Synopsis
Risk-averse Reuben Feffer's (Ben Stiller) best-laid plans for life and love careen wildly off track when his bride (Debra Messing) dumps him on their honeymoon for a muscle-bound scuba instructor (Hank Azaria). Stunned, humiliated and in the grip of acute indigestion, Reuben plans to play it safer than ever. But a chance encounter with an adventure-craving, childhood friend named Polly (Jennifer Aniston) shoots him into a whirlwind of extreme sports, spicy foods, ferrets, salsa dancing and living in the moment.
Awards
2004: Nominated for Razzie Awards: Worst Actor (Ben Stiller)
Critics' reviews
- "Has plenty of funny moments, but there's no chemistry between stars Ben Stiller and Jennifer Aniston. It's hard to accept that these two characters are, or even could be, in love"
- "Might be a lame, formulaic comedy, but it sets up entertaining sequences cleverly designed for the talents of three of its stars"
- "Stiller and Aniston have zero sexual chemistry. But they have impeccable comic chemistry"
- "Recycles gags from various, more successful gross-out and romantic comedies, but without any zest or imagination"
- "There is no central drama, no surprise, no tension in his comedy."
- "It’s not bad, but given all the talent involved, it would have been nice for Hamburg to push the envelope a bit further and deliver something with real bite"
