Strong and Moving!

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

I found this movie to be hysterical! I didn't even realize it existed until 2011. I was up late one night and I came across The Heartbreak Kid on one of my movie channels. Since it had Stiller in the film, i thought i'd give it a look. Next thing i know, i couldn't turn it off because i was laughing so hard. I laughed till i cried during certain parts. Few days later, i went and purchased the DVD. In 2014, i began putting together an extensive Blu-ray collection and I made sure that there were certain Farrely Bros films in my library. Those movies included, Dumb & Dumber, Me Myself & Irene, Kingpin, Something about Mary, Fever Pitch & Heartbreak Kid. I drew a lot of parallels from the HBK flick because I experienced an eerily similar situation in a past relationship. I was pretty surprised when I saw some reviews on this movie. Perhaps if those individuals had an experience similar to mine, they'd see the real humor in it, as I do. Then again, maybe it's just me. ;)

Ben Stiller, Michelle Monaghan, Malin Akerman and Jerry Stiller star in this 2007 comedy remake of the 1972 film. Stiller (Zoolander) plays bachelor, Eddie who hasn't found the right woman yet. Ackerman (Couples Retreat) plays Lila, an attractive woman he soon meets and dates. After 6 weeks, Eddie decides to marry her and they go to Mexico for their honeymoon. Soon, Eddie learns he may have made a mistake when Lila is not whom he expected. Eddie secretly finds romance with another woman, Miranda (Monaghan) who eventually learns he's married. The Farrelly Brothers directed this and previously worked with Stiller in "There's Something About Mary." Stiller's father, Jerry (The King of Queens) naturally plays his on screen father, Doc and Danny McBride (Pineapple Express), Scott Wilson (The Walking Dead) & Polly Holliday (Gremlins) also appear. This is a good comedy with a great cast I recommend.

This is one of those movies you can enjoy over and over. The Heartbreak Kid was remade in 2007 based on the original movie in 1972 with the same name. The remake of The Heartbreak Kid stars Ben Stiller, single Eddie who owns a sport shop. Eddie runs into Lila (Malin Akerman), whose purse gets snatched in the street. Eddie unsuccessfully tries to retrieve the purse but in turn he and Lila strike up a serious romance and Lila seems like she is perfect for him. At the announcement of a job she wants to take in Holland, Eddie looks into the matter and discovers the company policy of not relocating married employees, so; at his best friend (Rob Corrdry) and father 's (Jerry Stiller) urging, Eddie proposes and they get married. On their honeymoon, Eddie begins to feel that he made a mistake. To make matters worse, Eddie meets Miranda (Michelle Monaghan).I watched this one on the big screen (by myself as usual). - Asif Zamir

Well, maybe in private life, god bless him. He's a comedic actor, and therefore I want to see him get the sh*t. I want to see him get his nads caught in a zipper on his prom date with his dream girl whilst wearing dental braces in his pimply face, to name one scene that comes to mind. I don't want to have to witness him date the two cutest girls on face of the earth for 90 minutes. That would maybe be a romantic date movie, but not a comedy. Do I really have to spell this out the Farrelly brothers, the innovators of the comedic genre in the 1990ies? How on earth could it go all so wrong? One of my suspicion: Too many writers. Then: Let them do comedy, for Pete's sakes! Not romance. Then: The whole movie is visually way to perfect for a comedy. In the DVD commentary, the Farrelly brothers claim that this is their best-looking movie to date. Only too true, and part of the problem. I felt like I was watching a commercial by the Mexican tourism board. (Although it's an interesting point that while "There's Something ..." idealized Miami, it was still funny. But then the plot didn't involve a honeymoon.) Next: Crude can be funny. But crude must not be funny. Crude can be just crude. I'll just say "C*ck me", queefs and donkeyrape. Again, who am I telling this to? Next, this was the first movie that made me feel that the Farrellys are just out of touch. If accused of being gay, you don't fervently deny it. It's OK for women to fart or get sunburns. "Bad music taste" and a dodgy nasal septum don't qualify as divorce reasons.A short sequence of the movie where the Farrelly manage to rekindle their own style is where Ben Stiller escapes from Mexico. So they still have it in them. Let's all just pray that they don't't attempt to do romance anymore.
