Along Came Polly (25%)
Ben Stiller’s biggest fault might be that people confuse his films with Adam Sandler’s. While they both do predominantly comedy, there’s a difference: Stiller is actually still funny and didn’t lose his way in the late nineties. This is why Along Came Polly‘s approval rating baffles slightly.
Undoubtedly, the sex humor probably triggered the pre-SJW reviewers, but there was still a sweet romcom underneath the whole ‘my wife left me for a nudist’ premise. Heck, even the late Philip Seymour Hoffman popped up to deliver some of the best comedic moments of his career in this film.
Along Came Polly might not be Stiller’s finest, or even second-finest, work, but it’s far from the rubbish it’s made out to be. It’s decent enough and proves that the actor is definitely no Adam Sandler.
