Ben Stiller and the Farrelly brothers bring out the best in each other. In The Heartbreak Kid, Stiller plays Eddie Cantrow, who--persuaded by his father and friends that he's commitment-phobic--marries a gorgeous and seemingly ideal woman named Lila (Malin Akerman, The Brothers Solomon) that he's been dating for several weeks. But after the wedding, things start to go awry... the least of these being that on their honeymoon, Eddie meets a woman who might truly be the girl of his dreams (Michelle Monaghan, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang). As in There's Something About Mary, writers/directors Bobby and Peter Farrelly push Stiller away from his increasingly schticky "tense guy" persona and draw out his sweeter, more multilayered earnest side. On his end, Stiller provides a human core to what could just be a festival of raunch and absurdity (the movie features aroused donkeys, deviated septum jokes, and digitally-enhanced body hair, among other items of questionable taste). It only takes a quick comparison with Jim Carrey in Me, Myself & Irene or Jack Black in Shallow Hal to see what a surprisingly delicate balance that is. The Heartbreak Kid may not be quite as wildly sublime as There's Something About Mary, but it comes extremely close, with kudos to Akerman for her unrestrained nuttiness. --Bret Fetzer

Stiller is in good form in this movie. There are many funny scenes that will have you laughing out loud. His dad also gives a terrific performance. Well worth the money.

To each their own....movies are subjective and that is why there are so many kinds...funny, drama, sad, war, horror etc. I personally found this movie to be very funny as well as my Fiance'. It is adult humor but it made us laugh. If people want to give it one star fine....respect people giving it 5. Remember...people are more likely to leave a bad review than a positive so I am sure there are many more people who found this movie funny than the other way around. Will you like it? I don't know as you can see by the reviews that it is mixed. I found the plot good (though predictable), the acting was good and it had the right amount of funny vs romanticism added. I perfect rendition of a romantic-comedy. Rent it first....if you like it, buy it!!

So much of Ben Stiller's "humor" films are based upon bodily secretions and cruelty. This one is no different. While there is apparently an audience for this type of film, the production money could have gone towards a quality film elsewhere.
Its allright.. April 10, 2009
Khaled Altaher (Riyadh, NA Saudi Arabia)
Ben Stiller, a single man who is looking to get into a relationship, meets an attractive women and gets married to her after 6 weeks only after first meeting her.
In their honeymoon he discovers she is a real freak and realized that he did a huge mistake marrying her before knowing her quite well.
He meets another women in the same hotel whom he falls in love with her. Eventually he divorces the freak and gets together with the other women.
Lesson to learn, never commit to a serious relationship unless you spend the time knowing the other person well.
Light film with some funny scenes. However the comedy could be better.

You know when a movie has a couple of out of place BAD gay jokes within the first fifteen minutes, it is going to be a boring movie. Viola.
