The Heartbreak Kid (2007) User Reviews

I usually like Ben Stiller but this was the worst movie that I have seen in years! It was horribly offensive with no redeeming qualities. I kept wanting to walk out but I kept hoping that it would get better, however it only got much worse! I will definitely think twice before ever seeing another Ben Stiller movie. My boyfriend and I both felt like we needed a shower after watching this movie.

Yes, whoever wrote a bad review of this movie desperately needs to lighten up. Ben and Jerry Stiller are hilarious as a funny father/son duo. And who better to play the part? I haven't laughed this hard at a movie this funny in a very long time. Anything the Farelly brothers do is fine with me. The theater was packed. A good sign that it's a good movie. Will definitely lighten your spirits.

I'm a 52-year-old man with high moral standards and spiritual conviction. I found this film to be very funny. There is one sex scene that is a bit "over-the-top" and might offend some people...probably the same people who understand the necessity of the Catholic Church torturing and burning Jews and heretics for a few hundred years, and continue to support an institution that enabled it's members to systematically **** thousands of children and then did everything in its power to cover it up, using its incredible wealth to buy their way out of the mess. For those people I would recommend Hostel, Hostel II and all of the "Saw" films.

The Heartbreak Kid is a comedy about a man named Eddie in his mid-forties who has never been married, and is having a hard time finding true love. He seems to always be on the losing end of the spectrum with nothing to call his own except a sporting goods store. His luck magically changes when he runs into a beautiful girl named Lila in the streets of California, as he tries to stop a thief who has stolen her purse. In just weeks they fall in love. They are forced into a quick marriage so that Lila does not have to move to another country for her job. Eddie soon finds out on his honeymoon that Lila is not the one he was meant to marry. Many of her dark secrets and annoying habits come to surface. On the honeymoon, Eddie meets Miranda, a down-to-earth woman who is visiting with her family. Eddie realizes that Miranda is really the one he is meant to be with. The story escalates into a series of lies and laughs as Eddie struggles to do the right thing.The Heartbreak Kid was directed by Bobby Farrelly. He was born in Rhode Island in 1958, and he graduated from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. He has directed many movies including: Dumb and Dumber, There's Something About Mary, and Me, Myself, and Irene. He has won three awards, and is quite famous as a comedic director.This movie was very disappointing to me. It was long and drawn out, never seeming to come to an end. After a while the plot became thin and the movie only got even more stupid. The only funny moments are those that are seen in the previews. There was no character that seemed to have realistic qualities that anyone could identify with or relate to. The movie, while hilarious in some scenes, turns to chaos, and the audience loses sight of whom they are rooting for. At the end of the movie, when some satisfaction is expected, it is not gained. There is no character change or growth in the

Wow, I never laughed, related to, and believed, such an intricate story line. Actual people were clapping in the theater, in some parts. My girlfriend actually learn some new moves too.. hahahahAnyway, it does kind of follow Something about Mary, in a twisted sort and humorous way. So if you liked Knocked Up and Mary you will love this... see it after dinner for sure...Last, the female lead in this is exactly like a girl I once dated...she loved to practice "Truth by Omission" and the hen pecked brother is exactly why I stay single.....why buy the farm when you can rent it! Enjoy...8 out of 10 for me.....great fun and not a kid movie for sure....

This movie started out really funny then it seemed to spiral downwards. It was shockingly over the top, ie. crudeness, sex scenes, etc. I had really high expectations for this movie. Overall I liked it but I think it could have done without a few scenes. Those of you who have seen it, know what I am talking about!

I personally thought the movie was very funny. Though there was some vulgar language and sex scenes, I feel that they added to the comedic factor of the film. This film is definitely not for children, but you shouldnt be taking your kids to R rated films if they are under age in the first place. And if they are over 17, this is probably nothing that they haven't heard before. They did stress that the R rating was associated with this film for the adult content in the previews..so there should have been no surprise. I thought there were many funny parts...and I personally love that Ben and Jerry stiller worked together in this film. The comments made by Jerry stiller were so unexpected that they were hilarious. I would definitely recommend it to others.
