The Five-Year Engagement Reviews

Emily blunt 🗣🗣🗣

I liked the movie, but it felt like it was mischaracterized to me as a comedy when most of it was really sad. This movie is a good watch about how perfect timing is an illusion and that all you need to make love work is the willingness and commitment to do so.

Surprised I never heard about this

i laughed way too hard at the peonie joke

I’ve never seen a movie start off decently good and funny torpedo to such a terrible terrible TERRIBLE waste of a movie, I love Chris Pratt in this movie he’s the only thing I like everything and everyone else is horrid

So long for no reason 🙄 also way too much sex 🤦‍♀️

Why were everyone and their mothers in this movie?

5/15

I love jason segel so much but i really dislike this movie.

actually funny

Great rom com 7.0/10

Yeah, it’s a pretty damn Good movie!

Rating: 6.2/10

The Five-Year Engagement is a charming but overlong and undisciplined romantic comedy. With a great cast and relatable premise, the film explores the challenges of real-life relationships. While the chemistry between Jason Segel and Emily Blunt is believable, the film's bloated runtime and meandering script hold it back.

Highlights
- Relatable Premise: The film thoughtfully explores how career opportunities and unforeseen obstacles can derail relationships.
- Charming Leads: Jason Segel and Emily Blunt have wonderful chemistry, making their on-screen couple genuinely charming.
- Scene-Stealing Supporting Cast: Chris Pratt and Alison Brie's whirlwind romance provides hilarious moments.

Criticisms
- Punishing Runtime: The film's long runtime feels like a slog, with unnecessary subplots and repetitive conflicts.
- Lack of Tight Editing: Improvisation leads to bloated and self-indulgent scenes that need trimming.
- Frustrating Decisions: The lead characters' decisions can be grating, making it hard to remain invested in their relationship.

Verdict
The Five-Year Engagement has a fantastic cast and solid premise, but poor pacing and editing hold it back. With some trimming, this could have been a great 90-minute movie. As it stands, the film is a frustrating watch that proves even great chemistry can't overcome a poorly paced script.

8.5/10

Super fun

Emily Blunt was so unlikeable but it was a stacked cast. Another good cheesy raunchy funny Apatow film.

Started to feel like the people in the movie of just get on with it already. Felt so many scenes dragged on to add to the story but didn’t. This movie should have been 90 min max not 2 hours. I say meh because all the actors I like and were nice to see younger days

Has its moments. A bit predictable and 30 minutes too long. But Siegel is a romcom master. Pratt was fun. Lot of comedy cast.

A cute watch 6.6/10
