In San Francisco| after a year's relationship| Tom proposes to Violet; she accepts. She's an experimental psychologist| hoping for a post-doc at Cal. He's a sous
chef who runs the kitchen when the chef is away. When Cal falls through and she gets an offer in Ann Arbor| Tom agrees to support the move| turning down a job as
chef at a new restaurant. The move requires postponing the wedding. At Michigan| Violet is in her element| but Tom is underemployed and frustrated; he's Stoic for a
while| but when two years in Michigan become four| Tom's frustrations boil over| and on the eve of yet another wedding date| they must make a choice. Is there any
other alternative?
While certainly overlong, The Five-Year Engagement benefits from the easy chemistry of its leads and a funny, romantic script with surprising depth and intelligence.
