Reuben Feffer (Ben Stiller) is a guy who's spent his entire life playing it safe. Polly Prince (Jennifer Aniston) is irresistible as a free-spirit who lives for the thrill of the moment. When these two comically mismatched souls collide, Reuben's world is turned upside down, as he makes an uproarious attempt to change his life from middle-of-the-road to totally-out-there! (official distributor synopsis)

An incredibly predictable comedy, where you know from the beginning how each relationship will develop. That wouldn't be such a problem, because the scheme is almost expected, but to have only two or three funny moments is pretty small for a comedy with Stiller. On the other hand, Jennifer Aniston is quite interesting here.

One of the few comedies with Ben Stiller that I really enjoy if I watch it once in a while. You forget about the predictable plot and a few toilet jokes when you get a fit of laughter from the unforgettable performance of Philip Seymour Hoffman. Jennifer Aniston with her adorably disoriented ferret and several cameo roles by big-name actors are also a delight. (70%)
