| | 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. |
