Envy — A silly buddy comedy that's turned on its head — 6*/10
- Overall: Hilarious, ridiculous, over the top, completely offbeat, totally enjoyable and full of surprises.
- Who is it for? Those looking for something silly. Must tolerate ridicule. Not for everyone.
- Synopsis & information: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0326856/
- Known actors: Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Rachel Weisz, Amy Poehler and Christopher Walken.
- Style: It's like a buddy comedy, but where the envy creates a rift. So, it's like the opposite of one.
- Story: Many silly scenes that are ridiculous enough to make you squirm a little and they rarely go in the direction you think. The friendship represents everything here and really comes out. It's almost touching, uplifting. The more you watch and re-watch the film, the better it gets.
- Ending: A bit surprising.
- Epilogue: Too easy, but it's part of the ridicule.
- Dialogs: Silly and quick.
- Characters: Simple, yet very endearing in some way.
- Acting: Good.
