About this movie

From the producer of Bridesmaids and the director of Forgetting Sarah Marshall comes an irreverent comedy about an engaged couple who keep getting tripped up on their long walk down the aisle. Tom (Jason Segel) and Violet (Emily Blunt) seem destined to live happily ever after, but as one hysterical delay follows another, everyone starts to wonder: can they survive the engagement? Co-starring Chris Pratt, Alison Brie, Rhys Ifans, Kevin Hart and Mindy Kaling, The Five-Year Engagement "slaps a goofy smile on your face and keeps it there!" (Peter Travers, Rolling Stone)

Ratings and reviews

Ever so slightly too long, but I found it immensely enjoyable none the less. The family jokes, particularly sticking your foot in it at the dinner table, were spot on. Emily Blunt's character was very sweet and caring at times with costar Segal's downtrodden chef. All the supporting caste were most excellent as well.
