I grew up in a Jewish household, where my family liked to keep all the yarmulkes (for all you gentiles, that's the shiny piece of cloth you wear on your head during services) in a drawer in the dining room. So when Jason Segel tells Emily Blunt -- in this new clip from "The Five-Year Engagement" -- about a drawer exclusively dedicated to his religious belongings, know that it's based in truth. (Also, his mutha would be so proud!)
The upcoming Judd Apatow-produced comedy follows Tom (Segel) and Violet (Blunt), a couple attempting to get married, only to have many, many obstacles get in the way. In this scene, Tom and Violet's respective families sit down to discuss the religious customs that will be taking place at the wedding. However, because Tom was raised a Jew, and Violet a Christian, it makes the preparations slightly complicated.
Should the men wear yarmulkes? Yes, but then non-Jewish guests will have to receive communion. ("Wait, that's not happening at my son's wedding!") You can see the rather awkward exchange go down in the video above.
"The Five-Year Engagement," starring Segel and Blunt (and directed by Nicolas Stoller of "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" fame) will hit theaters nationwide April 27. L'chaim!

Nice to be visiting your blog again, it has been months for me. Well this article that i've been waited for so long. I need this article to complete my assignment in the college, and it has same topic with your article. Thanks, great share.
This topic is something that I have been looking into for a while now and your insight is exceptional. Thanks for sharing this information. Authorhouse
AuthorHouse: This topic is something that I have been looking into
Definitely not my favorite clip from this one, but it does look like a halfway decent movie. Is it simply impossible to make a truly entertaining romantic comedy? I'm starting to think it is... Anyway, found a ton of additional clips and quotes here:
