1. The Five-Year Engagement

Beginning where most romantic comedies end, this charts the ups and downs of an engaged couple’s relationship (Segal, Blunt) and how something that starts out so strong can change over time. From the trailer it looks like it’s the woman delaying the wedding for her career and the guy wants to get on with it – only in the movies, eh. Produced by Judd Apatow and from the director of the excellent Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Get Him to the Greek. This looks less interesting than both of those, but on his past record he has to be given the benefit of the doubt. The writers (Segal and the director) say they were strongly influenced by When Harry Met Sally and how it handled a relationship that spanned many years.
