It seems as though every time a Judd Apatow-produced comedy
is released it surpasses the last one. But the last one was “Bridesmaids” which
instantly went down in history as one of the best comedies of the decade. It
even scored two Oscar nominations; a feat none of the other Apatow comedies
could accomplish. A follow-up film couldn’t only seem like a disappointment in
comparison, but “The Five-Year Engagement,” even with its over length, manages
to be another warm and funny romantic comedy that will have general audiences
laughing with delight. The film’s biggest asset is the wonderful pairing of
Apatow regular Jason Segal with the hilarious British beauty Emily Blunt. The
duo make a winning pair, and over the course of nearly two hours, we root for
these people to get married, although by the end, we’re nearly shouting, “Just
do it already for God’s sake!”
Jason Segal and his co-writer Nicholas Stroller (who also
directed) previously collaborated on “Forgetting Sarah Marshall.” That film
dealt with the harsh realities of
painful break-up. Here, they tell a story about a couple who keep pushing
off their marriage engagement and the strain it causes on their relationship.
Segal is Tom, who proposes to his girlfriend Violet (Blunt) at the beginning of
the film. They’re happily living in San
Francisco and their family is thrilled, well most of
them, about the engagement. But Violet gets a letter from the University of Michigan
accepting her into their psychology doctorate program. They pick up and move
(with Tom leaving behind a great sous chef job) to Michigan, putting off their wedding for two
years.
You don’t have to guess that two years quickly turns to five
years and Tom and Violet are not yet married. That’s the basic story here as we
follow the ups and downs of Tom and Violet’s relationship. Tom can’t find a
good job and is forced to work at a local sandwich shop. We get to see a lot
of Violet’s psychology program, in which she conducts some pretty hilarious
social experiments involving stale donuts. Let’s just say I was craving a donut
after the movie; maybe the whole film is just an experiment itself? There’s a
lot of stuff here that I found to be rather extraneous and as a result the film
feels unnecessarily bloated. It’s like that “unrated cut” you find on DVD these
days with twenty minutes of added footage cut back into the movie. Things could
have easily been trimmed up, but I appreciate the efforts made to develop these
characters and make us care about them. But after awhile you kind just hope
they’d fly to Vegas and get it over with.
And what’s an Apatow comedy without some hilarious
supporting characters? This film doesn’t feature as many good ones as in the
past – no one comes near the performance of Melissa McCarthy in Bridesmaids,
but that’s an unfair judgment. Violet’s sister Suzie is played by Community’s
Alison Brie, sporting a convincing British accent. She gets knocked up by Tom’s
friend Alex (Chris Pratt) and to be honest, I could probably watch an entire
movie about this couple too. Oscar nominee Jacki Weaver plays Violet’s mother
who doesn’t quite approve of the engagement but insists on getting the wedding done
quickly as grandparents “have a tendency to die.” And do they ever. The film
rather darkly, but comically, uses the passing away of several grandparents as
a way to show the passage of time. There
are some other darkly comic moments which I’d rather not spoil here, but there
are plenty of standout laugh out loud moments amongst the drama being played
out.
