The Five Year Engagement!!!


Ok, so everyone knows the basic plot of a ‘Rom Com’ .Everythings is normal at the start, then things tend to gradualy go wrong until we have a very messy situation in the middle and then of course, we have the Romaic version of the; they all live happily ever after ending. Typical. But we LOVE it! It’s true we all love a good Rom Com, they are feel good movies which give us the element of cringe, allowing us to think that there are other people in the word who also have the same goofy mistakes and problems that we do!!!

Five Year Engagement for me was a delight! I loved it! I am a big fan of Jason Segel, I honestly think he is lovely!!! The title kind of gives you a heads up that this is going to be a long movie, it may of just slightly over stayed its welcome but not enough to ruin the movie! After all they have to squeeze five years into one tiny wee movie. The length is also highlighted by the fact that family members keep dying throughout L

Emily Blunt, in my eyes, played her role as Jason Segel's fiancé superbly! Quirky and elegant but just as goofy as the average Joe.
The plot highlights to us how nothing is set in stone. Life can be unpredictable as opportunities arise and different paths are cleared. It also points out to us how you really can find the right person at the wrong time! That person may be the love of your life but you still have you own life to fulfil before you can create a joint one.

The supporting characters in the movie really add to it. They constantly have you laughing and cringing!



Overall I really enjoyed the movie, I found myself laughing, cringing and pleading with characters in my seat. I am certainly no movie expert, hence why I made no attempt to evaluate the directing or anything like that but I do love people to enjoy a good Rom Com.
