Five Year Engagement

Five Year Engagement is the story of the modern couple. Who meet, fall in love, get engaged, and stay engaged. Forever.

Jason Segel, the master of comedy these days and one of my favourites, writes and co directs this film about a perpetually engaged couple, never really pushing to get married and slowly resenting each other.

Its quite depressing at times, at other beyond stupid.  It wasn't sure if it was a comedy or a drama and not fully succeeding at either.  Unlike Segel's other films, this one stops and stalls so much, you never know what to feel.  Not even Segel naked can bring it back from the brink.

One to avoid.
