Along Came Polly (movie review)

This film might as well have been titled Along Came Rachel. I would swear that's the character inhabited by Jennifer Aniston. Although she's supposed to come off as the free-spirited Polly to Ben Stiller's uptight Reuben, Rachel seems to be lurking in there, peaking out at every possible opportunity. This may be less a criticism of Aniston's acting skills and more a criticism of the movie's script, which just falls down so many times it's painful to watch. This movie has its moments, to be sure, and the stars are likeable, but in the end it's a trifle with some very distasteful moments. Grade: C
