The Five Year Engagement

And this week's Friday night movie has been... The Five Year Engagement!

Well I'm well and truly on my way to the alter so i was in the mood for watching a wedding movie.

Sure, some of the jokes were hit and miss, and you could've easily shaved ten (or even twenty) minutes off the movie. But this has credibility as a rom-com as we see the ups and down of a relationship from the proposal to the wedding itself - which is rarely seen in such a genre. Indeed, it may be easy to dump on the rom-com as a genre but I will certainly take any such movie if it does things differently and has a depth to match - This movie does indeed deliver. It also helps that both Emily Blunt and Jason Segel make a convincing couple
Plus it's funny to see a pre-Guardians of the Galaxy Chris Pratt and a pre-Fifty Shades of Grey Dakota Johnson. XD
