Along Came Polly
Reuben Feffer is a guy who's spent his entire life playing it safe. Polly Prince is irresistible as a free-spirit who lives for the thrill of the moment. When these two comically mismatched souls collide, Reuben's world is turned upside down, as he makes an uproarious attempt to change his life from middle-of-the-road to totally-out-there. From TMDB

unlabelledView post →Philip Seymour Hoffman is the only reason Along Came Polly is a culturally relevant film. No one can remember anything about this film besides him.
unlabelledView post →#MarchMovieChallenge#Moviesky Day 27. Somebody dances to Latin music in a movie Along Came Polly I think it was Latin?
unlabelledView post →To be clear, Dafoe rules and I love him! But to your point, after college my roommates and I watched Along Came Polly on HBO On Demand some hungover Saturday afternoon. Not a great movie but he’s so goddamn funny in it that 3-4 of his lines are still referenced with those friends 20 years later.
unlabelledView post →Along Came Polly is a truly unique movie. It’s better than it should be, grosser than it needs to be, Philip Seymour Hoffman is it in? And he was hilarious? It’s so incredibly, wildly dumb yet genuinely sweet. I can’t believe it even exists in our lifetimes.
unlabelledView post →Watched the softcore flick Bad Girls at Play earlier and Tabitha Stevens is performing on a different plane of greatness than anyone else who’s walking through that movie The best parallel would be Phillip Seymour Hoffman in Along Came Polly. everyone else is sleepwalking and he’s owning a film
unlabelledView post →Re: accurate portrayals of professions in movies, the only actuary in a movie is Jack Nicholson in About Schmidt (Ben Stiller in Along Came Polly was not an actuary contrary to public perception). Can confirm you get jaded in your boring insurance job and end up in a hot tub with naked Kathy Bates
unlabelledView post →The third movie in the Manic Pixie Dream Girl Project at Nathan Rabin's Bad Ideas is Jennifer Aniston in Along Came Polly, which ended Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King's reign at the box office but left behind a slightly smaller cultural footprint. nathanrabin.substack.com/p/mpdg-jenni...
unlabelledView post →#MarchMovieChallenge Day 27 - Someone dances to Latin 🎶 in a movie Ben Stiller in Along Came Polly 😆👏🏼
unlabelledView post →Yep. Completely agree with that. I hate the real Lester Bangs. For me, that movie was worth it for Philip Seymour Hoffman being brilliant. He could lift ANYTHING up to stellar level. Never gave a single bad performance in anything no matter how bad it was. Case in point: Along Came Polly.

unlabelledView post →You kids wanna know how good Philip Seymour Hoffman was? He made ALONG CAME POLLY funny for those parts he was in it. Nobody liked that movie. Everyone knew it sucked, even for a Ben Stiller movie, which is saying something.

unlabelledView post →Along Came Polly for worst film. The Butterfly Effect for worst experience - a jump scare made him crack my rib. I should have called it there but I was a teenager 🤷
unlabelledView post →Why is this Hulu Stiller movie so serious; he never even did the Along Came Polly dance.
unlabelledView post →^ in the piece I cited the film "Along Came Polly" to give ppl a frame of reference of what that professional role might look like.
unlabelledView post →@stephaniemiller.bsky.social Hey hey 👋🏻. I believe the Ben Stiller movie you were thinking of where he clogs the toilet is Along Came Polly. 👍🤗
unlabelledView post →The movie Along Came Polly debuted in 2004. Given that year I was worried when a gay man became part of the plot. It was handled quite well. Very respectful.
unlabelledView post →Philip Seymour Hoffman vs... The movie: Along Came Polly The opponent: This whole board room The scene: "...or will this base-jumping, crocodile-wrestling, shark-diving, volcano-luging, bear-fighting, snake-wrangling, motocross-racing bastard die?" www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKG3...
unlabelledView post →That man was a genius. Even in a dumb fun movie like ALONG CAME POLLY he was a genius.
unlabelledView post →Yeah! He was working those shorts in that movie and he still looked great in Along Came Polly 😍 And he is soooo phenomenal with the multitude of voices he can do in one movie. It’s insane!!!
unlabelledView post →Can you also take a stand that Along Came Polly (2006) was PSH’s best film?
unlabelledView post →They initially wanted to name him "Shart Bimpson" but considering the show was called "The Simpsons" and the film "Along Came Polly" had yet to be released so the general public was unfamiliar with the term "shart," they went with "Bart Simpson" and the rest, as they say, is history.
unlabelledView post →The Phillip Seymour Hoffman scenes from Along Came Polly are collectively one of the greatest comedies of the 2000’s, but you really must judiciously avoid watching every other scene in the movie
unlabelledView post →PSH performance in Along Came Polly was the movie equivalent of Steve Carlton on the 1972 Phillies
unlabelledView post →#watched Along Came Polly is so much better than I considered it back in the day. Once upon a time I thought it was a great PSH performance with some boring shit around it, but there's so much funny in this flick. I can't help but love a movie with a blind ferret doing pratfalls. #filmskt

unlabelledView post →dear GOD I just went and looked at IMDB and HFS the movies I didn't even remember him in. Movies that I will guess do NOT make the grade: - Any Hunger Games movies (even though he was great in a bit part chewing scenery) - Along Came Polly (don't even remember him in that non-memorable movie TBH)

unlabelledView post →So for years this was Along Came Polly, a film full of my least-favourite comedy tropes that I just thought was horrendously bad. Then I ended up accidentally rewatching it a couple of years ago, and it's just kinda mediocre. Like, it's maybe a low-two. Not the epochal cataclysm I remembered.
