  Along Came Polly Movie Review at Hollywood Video
Despite the stars' winning chemistry, and showy supporting turns by Philip Seymour Hoffman and Alec Baldwin, Along Came Polly is a middling effort that should have been much better given the caliber of the cast, which also includes Debra Messing and Hank Azaria.
And the actor, who's made a niche for himself as the hapless nice guy with minor anger issues and a soft heart, can draw a viewer in so well, we often dislike the woman he's falling for (as in the case with Meet the Parents, where we want him to dump that insensitive, vacuous blonde).
Along Came Polly has its bright moments, chiefly through its cast, and it's not a bad way to spend a lazy afternoon.

 TheMovieBoy Review - Along Came Polly (2004)
Polly is a decidedly flighty eternal free spirit, and Reuben lives his life through schedules and order, but her exact opposite disposition on life is the very thing that immediately draws himself to her.
On their own, Reuben and Polly are original enough character creations, with Reuben a by-the-book straight arrow who assessing every possible risk in life through a percentage and Polly a joyfully disorganized gypsy who never stays in one place long enough to get bored.
Aniston's Polly may be a part of the film's title, but she never breaks free of one dimension and shows no satisfying growth by the end, aside from what the plot has demanded she do.

 "Along Came Polly" / a review and/or comments from Christian Spotlight on the Movies
Irony rests in the fact that while Along Came Polly proudly purports the idea that the “safe” choice isn’t really the best choice, the run of the mill making of this film does nothing but choose what is “safe” with jokes, characters, and storylines that are all very commonplace.
Polly, of course, is supposed to be the complete opposite of risk-assessment-Reuben as the free-spirited, bohemian girl who likes spicy “ethnic foods” and salsa dancing.

 CNN.com - Review: 'Along Came Polly,' there went quality - Jan. 16, 2004
Reuben falls for free-spirited Polly (Jennifer Aniston), an old friend he hasn't seen since the seventh grade, after his bride (Debra Messing) cheats on him during the first day of their honeymoon with their French scuba instructor (a muscular, naked Hank Azaria).
Among the horrors that befall Reuben while he's dating Polly: Moroccan food, which exacerbates his irritable bowel syndrome; a plugged toilet afterward, which he tries to unclog with a loofah; Polly's blind pet ferret, who runs headfirst into furniture; and pick-up basketball against a shirtless man who's sweaty, hairy and fat.
But Reuben and Polly are so insurmountably different (and Stiller and Aniston have so little chemistry, despite their individual charms) that it's hard to imagine why they should end up together, and hard to care.
