Exactly one year after Tom meets Violet, he surprises her with a wedding ring. By all accounts, Tom and Violet are destined for their happily ever after. However, this engaged couple just keep getting tripped up on the long walk down the aisle.
A fun, entertaining picture, and another credit to Segel's rising career as a writer and star.

fresh:
A charming, funny, reactionary mating comedy from the Judd Apatow factory...

fresh:
Like Apatow's "Funny People," the film is an intentional hybrid: half gag comedy, half open-ended exploration of everything that can go wrong -- and occasionally right -- between two people whom nature, if not society, means to be together.

fresh:
An exemplary modern romantic comedy, personal and symbolic, goofy and substantial, tightly imagined yet loosely strung, wise in bewilderment.

rotten:
This is a watchable but rather drab romcom which relies too often on Apatow-school cliche.
