It puts Emily Blunt in a wedding dress, which will appease the hopeless romantics in the house, even while making the institution of marriage seem ridiculously obsolete.
Full reviewJason Segel and Emily Blunt are an engaged couple who can't quite make it to their wedding day in this romantic-comedy from the writer and director of Forgetting Sarah Marshall and producer Judd Apatow (Knocked Up, Bridesmaids).
Tom (Segel) proposed to Violet (Blunt) and they both couldn’t be happier. However, the nuptials are continually halted first by their friend's competing wedding dates, then Violet's career changes. As time goes on and pressure mounts from their respective Jewish/Christian parents, Tom and Violet drift apart and the big day threatens to never arrive.
