Film Posters - Along Came Polly

Along Came Polly is a romantic comedy about a man called Reuben, (Ben Stiler) who catches his new wife (Debra Messing), cheating on him on their honeymoon with the local scoober diver. He comes home to start over again and bumps in to an old school friend, Polly (Jennifer Aniston). Reuben really like Polly but no matter what happens, something disasterous always happens. When hiswife returns, Reuben has to decide who he wants to be with, and chooses Polly.
The film poster is a picture of the main characters walking in the park, with Pollys pet ferrit. Reuben is wearing a suit and tie, while Polly is more casual wearing jeans and a knit waistcoat. Polly has her arm around Reuben and is losening up his tie. This implies that Reuben is an uptight character, and Polly is very chilled out and fun (due to her pet ferrit which she takes out for walks). At the top centre of the poster, its says The new comedy from the co-writer of Meet the Parents. Meet the Parents was a comedy also starring Ben Stiler which allows the audience to think that if they liked Meet the Parents, then they will like this film. Underneath is a strapline which reads For the most cautious man on Earth, things are about to get intersting. This i think intrigues the audience by making them question what in his life is about to get interesting. I also think it relates to the title as its saying how Reuben  is very cautious then along came polly, and his life got interesting. Below the image of the characters is the names of both characters, followed by the film title in a deep red which matched the colour of Jennifer Anistons top on the poster. This subconciously lets the viewer automatically realise that Aniston is playing Polly. There are then credits writtin in a grey colour that almosts blends in with the white background. Finally is the release date of the film in again a bold redish colour that matches the title colour and Anistons top.
