When “The Five-Year Engagement” opens April 27, there will be plenty of Ann Arbor-spotting opportunities — like the supporting role given to Zingerman’s Delicatessen and Bakehouse. The movie, which filmed in the Ann Arbor area last year, stars Jason Segel and Emily Blunt as an engaged couple who keep encountering speed bumps on the path to the altar. In the storyline, Blunt’s character finds out she’s gotten a job at the University of Michigan for a couple of years.
The film’s preview includes several snowy scenes of Ann Arbor and a few glimpses of the U-M campus. Zingerman’s is featured in the movie because it’s the place where Segel’s character, Tom, works. There was footage shot where Tom, as a Zingerman’s baker, is making loaves of bread. The cast and crew essentially took over the Zingerman’s Bakehouse on Plaza Drive for a day of shooting. They also filmed at Zingerman’s Delicatessen on Detroit Street, according to Pete Sickman-Garner, Zingerman’s service network marketing manager.
