Tomorrow the comedy The Five-Year Engagement comes to theaters. It stars Jason Segel and Emily Blunt, two actors I’ve actually met in person before – Jason at a Muppet press event and Emily at a Gnomeo & Juliet round table interview. Incidentally, The Five-Year Engagement was also co-written by Nicolas Stoller (I also met him) who co-wrote The Muppets with Jason Segel.
Jason and Emily star as Tom and Violet, a young couple who get engaged only to find out that life has a way of throwing them off track making their engagement drag out for years. I’ve seen the trailer and it looks funny.
Where most romantic comedies show you what happens leading up to an engagement, The Five-Year Engagement shows you what happens after that magical moment for one couple.
Last week Universal Pictures hosted a special screening of The Five-Year Engagement here in New York City. The cast of the movie was also in attendance and they had a Q & A session with the audience afterwards. Sitting in the audience was one of Jason’s #1 fans who got A LOT more then just having her question answered by Jason.
Check out the clip below and see what “Ultimate Surprise” this young lady received. I’ll give you a hint… it has to do with a lovely diamond. 🙂
