‘The Five year engagement’, a typical Rom-Com, created by the producers of ‘Bridesmaids’. I don’t know about you, but when I hear that a film’s creators have also dabbled in another film I love, I always fear that their new creation will be far worse and will not live up to the original. In fact, in this case I was proved wrong, thankfully. ‘The Five Year Engagement’ is a hilarious new film, set to warm your hearts during this wet summer we seem to be having and to make you laugh out loud throughout.
In case you haven’t already guessed ‘The Five Year Engagement’ is about, well the title explains it all really. The film follows the lives of Tom (Jason Segel) & Violet (Emily Blunt) who go through one disaster after another, further delaying their wedding.
Alongside the main characters, are the other couple, Alex (Chris Pratt) & Suzie (Alison Brie). The mad crazy couple, who get together at Tom & Violet’s engagement party and soon marry. They bring most of the humour into the film in their own unconventional ways. They symbolise what Tom & Violet could have been if they had got married straight away.
The film is your typical Rom-Com and is very predictable, you can mostly guess what’s going to happen after the first five minutes, yet it is enjoyable and will not fail to put a smile on your face. There is a part in the middle of the film that drags slightly, where you want to characters to move onto the next stage of their relationship sooner rather than later, but once over this dip, you’ll be back laughing again.
