A depressing and frustrating movie. It has the same elements of 'The Break-Up' where I begin to hate the female lead. This one really makes me want to toss her off a bridge. Both performers are good in their roles and lead believable characters.
--Spoiler--
The movie lost me when they end up together. I absolutely could not handle the movie after that. They should have gone the alternate route and have the romance go opposite ways. But to each his own. |

Not a bad movie. A bit better than average. I like Jason Segel more and more, but not Emily Blunt. A decent R rated romcom in which I actually laughed a few times out loud. Don't expect much, but worth a rent on Date Night. |

This movie certainly doesn't disappoint! I mean, it's everything that you're expecting it to be. And, it has everything you could possibly want in a romantic comedy. Plus, it frankly doesn't hurt that Emily Blunt is one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen in the movies. Both of them (and their friends and family) provide the laughs, and their love is more real than most on-screen romances. |

The Five-Year Engagement review |
|
The first 11 minutes just spells disaster. Just too many idiotic figures displayed. Tom Solomon (Jason Segel) is a chef who proposes to Violet Barnes (Emily Blunt). Alex Eilhauer (Chris Pratt) is probably the most annoying with so many lousy lines.The couple plan a wedding. "Are you pregnant?" Answer: "Just a little." Just one of several moronic dialogues through-out the picture. You have Alex swearing with a kid on the table, Tom not looking after the kid, Vaneetha and Ming toast, the moments of stupidity just ensues. Blunt was unimpressive and Segel just unfunny (effective on TV but just not onscreen in this rater's opinion). The Five-Year Engagement's humor was just not appealing for this reviewer. Lengthy, dull and plain uninteresting. Forgettable and ludicrous all the sam... |

Dramedy! |
|
Jason Segel and Emily Blunt play Tom and Violet, who met at a New Year's Eve party and got engaged exactly one year later. Tom is a talented sous-chef about to be promoted to the enviable position of top chef at a trendy San Francisco restaurant, while Violet is a psychology graduate student hoping to win a postdoctoral fellowship at Berkeley. Berkeley turns Violet down, but she eventually wins a fellowship in a two-year program at Michigan.
Tom willingly gives up his much-sought-after job and moves cross-country with Violet but the delay of their wedding and the growing friendship between Violet and her handsome and suspiciously charming Professor does not bode well for this couple as Tom struggles to fit into his new surroundings, eventually landing a lowly job at a sandwich shop. As... |

Pleasant and Funny |
|
As someone who generally dislikes romantic comedies, this film was a pleasant surprise. It is often funny and the characters are all easy to relate to. It is not a stereotypical chick flick as a the humor is quite male oriented (it was written by Jason Segel and Nicholas Stoller).
The Five-Year Engagement is the story of an ordinary couple: Tom Solomon (Jason Segel) is a chef in San Francisco living with his English girlfriend Violet Barnes (Emily Blunt) who has a PhD in psychology. They get engaged and plan their wedding, but the attention shifts Tom's friend Alex (Chris Pratt) and Violet's sister Suzie (Alison Brie) when Suzie announces that she is pregnant, disrupting their wedding plans. When Violet is offered a post-doctoral position at the University of Michigan, Tom gives up... |
