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.

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.

all im sayin is that the elaine may version didn't have danny mcbride in it

In the end, the real heartbreak was the fact I chose to spend my night watching this 🙁

homophobic hobbits

What a rotten, hateful movie this is. Misogynistic, homophobic, racist, it checks every box. What were the Farrelly Brothers trying time do here? Even when their movies don’t work, they’re still generally kind. This movie is malicious. The original Heartbreak Kid was a little dark, but man, this movie is just plain mean. I hated this.

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.

My therapist told me to watch this

Now that's a funny comedy! Ben Stiller is simply hilarious throughout the entire movie. The plot is out there and crazy but works well as a whole. Definitely worth watching if you want a good laugh.

Are you ready to see full douche Stiller. The Heartbreak Kid is about a man thinks he just married the perfect woman only to discover that she is a terrible person for him - just in time he meets the perfect woman. Ben Stiller's character in this movie is such a dick and such a big tool that I couldn't get into his character at all, i mean his the main character of the film and I should be cheering him on, but what went in my mind during the movie was "Just Die". Malin Akerman plays the annoying crazy wife that started off alright at the first, but then out of nowhere she turns into a crazy psycho wife. This movie has unlikable characters and a lazy cliche script.

It's a likeable movie but it just repeats itself a lot with the storyline

Ok second time seeing this and it was worse than i remembered...

The first half of this movie works rlly well, signature Farrelly brothers, entertaining enough and there are some genuinely funny moments. ... I like the premise too!! Ben Stiller does good work here as well;; i mean the whole cast does, which is probably the best thing about it. 
But then it goes nowhere. it just falls flat. And the jokes stop landing. It drags on. And it just gets stupid. And it just gave me this unsatisfying taste in my mouth. 
Some things worked here, but overall it’s a C grade Theres Something about Mary, lacking the laughs and shock humour Farrelly brothers had delivered before. It’s more mean spirited than their usual movies and feels like a waste of time by the end. 

Don’t hate it, but rlly just not that great at all.

It’s a story about a man who’s scared of women

Funny, got a good few laughs out of me.
I always enjoy watching Ben Stiller, Michelle Monaghan is always a pleasure to see, and the rest of the cast was on the level.
A few pleasant surprises along the way, yet still a tad too cringy for my taste at some points.
Also, dude, come on, not like this...

Every 2000s comedy takes place at a beach

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

I always mix this one and Along Came Polly in my mind and this one is not as funny.

Great comedy, terrible story. I haven’t seen a character arc get assassinated in the last few seconds like this since Game of Thrones

Love that Ben is just the biggest douche and liked when the movie went bat shit crazy like with the dancing mexican child and the nighttime home break in.

Michelle went to columbia.
