Author Topic: Envy Nate Lehrke Master Film Handler Posts: 396 From: Denver, CO Registered: Oct 2002 posted 03-18-2004 03:37 AM                     AVOID-AVOID-AVIOD-AVIOD Since this movie has been bumped back several times and it’s being plopped into theatres during “Movie Dump Month” you can assume the quality of this movie. Jack Black’s character develops a spray that dissolves poop. (va-POO-rizer) When Ben Stiller’s character passes up on being Black’s partner with the patent, Stiller suffers from “envy” & he starts to hate his once best friend. Now enters Christopher Walken to help the situation while they get into many unfunny scenarios. Only nice thing is Rachel Weisz. It would have been funny for a 2-3 SNL skit, not a 5-reel movie. Jack Black has had one funny movie (School of Rock) and Ben Stiller keeps playing the same role every time.

And it's the same exact thing for Ben Stiller ... except it's worse, since Stiller is in ten movies in any given two-month period. The film-makers think that changing his HAIR STYLE will make it a fresh performance! "Well, in Along Came Polly, he had his curly hair, but in Envy he has straight hair, and in Dodgeball, he has wavy hair, but a mustache ... see, different!" I'll wait until I see Envy before I make my final decisions, though.  |  IP: Logged Darryl Spicer Film God Posts: 3250 From: Lexington, KY, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 04-30-2004 03:10 AM                    one big hunk of CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 0 Stars out of four.

Not even Christopher Walken could redeem this, although he was funny as usual. The story was not interesting, the dialouge was horrible, and the performances (except for Walken) seemed extremely bland. Also, another case of the trailer ruining the film. AJG  |  IP: Logged
