Envy is a funny movie, but it's more funny peculiar than funny ha-ha, so enjoyment is purely a matter of personal taste. When Nick (Jack Black) invents an aerosol spray that makes...( read more

January 6, 2009Forgettable, throw away comedy that successfully wastes some great talent. To see a cast like this plod through a fairly mundane story while providing only the slightest of snickers is shameful. Stiller and Black completists may want to check it out, but anyone wanting something ...( read more)

December 16, 2008Saw this at a drive-in double feature. I don't remember what the first movie in the double feature was anymore. I hadn't really known anything about this before hand, but thought it would be a good chance to see a little indie pic. I generally like Jack Black. I like Ben Stil...( read more)

November 17, 2008"Success didn't go to his head, it went to his neighbor."
Barry Levinson directed this comedy in which success has a rather surprising effect on two old buddies. Nick Vanderpark (Jack Black) and Tim Dingman (Ben Stiller) are best friends and next-door neighbors who work t...( read more) -

December 11, 2007It had its funny parts, but it wasn't hilarious like you'd think it would be with Ben Stiller and Jack Black. Story had a good premise, but could have been much stronger. Worth watching if you get the chance, but don't buy or rent it.

November 20, 2009It's not a particularly memorable comedy, but it's fun and original. The chemistry between Ben Stiller and Jack Black are the selling point of the movie, along with a crazy appearance by Christopher Walken. It was an interesting story, but it could've been far better considering ...( read more)

November 17, 2009God what an awful movie. I almost shut it off about 20 minutes in but figured it might get better, what a mistake that was. Complete lack of chemistry with EVERYBODY in the movie, except for the bum. The concept of the movie is stupid, the product in the movie is stupid, and its ...( read more)

August 19, 2009To be honest, this movie was a little disappointing. Don't get me wrong, because it does have its funny moments, but if Ben Stiller (my celeb crush) and Jack Black (1 of the funniest people in the world) were not in this movie, I would possibly give it 1 and a half star. The movi...( read more)

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
The film is neither fish nor fowl nor some arresting new entity, but a lumpish coagulation of conflicting impulses and unrealized gestures. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
The movie is funny, yes, but not really funny enough. full review

Nick Schager, Slant Magazine
The license plate that reads "Caca King" in Barry Levinson's Envy nicley sums up this dreadful "money vs. friendship" comedy. full review
