Comedy deadzone, with Ben Stiller as a risk assessment analyst who, on his honeymoon, worries about precautions involved with scuba diving, but doesn't think twice about leaving a sexy new bride (Debra Messing) with the naked French hunk (Hank Azaria, absurdly rip) teaching it. There's irony in there somewhere. Marriage over. Along comes Polly (Jennifer Aniston, sexy but wasted on a confused role), a non-commital extrovert who shows him how to live a little by stabbing throw pillows to death. If only the leads had even a hint of chemistry, we might care about Stiller's whole caution to the wind, "gift of freedom" liberation thing. Or, whether he and Polly make it as a couple. No way do these two wind up together on a beach drinking mai-tai's after the restaurant incident -- not to mention her bathroom.
And, what's with Polly's Rachel-itis? Incompetent waitress and she finds a list categorizing her faults on a laptop (season 2, disc 2, episode 2.. which, by the way, is a lot funnier than this movie). Oy.
