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.
In the end, the real heartbreak was the fact I chose to spend my night watching this 🙁
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.
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.
When I was 28, I lived in Portland, Oregon for a year, working on a U.S. Senate campaign. I didn't know anyone in town, so I ended up rooming with a guy who worked on the Obama campaign. He seemed like a nice enough guy, but we were both working a lot and socializing with our respective campaigns, so we didn't see each other all that much. After a few months, I realized I'd never had a proper conversation with him. It was getting awkward. It became the kind of weird roommate situation where you listen from your bedroom door to see if the guy has left the house before coming out of your room because you just didn't want…
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,…
Elaine May spits on this piece of garbage.
Offensive, gross and ruining all that is original and humanistic in the 1972. The Farrelly’s turn a classic into a “comedy” with gay stereotypes, Mexican stereotypes and unfair exploration of Malin Akerman.
Incredible how this movie has aged impeccably into our more self-aware culture checking clear misogyny and man childs in movies, while nowadays they keep making them “oh now we check them for flaws but love them anyways” here The Heartbreak Kid is not peaches and cream but more of showing us the mid-life crisis of a misogynist that his biggest concern is what people say about him and getting laid to a point of forcing love while blaming everyone around him. Following this up with There’s Something About Mary was a great idea since it’s a very mean spirited look into that film, also works a postmodernism Woody Allen film.
there's a very strange and highly subversive sequence of this film (2-3 mins) that blends white knighting into the trauma of Mex/US border crossing and it remarkably still plays
