The Heartbreak Kid

I'm a big Ben Stiller fan overall so I usually watch almost all of his movies. Hes been know to be hit or miss with some movies. With some that have been reviewed favorably and some not so much. This is was the latter as this one was panned universally. However I urge people to watch it and give it chance itself because its definitely a good movie.

First this is a rom-com movie and what I usually enjoy about these type of films is the pacing is always pretty good. Thats no different with this film as it never feels like its draggy or boring at all. Keeps you engaged and entertained at all times because you're wondering what itll happen.

Second this had pretty good cast of actors/actresses who all did pretty well with source material at hand. I thought the story was very believeble and something that can honestly totally happen in real life.

The only reason I won't give the movie a 10 out of 10. Has to do with looking at the comedy in the film overall. While there were few scenes were I spit my water out laughing because it was so funny. There were others where I had a completely straight face as the jokes fell flat. I do believe also that a being Ben Stiller fan might make you review the movie more favorably I don't think reviews will be as favorable for non fan. However its still worth watch regardless.

A very funny, entertaining film that is not as bad as everyone says, I recommend it.

The horrible crude scenes leave a bad taste and overshadow any funny scenes. I think the Farrelly Brothers wanted to recapture the success of "There's Something About Mary" -- but they've flopped hard.

The universe of "Mary" was completely wacky and any naughty parts just fit into that universe. This one feels like there were too many screenwriters tinkering with it. (5 are listed). Someone wrote a mainstream romantic comedy script -- then someone else (The Brothers, I'm guessing) came along and just stuck in gross shocking bits.

It's very uneven. It loses steam in the third act. Has a very unsatisfying and unpleasant ending. Carlos Mencia is obnoxious. Ben is looking too old to be playing these parts. Meanwhile, the girls still look 25.

This movie is absolutely hilarious. The blonde actress is so funny in this role. Ben Stiller good as always. Lighten up people. This isn't supposed to be Citizen Kane.

I really enjoy this movie. No it's not in my top Farrelly Bros movies but a 5.8? 7.5 for me. I get sometimes remakes are judged more tough but where this isn't Dumb and Dumber, TSAM or Kingpin, it's a funny and entertaining movie.
