The Five-Year Engagement (2012)

All things must come to an end...or do they? In this interesting new-age twist of the 'ideal relationship' a couple comes together flawlessly and ends up being completely flawed. How does this happen - and, in reality, do they really end up together? Jason Segel and Emily Blunt play the glorious couple just perfectly. They laugh and joke, and play aka "getting weird", leading one to think, "get married already"! After a mess of a sibling and a best friend ending up together we are left wondering, how will things play out? I really enjoyed watching the couple move together...and seemingly grow (just as my [married] parents did), but watching as one falls apart (unnoticed by the other)...cheating inevitably begins. I find it hard to believe that in 'real life' things would work out...or do they? Are couples able to move passed cheating...or choosing another over you? Who knows the answers to these questions which are largely personality specific. Is this a romantic film or an emotional rollercoaster? The answer will depend on your personal point of view...but the guy makes the extra effort in this film...and for whatever its worth city boys, it works. ----- 4 out 5 stars because love is all you need. ----- Theater: UES, Clearview Cinemas, Solo
