Screenwriter
John Hamburg directs his second film (since his 1998 debut
Safe Men) with the romantic comedy
Along Came Polly.
Ben Stiller plays
Reuben Feffer, a professional risk assessor who never takes chances in any aspect of his life. When his new bride
Lisa (
Debra Messing) leaves him for a European scuba instructor named
Claude (
Hank Azaria), he finally decides to a risk of his own. At a party, he meets free-spirited
Polly Prince (
Jennifer Aniston), whom he remembers from his seventh-grade Model U.N. Unlike the control-freak
Reuben, she's spent her life living on the edge. They reluctantly begin a romance and
Polly introduces him to a new world of spicy food and suggestive dances.
Along Came Polly also stars
Philip Seymour Hoffman as
Reuben's washed-up best friend
Sandy Lyle and
Alec Baldwin as the obnoxious insurance company boss
Stan Indursky. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide
