Consensus:
Though the supporting actors are funny, Stiller and Aniston don't make a believable couple, and the gross-out humor is gratuitous.

The script just doesn't have enough comic moments to fill its 90-minute running time.

The humor of this romantic comedy is sometimes laugh-out-loud funny but too often dips into the toilet tank for sprinkles of relief when the love story veers from inspired to moronic.

Between them, young love and bacteria bloom. Between us, bacteria consumes the movie.

Without the rom-com requisites of charm, chemistry, comedy and character, this doesn't even meet low expectations.

This entire movie proved to me that it's never too early to start the race for next year's Golden Razzies.

Le film est prévisible, conventionnel et on connaît les dénouements bien avant qu’ils ne surviennent.

Except for a few unfortunate scenes (one of which is in the trailer), it’s a funny, engaging, romantic comedy.

Un producto cálido cuyo mayor atractivo es el bagaje carismático de sus protagonistas.

There I sat through one lame joke after another, with that crap eating grin on my face, wondering how so much good could go so bad so fast.

Ben Stiller is either a member of Dysfunctions R Us, or else he's making a plea to be the next Woody Allen -- but even Allen himself couldn't save "Along Came Polly"

'Es una de esas películas que solamente pueden ser recomendables si es que el resto de las opciones en cartelera están con localidades agotadas'

It looks like Universal Studios had their script doctors work on this one, but clearly nobody could come up with the right prescription.

Ben Stiller merece mais do que interpretar variações de Ted Stroehmann (seu personagem de Quem Vai Ficar com Mary?) pelo resto de sua carreira.

It's a consistently amusing tale thanks largely to the eminently watchable cast.
