Steadfastly underappreciated, Peter and Bobby Farrelly's "The Heartbreak Kid" is a surprisingly appealing comedy of romantic errors. Starring Ben Stiller as an everyman whose life is upended by an ill-thought-out marriage, the film weaves light raunch and satisfying romance for a spirited and enjoyable piece of work.
Revolving around Stiller's sporting goods mini-magnate, "The Heartbreak Kid" follows as its protagonist becomes entangled with and, subsequently, married to a woman who quickly impacts his life. Just as quickly, she becomes intolerable and leaves Stiller's lead to contemplate different and more apt romantic pairings.
The story layers enough character, laughs, and energy to be inviting; and the brothers Farrelly balance the over-the-top with the genuinely warm. The film is neatly assembled and,…
It's a shame, since the first 45 minutes of "The Heartbreak Kid" have tons of laugh-out-loud moments. However, the second half turns relentlessly stupid, making the characters completely unlikable, losing all of the film's momentum.
Seriously underrated. The original offered a much-needed corrective to Benjamin Braddock. Since then, that entitled, half-checked man-child has given rise to fully spoiled, completely unchecked man-children, and the Farrelly's version exaggerates to skewer Braddock's progeny. The directors and Stiller did this before with There's Something About Mary, but this goes even darker, removing Mary's semi-cop-out ending in favor of suggesting a never-ending cycle of misogyny and self-justification spewed by the sort of scrawny fool who loves to call himself a Nice Guy whenever he gets rejected. Brutal, brutal stuff.
The Heartbreak Kid features an always likable Ben Stiller and Michelle Monaghan is really hot but other than that it isn't funny, sweet, or entertaining. It's a huge mess and honestly a big WTF. The title is also terrible and does not fit the movie.
Am I the only one that would indeed choose Michelle Monaghan over Malin Akerman, even if the latter didn't behave like an absolute psycho like she did in this film? I think I'm still under the Kiss Kiss Bang Bang effect.
I only watched for the Stiller’s. Mainly Jerry Stiller who is a God! Thank you for letting me watch you! Here’s to more.
Nicht allzu zotiger Farelly-Brothers-Film mit der umwerfenden Michelle Monaghan und einen viel zu selten auftauchenden und dann wenig lustigen Jerry Stiller.
Manchmal peinlich, insgesamt kurzweilig und für Freunde des etwas derberen Humors geeignet.
I had to revisit this, as I finally made it to Cabo. When I was younger, I thought The Heartbreak Kid was a decent, but subpar Farrelly Brothers/Stiller collaboration. Rewatching this a decade later, I realize it is a comedy whose raunchy jokes often fall flat, only for its mature social commentary to stand out.
This is one of those neatly packaged mid-2000's -- gross-out but sweet-on-the-inside -- comedies, but one which both target-audiences have seemingly discarded. Deceptively though, it is one of the few that connects the comedic and dramatic dots, to deliver a biting critique on the institution and social pressures of marriage. At times, The Heartbreak Kid feels like the Farrelly Brothers' take on The Lobster, frequently…
It wasn't a heartbreak at all, also, there were no real comical factors that enhanced the narrative of this story to make it fairly engaging. Usually, with comedy like this that try to pass by as "romantic" too, we figure that there won't be laughing for most people since there is a lot of reliability on physical comedy with exaggerated charades and attitudes. Nonetheless, a lot of us go into the theater or streaming platforms to check movies like this, with the straightforward aspiration to have fun.
Lies always drive us through a karma trip, in the end, is inevitable. We see our character make so many mistakes from point A to B, and even though there are some hyperboles…
