Not as bad as 'they' say January 8, 2005

I saw this movie on a flight a few months ago. It kept me amused enough to watch the whole film (a rarity on a plane). Ben Stiller and Jack Black fans will enjoy this equally - both are on their usual form - funny without being too offensive. It was slated in the press but for anybody who likes a good, if a little unusual, comedy this is well worth checking out.
 This is an extremely poor film i'm afraid. March 12, 2005

Envy... Well I'm certainly not envious of the director who made the film or the producer who oversaw production. I'm certainly not envious of the scriptwriter or the two lead actors; Jack Black and Ben Stiller, so what does that leave? Actually nothing, there is nothing in this film which could possibly make anyone envious of the production; it is a complete failure! The flimsy story line, laughable characterisation and feeble comedic moments make this a must miss for any Stiller or Black fan! How the director managed to create such a disaster with the pairing of these comedy geniuses is dumbfounding and this film should be consinged to the bargain 99p bin at local gas stations but that would be being generous.
 Do you ever watch your hand !? February 23, 2005

I must admit, i didnt think this was one of Ben Stiller better films. Jack Black was definately the funniest character in the movie. One of the scenes that sticks to mind is when Jack & Ben are driving home from work and Jack starts talking about how his hand didnt seem to be a part of him the whole day. His hand kept sitting next to him, following him around everywhere like a mutant sidekick...this had me in stitches..but maybe thats just me. View it and see what you think. Its funny and lighthearted.
Va-poo-rise! - Good Idea For Plot Basis September 4, 2005
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
Jack Black and Ben Stiller team up in this one! Best friends who everyday drive to the same job in the same car. Until one of them gets an idea that turns them into a millionaire! Now the green eyed monster has risen and what lies in it's wake is betrayal lies and dead horses!It's a good movie and funny in a lot of places. Black and Stiller make a great team Jack Black is his usual crazy self and Stiller is his mumbly awkward hillarious guy! Also in the film are Christopher Walken and Rachel Wiesz who in turn are extremely funny!
Another Stiller flop (SPOILERS) February 12, 2005

Not as bad as Zoolander, not as good as Meet the Parents.
In fact, Stiller isn't even the best actor in this film. Jack Black takes this title, as an average guy who has the idea for "Vapoorise", a spray which makes dog faeces simply disappear.
Working at the same company, Stiller dismisses the idea as a "dream", and when Black asks him for $2000 to help fund research, he declines. He is gobsmacked though, when a few months later Black comes up with a working spray. He makes millions of course, and the whole middle part of the film is about Stiller's envy at his best friend's fortune.
The funniest part of the film is when Stiller gets drunk and accidentally shoots Black's beautiful white horse with a bow and arrow, then buries the evidence in his recently excavated pool.
This is a feel-good comedy, and the slapstick humour is best watched with children. If you do not have kids, I would advise against buying.
