THE FIVE-YEAR
ENGAGEMENT
The Five-Year
Engagement really kept my focus
and attention with genuine emotions and a
believable chemistry relationship
running throughout the film.
It had a fresh new twist showing how the
resentment gradually builds up between the two and
starts tearing down -- ruining
their intially perfect dream.
This film is smart, well acted, and real fun to
watch.
It even tugs at the heartstrings.
It's a feel good movie that you'll leave
quite happy.
Unlike
most romantic
comedies, this one is not set up just to set up
gags.
There is actual chemistry
between the two stars.
It has some nice heartfelt moments and an actual
storyline.
A little tighter editing might have helped, but
it still remains a
pleasant and well above average comedy.
This romantic
comedy has a tangled unpredictable
foundation that works for it.
The film only pretends to be about a couple who
have their wedding plans delayed year after year.
The movie is a pleasing mix
of messy life circumstances.
The stars drift along, love, fight disengage from
their promise, and do pillow-talk therapy.
