm. Reuben lives his life by the numbers, and he’s found the perfect mate – real estate agent Lisa Kramer (Debra Messing). The only problem is, when Lisa hooks up with a naked French scuba instructor (Hank Azaria, with an overdone accent) on their honeymoon, Ben’s whole world falls apart.
Back home, he meets Polly Prince (Jennifer Aniston) and is convinced she’s the new “perfect” mate. Polly is sloppy, spontaneous and outgoing – Ben’s complete opposite. She likes spicy food; he has Irritable Bowel Syndrome (a significant detail). She likes the Salsa; he’s afraid to cross the street. But that doesn’t stop Ben and Polly from trying to make it work. Because they’re like, destined, you know, to be together. Whatever!
