The Five-Year Engagement

Originally released in 2012.

I've watched this movie 1 time and given it an average score of 4⭐ (out of 4).

Is more of a "problem play" than any other genre, really. It's a romcom, but there's a lot of turbulence along the way. Blisteringly funny though, and full of bit parts for actors that were (or would go on to be) big deals. Also obviously it's a big plus for me that so much of it is set around Ann Arbor. Worst thing is that its second act drags, but there's a great payoff.

* this is my first logged watch, but I had seen the movie before.
