ALONG CAME POLLY / ** (PG-13): "There isn't a lot in the movie that is funny. I did like Philip Seymour Hoffman as Sandy, Reuben's best friend; he's a former child star, now reduced to having strangers tell him how amazed they are that he's still alive. How he responds to this in one early scene is a small masterpiece of facial melodrama, but how many times does he have to slip and fall on slick floors before we get tired of it? I grant him this: He knows exactly how a fat man looks in a red cummerbund from a tuxedo rental agency."
