Along Came Polly
A risk assessment expert reeling from marital betrayal navigates a chaotic quest for emotional redemption, where every date becomes a high-stakes gamble and love feels as unpredictable as death.
“For the most cautious man on Earth, life is about to get interesting.”
Synopsis
Reuben Feffer is a man who has spent his entire life playing it safe. Polly Prince is an irresistible free spirit who lives for the thrill of the moment. When these two comically mismatched individuals collide, Reuben's world is turned upside down, as he makes an uproarious attempt to change his life from middle-of-the-road to totally-out-there.

A crew of 474+ credited
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

💰 Box-office hit — grossed 4.2× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
