Along Came Polly

(John Hamburg, US 2004, 90 min., DCP)

Insurance risk specialist Reuben Feffer (Ben Stiller) is on his honeymoon when he catches his wife in bed with a French scuba instructor. When he returns to New York, his highly organized life begins falling apart, especially when he is reunited with and falls for high school classmate Polly Prince (Jennifer Aniston). Introducing him to “risky” but worthwhile life experiences, Polly brings Reuben out of his comfort zone. Philip Seymour Hoffman is at his comedic best here as Reuben’s best friend Sandy Lyle, a former child star floundering in community theatre, whose talents come in handy at the perfect moment.
