Segel, Blunt reunite in ‘Engagement’

The movie: "The Five-Year Engagement"

When: Opening Friday at local theaters

Cast: Jason Segel, Emily Blunt, Chris Pratt, Alison Brie

Director: Nicholas Stoller

The story: Comic complications abound during an engaged couple's long walk down the aisle.

The buzz: The latest comedy from producer Judd Apatow's comedy factory reunites Segel and Blunt, whose shared credits include "Gulliver's Travels" and "The Muppets." But it's an even bigger reunion for Segel and writer-director Stoller ("Get Him to the Greek"), who co-wrote "The Muppets" with Segel - and directed him in "Forgetting Sarah Marshall."
