The Five-Year Engagement (2012)


Genre: Romantic Comedy
Directed by: Nicholas Stoller
Cast: Jason Segel, Emily Blunt, Chris Platt
Time: 124 minutes



Tom Solomon, a sous-chef in a fancy restaurant, and Violet Barnes, a psychology PhD graduate, met at a Halloween party and became a couple. After their engagement, they try to find the perfect time to get married, but life keeps getting in the way. When Violet is offered their dream job, that would see them move from San Francisco to Michigan, the couple’s durability really gets tested.

I really did not like this movie. I found the characters annoying and unlikeable. The film felt like an unhappy 5-year engagement, so overly long. The attempts at comedy were mostly unfunny and the rest of the script did not have much to offer either.
