Along Came Polly (2004)
Director: John Hamburg; Cast: Ben Stiller, Jennifer Aniston, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Debra Messing, Hank Azaria
Reuben Feffer (Stiller) works as a risk analyst for an insurance company and believes that if you plan ahead and play it safe, you can have a pretty good life. When his wife of a few days (Messing) dumps him on his honeymoon for their scuba-diving instructor (Azaria), Reuben vows to keep things under an even tighter lid. But along comes Polly (Aniston), a bright, buoyant and breathtakingly irreverent childhood friend who teaches him to live life on the edge.
Oscar Count: 0
Quote: I know that I have a .013 percent chance of being hit by a car on my way home. Or a one in 46,000 chance of falling through a subway grate. So I try to manage that risk by avoiding danger and having a plan and knowing what my next move is. And I guess you don’t exactly live your life that way. Yeah… which is great, but I’m not gonna ever be a dirty dancer, and I don’t eat food with my hands, and I really like you, but I just don’t think this is gonna work out.
