The five year engagement is definitely not the perfect cookie!

After seeing Get Him to the Creek, I had high high hopes for Director Nicholas Stoller and boy was I disappointed. Me and my friend Stephen had seen the trailer for this new movie for weeks on end and we were both eager to watch this the moment it came out. Well today was the day we finally decided to watch this and now that I have I can safely say that we should have picked something else.

There were moments that gave us a good chuckle but I am afraid these moments were rather scarce throughout this film. I love Jason Segel and Emily Blunt so when I heard they were staring together I thought the chemistry would certainly be there, unfortunately this chemistry was lacking. I found it quite funny that this film made reference to The Notebook since that movie's chemistry was unforgettable as was the film itself.

Besides the chemistry I also found the story to be somewhat drawn out and sketchy. Sometimes trailers can hype a movie up to be something it's not and this was definitely the case with the Five Year Engagement.

Would I recommend others to see this? Probably not since there are so many epic romantic comedies out there! At least I have Batman Rises to look forward to as I'm sure you all are too.
