The Five-Year Engagement

Description

The Five-Year Engagement follows San Francisco chef Tom Solomon and academic Violet Barnes as jobs, relocations and family pressures keep pushing their wedding farther away. Nicholas Stoller directed and co-wrote the romantic comedy with star Jason Segel; Emily Blunt plays Violet, with Chris Pratt, Alison Brie and Rhys Ifans in the ensemble. The film treats the prolonged engagement as a test of compatibility, ambition and compromise rather than a simple countdown to a ceremony.

Netflix currently carries the film for U.S. subscribers, and its official U.S. genre pages continue to list it among romantic-comedy favorites. The Netflix title page is the verified included offer as of October 28, 2026. Universal's official home-entertainment page identifies purchase and disc options, but those transactional choices are not counted as subscription streaming.
