ComedyDramaRomance124 min

A year after meeting, Tom proposes to Violet, and what should be a straightforward path to marriage keeps getting pushed further out. Jason Segel is Tom, whose long engagement to Emily Blunt’s Violet stretches from a happy promise into a test of timing, patience, and whether the life they planned can survive repeated delays. As the wedding date keeps slipping, the relationship has to contend with everything that comes from putting a future on hold. Chris Pratt and Alison Brie round out the couple’s orbit as friends and family watch the engagement drag on far longer than anyone expected.
