In Defense of... Along Came Polly / Ep. 137

On Episode 137 of the Always the Critic Podcast, we begin a quick mini-series where each host defends a presumably indefensible January release movie panned by critics, starting with 2004’s Along Came Polly. Rico tries his best to convince Jess that Along Came Polly is an underrated comedy, citing Phillip Seymour Hoffman’s brilliant side character and a few strong scenes. The two discuss what the critics said back when the movie first hit theaters, as well as the effectiveness of the gross-out humor in the movie, the love story’s believability, and their opinion of Jennifer Aniston as an actress and leading lady.
