Tied for the best movie I have ever seen

Don't listen to the negative reviews

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

In Los Angeles, the chef Tom Solomon (Jason Segel) meets the psychologist Violet Barnes (Emily Blunt) in a New Year's Eve party and they immediately fall in love with each other. One year later, Tom proposes Violet to get married and they schedule their wedding date. However, the application of Violet to the University of Michigan to a master's degree is accepted and Tom declines to the offer of his boss Chef Sally (Lauren Weedman) to be the chef of a famous restaurant that belongs to her. His best friend and assistant Alex Eilhauer (Chris Pratt), who is married with Violet's sister Suzie Barnes-Eilhauer (Alison Brie), accepts the position. They postpone the wedding and Tom and Violet move to Berkley for two years. While Violet befriends her Professor Winton Childs (Rhys Ifans) and colleagues, Tom has difficulties to find a job and work is a restaurants specialized in sandwiches. Two years later, when Tom is ready to return to Los Angeles, Violet is invited to be assistant professor in Michigan. What will happen to the couple?"The Five-Year Engagement" is a delightful romantic comedy with the lovely Emily Blunt in the lead role. The plot combines romance, drama, comedy and black humor in right doses and the only boring moment is when Chris Pratt sings – probably he is a better chef than singer. Jason Segel shows great chemistry with Emily Blunt and is easy to understand the relationship problems due to professional realization. The beauty of Dakota Johnson is amazing but her shallow relationship of her character with Tom is not well explored. One of the best moments is when Tom has lunch with his parents. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "Cinco Anos de Noivado" ("Five-Year Engagement")

This was funny, laugh-out-loud funny at times although it did feel too long especially in the middle (Michigan) section which got a little weird and meandering. Good chemistry though between our couple, Emily Blunt, & Jason Segel who worked well off each other and a great back up cast including Chris Pratt -worst best man ever and Rhys Ifans as a sleazy college professor. As far as "romantic comedies" go I enjoyed this as it had a fairly intelligent script and wasn't a total cliché.The movie (obviously) takes place over a 5ive year time span following a couple named Tom and Violet who in the opening scene get engaged and then continue to find their ongoing wedding plans interrupted by a number of surprises including a move to Michigan where Violet has been accepted into a fellowship but which sees Tom becoming increasingly frustrated (and crazed) by missed job opportunities, a bad beard and a new hunting obsession. 12/13/15

I gotta say, Emily Blunt always has tremendous chemistry with whoever she works with. I still think her and Matt Damon in The Adjustment Bureau are one of the best movie couples in terms of chemistry on screen (regardless if you liked the movie or not). Who doesn't love Jason Segel anyway? Add some Chris Pratt with the beautiful Allison Brie and you have a well rounded cast. The first 45 minutes are great, the next 40 dragged for a bit and the last 40 minutes wrapped things up well.It's well written thanks to Segel, and Stoller did a good job directing. And I think the acting is superb, with the standout being Chris Pratt. I laughed out loud at his first kitchen scene with Segel. Pratt is a future star and I'm really looking forward to his take on a superhero (Star lord). You had to know right when Rhys Ifans walks on screen that he would be the guy that kinda screws things up for the couple. I enjoyed this movies realistic take on romance. Similar to 500 Days of Summer and Your Sister's Sister it gives you a different taste of the typical romantic tale. Not every relationship is perfect and I don't like movies that tell you that. But this couple really had me rooting for them throughout the movie.My only real complaint is that cant you find a way to wait to start your new job and get married? I know that's the whole premise of the movie is that long gap in between getting engaged and getting married but come on. Just have a small wedding one quick weekend. Isn't that more worth it then waiting years upon years. Quick note, I found it interesting how even with the title being Five Year Engagement they never use the 'One year later' screen or anything. We are just led to assume that the times have changed.A fun movie nonetheless, and the chemistry between the whole cast is a definite highlight.8.1/10

A lot of reviews say that this movie is not worth your time. It totally is. I really love this movie. I think many came into this movie expecting a lot of laughs without thinking. This is not that type of movie. It's not just dumb laughs. There are a lot of metaphors about psychology and relationships. The chemistry between Emily Blunt and Jason Segel is great. I also thought that the jokes worked and I actually was not bothered by the 2 hour runtime.This is a movie I'd definitely recommend. I enjoyed it and it's a movie I'd like to watch again.
