Jennifer Aniston and Ben Stiller’s forgotten rom-com is about to vanish from Netflix. The 2004 film’s departure is part of a much bigger streaming shakeup this July.
Along Came Polly is leaving Netflix very soon
Along Came Polly (2004) will leave Netflix in the United States on July 1, 2026. What’s on Netflix confirmed the romantic comedy’s departure as part of a massive licensed title purge. The film joins dozens of other movies and series exiting the platform that day.
John Hamburg wrote and directed the Universal Pictures release starring Ben Stiller and Jennifer Aniston. The story follows risk assessment expert Reuben Feffer after his wife cheats on their honeymoon. He then reconnects with former classmate Polly Prince and falls for her unpredictable lifestyle.
Philip Seymour Hoffman, Debra Messing, Hank Azaria, Bryan Brown, and Alec Baldwin round out the supporting cast. The film opened at number one at the US box office in January 2004. It ended the month-long reign of The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.
Along Came Polly earned $178 million worldwide against a production budget of $42 million. The film also topped the UK box office for two consecutive weekends after its February 2004 release. Universal Pictures distributed the romantic comedy across international markets.
Rotten Tomatoes currently holds the film at a 27% score based on 163 reviews. The site’s critics’ consensus reads, “Though the supporting actors are funny, Stiller and Aniston don’t make a believable couple.” Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave it an average grade of “B” on an A+ to F scale.
Other notable titles leaving Netflix on July 1 include Bohemian Rhapsody, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, and Field of Dreams. The Madagascar animated franchise and classics like My Girl and Steel Magnolias also depart. Subscribers should plan their final viewing sessions before the streaming platform removes these licensed titles.
