Reuben (Ben Stiller) is a risk assessor for an insurance company, and hates taking risks of any kind. But when his new bride runs off with the diving instructor on their honeymoon, he begins to wonder if his risk assessment is so accurate after all. On his return from his disastrous honeymoon, he runs into the beautiful, free-spirited Polly (Jennifer Aniston), an old acquaintance from junior high, at a party. But is he ready to put his feelings on the line, let himself go and have some fun with her. (Universal Pictures UK)

An incredibly predictable comedy, where you know from the beginning how each relationship will develop. That wouldn't be such a problem, because the scheme is almost expected, but to have only two or three funny moments is pretty small for a comedy with Stiller. On the other hand, Jennifer Aniston is quite interesting here.

One of the few comedies with Ben Stiller that I really enjoy if I watch it once in a while. You forget about the predictable plot and a few toilet jokes when you get a fit of laughter from the unforgettable performance of Philip Seymour Hoffman. Jennifer Aniston with her adorably disoriented ferret and several cameo roles by big-name actors are also a delight. (70%)
