 It's a different Jen and Ben, but the new Jen and Ben movie, Along Came Polly is not getting much better reviews than the one Jennifer Lopez made with Ben Affleck. In this one, it's Jennifer Aniston paired with Ben Stiller, and Roger Ebert in the Chicago Sun Times calls it "a movie where a lot of things don't work out, including, alas, the movie itself." Ann Hornaday of the Washington Post calls it "a generic romantic comedy of the one-from-column-A, one-from-column-B variety." Several critics complain about the film's toilet humor. "Along Came Polly goes straight into the sewer," concludes Michael Sragow in the Baltimore Sun (which may be a lot better than going straight to video). Jan Stuart in Newsday puts it this way: "If this is entertainment, the Port Authority should consider selling tickets to the washroom facilities at its New York bus terminal." |
