You know you're in for a treat when the DVD you
are about to watch has the words From the Guys who brought you
"There's something about Mary" stamped on the DVD cover and the
Heartbreak Kid is no exception to the rule. Another politically
incorrect classic from the Farrelly brothers, The Heartbreak Kid
stars Ben Stiller as Eddie, a 40-year old man who is still hung up
about his ex girlfriend of five years.
As his week goes from bad to worse,
Eddie has the chance meeting with the beautiful Lila (Malin Akerman)
who eventually fall for each other. Pressured by his father
(Jerry Stiller) and his best friend to marry Lila, his perfect life
soon starts to crumble as he discovers that Lila is not who she
seems.
Their honey moon is a disaster and due
to certain events, Eddie starts spending less and less time with his
sex crazed wife and meets Miranda (Michelle Monaghan) who he
believes is his true soul mate in life.
This comedy will have you cringing,
embarrassed and crying from laughter as the Farrelly brothers use
their wit and extraordinary comedic abilities to create another
classic comedy. Ben Stiller does a remarkable job as Eddie as does
Malin Akerman who definitely steals the show in certain scenes,
match that with Ben Stiller's real-life father Jerry Stiller and you
have one entertaining comedy.
Probably the most memorable scenes in
the movie are the over the top sex scenes with Akerman and Stiller
which had us all in stitches and the ending with the "kitty ring".
These scenes have the Farrelly brothers stamp on them and without
them, they wouldn't be a Farrelly movie. Classic Champaign comedy!
The video and audio quality of the
Heartbreak Kid are exceptional with the film presented in an aspect
ration of 16:9 widescreen with Dolby Digital 5.1 for that true
cinematic experience.
The special features for the Heartbreak
Kid are great and if you enjoyed the movie, you'll most likely watch
the extras with some great behind the scenes and an exceptionally
funny Gag Reel. The commentary by the Farrelly Brothers features
those two comedic brothers in assisting the viewer what on earth
goes on in their minds. Highly Recommended
