Five years. It's a long time to date someone, nevermind waiting to marry them. The Five-Year Engagement, the latest collaboration between Jason Segel and writer/director Nicholas Stoller, chronicles the dysfunctional (but hilarious) trip to the altar for Tom (Segel) and Violet (Emily Blunt).
Welcome to wedding Hell Episode 2 is cute in every way... except for one.
Chillopedia | Brides and bridesmaids are, or should be, close friends. There is so much preparation, organisation and arrangment to do for a wedding that lots of trust is placed on both sides. It’s good for the friendship of all concerned to take time out to enjoy each other’s company and what could be more in tune with the topic on everyone’s mind than watching a wedding-based comedy?
There are no 'best' wedding movies to watch. How could that even possibly exist? Give me drama, suspense, and action any day of the week...then if you want to sneak in a wedding at the end for a happy ending...okay but make it brief.
Jeremy of We Got This Covered wrote, "Nicholas Stoller and frequent co-worker Jason Segel re-team for an R-rated Judd Apatow-produced wedding comedy that co-stars Emily Blunt and Chris Pratt. The Five-Year Engagement features similar Stoller/Segel humor and eventual drama, but falls flat somewhere around the halfway point, making it their weakest team effort yet. The outstanding chemistry between Segel and Blunt makes the film charming and lovable, but it loses its footing and never manages to regain that level of filmmaking we’ve come to expect from the pair."
