6. As terrific as both of those actors are
Edited on Mon Aug-23-04 01:29 PM by Fenris
They could not save that movie from being a complete waste of celluloid.

10. Yet Ben Stiller is in it too. It's an embarassment of riches.
Without the riches.

14. So you're telling us you've seen it and you didn't like it?
But... but... you liked Dead Alive! (Or did you?)

17. Yes. And I wanted hard to like Along Came Polly because
I love Stiller, Azaria and Seymour Hoffman, but I couldn't. It's not very good.
Dead Alive is hilarious.

20. Dead Alive is horrific
I mean really ... the acting ... it's awful!

I love the three you mentioned as well... perhaps I'll just stay away from this one. :(

7. Haven't seen it
but I don't care... I know I'll like it.

But then I like lots of movies that other people hate, so I'm used to it. :)

5. If it also stars Jennifer Aniston?
Sure.

8. Is this some form of cinematic math?
Edited on Mon Aug-23-04 01:34 PM by Screaming Lord Byron
Stiller + Azaria + Seymour Hoffman - Jennifer Aniston - Alec Baldwin - Ferret = Suck?

12. Wait a minute! That's implying Stiller sucks!
I agree with that equation.

18. Not a hell of a lot
but still!

I liked Office Space, and I'm going to like this movie... if I ever see it, that is. I think.

21. Well, we had her one "artistic" film, "The Good Girl"
So, that's something to take into consideration, I suppose.

30. It was pretty good.
Anniston was fairly decent in it. Also stars John C. Reilly.

19. I loved "Office Space."
I am not saying that a movie starring Jennifer Aniston cannot be good.

I am, however, saying that it CAN be bad.

22. Yes of course... but
not simply due to her very presence, is all I'm sayin.

...thereof.

31. Why is Hank Azaria always casted as the Swarmy Mediterrean Type?
He played almost identical characters in both "America's Sweetheart" and "Along Came Polly".

What, whenever a movie calls for a cheesy fake European accent to break up the couple in a movie, they call Hank?

34. I second that
It's excellent. The actor playing the other editor was really good too.
