The Regular Guy Reviews: The 5 Year Engagement

I wanted to love this movie because I’m usually all about any movies that anyone in the whole Judd Appatow crew of friends make, and I love both Jason Segel and Emily Blunt…the movie started really strong, but then it just really started to drag in the middle. I think it could’ve been half an hour shorter and still been just as effective, but I was kind of bored for awhile.

Besides that, I liked the way they ended it with all the insanity happening so fast, I really loved the first 30-40 minutes of it, and I also thought there was some wonderful use of music. The “We Didn’t Start the Fire” parody was hilarious – I haven’t heard that song in ages, and I it was used great. Tokyo Police Club’s “End of a Spark” was also a great song choice for when Violet is at the bar hanging out with her co-workers when she decides to confide in the professor.

Finally, Allison Brie was probably my favorite character in the movie, what a great job – I’ll leave it at that, but yeah she was so convincing.
