  I’m a Ben Stiller fan so I’ve seen almost all his films. I love him most in Meet the Parents and hated him in Zoolander.
  I must say that I didn’t really like his latest movie The Heartbreak Kid, a remake of a 1972 comedy.
  Directed by the Farrelly Brothers (Bobby and Peter),
  famous for directing There’s Something About Mary, The Heartbreak Kid grossed me out.
  It’s about Eddie Cantrow (Ben Stiller) a bachelor who is always teased by his father and bestfriend about his being still a bachelor at 40.
  He then meets Lila, a seemingly perfect woman who he marries after just six weeks ...
- of dating.
  While on their honeymoon in Mexico, Eddie realizes that he made a big mistake in marrying Lila because he finds out her true colors (quite repulsive) and realized that they have nothing in common.
  While there, he meets Miranda (Michelle Monaghan) and falls in love.
  He’s suddenly in a dilemma because
  he doesn’t know how to tell this to both women.
  This is the movie’s premise.
  I think the movie’s kind of juvenile and it wasn’t really funny.
  Most of the jokes were cruel and mean-spirited.
  But I must say I liked Malin Ackerman’s performance as Lila.
  Compared to There’s Something About Mary, this movie is trash.

The Heartbreak Kid

I didn't know too much about the movie The Heartbreak Kid when I first rented it. But, I figured it had Ben Stiller in it so it couldn't be too bad. As far as Stiller's movies go, this is OK but not one of his better ones. The biggest reason I ...

The Heartbreak Kid

Supposedly a remake of a 1972 comedy, this 2007 release is a vulgar R-rated flick packed with obscenities, gross-out humor, and no wits whatsoever. Prolonged scenes of rough sex are supposed to be funny, as well as disgusting smirks at bestiality. The major plot line is the same: a ...

He’s Just Not That Into You

I have watched this movie at least a dozen times. I first saw it in the movie theaters with my room mate during my freshman year of college. I went in there really not sure what to expect because the book itself I actually read. It was written by ...

A Night at the Museum

"A Night at the Museum" is a great comedy/fantasy movie with the actor, Ben Stiller at his best. I personally like Stiller in the movies "Meet the Fuckers", "The Heartbreak Kid" and "There is something about Mary", however I also like him when he does something completely different, just ...

Call Me Madam musical

In 1953, Twentieth Century-Fox released the marvelous musical, Call Me Madam with Ethel Merman, Donald O'Connor, and Vera-Ellen. It's high-powered, high-energy, and high-five fun. I love these kind of innocent musicals where the story is lighthearted and the songs merry. Oh, there's some heartbreak and drama ...
