The Five-Year Engagement

If you liked Bridesmaids, you'll probably like this.
I didn't. Emily Blunt (see Salmon Fishing... post) is, as always, lovely to watch and usually adds a positive aspect to the whole production. But while her rapport with Jason Segel is good, I felt she was miscast.

There is a great scene of two of the characters speaking like Elmo and Cookie Monster - very funny (thus earning an extra 0.5*). The movie is overly long and I found it dragged.

To be fair, the rest of the audience seemed to enjoy it. Check out the director's and writer's previous works and you'll get a solid view of what you're in for -
I wish I had.
