"Since we have been together I have felt more uncomfortable, out of place, embarrassed, and just physically sick then I have in my entire life." - Reuben Feffer

Why watch this? It's a great romance about a risk-averse young man who encounters a sexy free-spirit.

Plot Summary: Reuben, an insurance risk analyst who lives a very careful and risk-averse life, is left reeling when his new bride leaves him for a scuba instructor on their honeymoon. Returning home alone, he unexpectedly encounters Polly, a free-spirited childhood friend who embodies everything he is not: spontaneous and adventurous. As their relationship develops, Polly introduces Reuben to a world of spontaneity and challenges his carefully constructed approach to life.

Dad's Preview: It was wise to cast the spunky Jennifer Aniston up against the reserved Ben Stiller. She wonderfully portrays a an adventurous gal. Ben has made a career of portraying neurotic, shy, guys who lack confidence. The film's strength, besides her adorable blind ferret, is their interplay. She tries to get him to loosen up, but he resists with every fiber in his being. All this stress causes his irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) to flair up. Yikes! Can this unlikely pairing work things out and fall in love? Only the ferret knows.
