  Stop beatin' that dead horse, Ben Stiller.

• Candy R

  
  Black comedy with Ben Stiller and Jack Black. Best friends and neighbours become estranged as one comes up with a new invention to dissolve pooh and gets rich, while the other is very jealous of his friend's success.

  It'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… More
  It'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 the talents.

  <i>"Success didn't go to his head, it went to his neighbor."</i> 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 together at a sandpaper factory. Nick and Tim often find themselves wishing for something more from life, and Nick has a habit of dreaming up harebrained get-rich-quick schemes that usually end in disaster. Tim is particularly appalled by Nick's latest idea, "Vapoorizer," a cleaning product which will make pet feces magically disappear, but to their shock, it turns out to be an incredible success, and before long Nick is wealthy beyond his wildest dreams. Tim, however, is still the same guy getting by in suburbia he's always been, and soon Tim finds himself bitterly resentful of his old friend. As Nick gets richer, Tim gets angrier, and he develops a drinking problem. One night, in a bar, Tim meets an eccentric drifter (Christopher Walken) who offers him some not-so-friendly advice on getting even with his old friend. Envy also stars Rachel Weisz and Amy Poehler as Tim and Nick's much-put-upon spouses. <b><u>Review</u></b> I am a big fan of both Jack Black and Ben Stiller, and I rented this movie with high hopes which could possibly make this review biased. The concept was decent but I felt that the whole movie fell drastically short of being a constantly humorous movie. Of course there were a few moments that could suffice as entertaining, all in all this movie felt like it had a total lack of substantialness.

  Love Walkens part in it. If you watch it, you'll not likely see it again, but you'll quote from it by saying 'pocket flan' and remeniss about shooting a stallion.

• Lady D

  
  I think this movie was definitely underated and I think it didn't even make it to the cinema box office, but I found this funny in a Ben Stiller and Jack Black way.

• Burger S

  
  Probably the worst Ben Stiller movie yet. Jack Black hit bottom with Nacho Libre.

• Daniel D

  
  Really boring bad plot

• Jason S

  
  Its never as savage as you hope it to be, and it miss the mark more times than it should. Stiller and Black are much better than this material is.

  Despite the line-up, Envy was a near complete failure. It had a story to keep it going, but it wasn't a very good story, and despite Ben Stiller and casts best efforts, it landed in theaters with a thud. It was so hard, it didn't even bounce. Not even a cult following. Even though there are some funny moments, there just aren't enough to make the movie work.

  This is one of my biggest guilty pleasure movies EVER! Most people tend to think this movie is lame and too dark,just flat out unfunny. I however apperciated the sense of humor. Jack Black and Ben Stiller are great together in this comedy about two middle aged men who work at a sand paper factory. One day Jack Blacks character comes up with the idea to make a spary that makes animal poop disapear into thin air. He invites Ben Stillers character on the idea,but he turns down the offer. A mistake he would sorely regret! Black's character becomes a flithy rich. Stiller's character has to live next to this guy,in his shadow 24/7! Wow that was a chore,he soon became envous over his former freind. He goes nuts and loses his job. One things lead to another and his character gets drunk and kills Black's hourse. Unsure of what to do he goes to the bum for help. Want more? What the movie... This movie was funny from start to finish! I loved Christopher Walken's character in this movie. The plot is super silly,but I wouldnt have it any other way..

  Nothing special, the only good things about it were: - the whole message about how important the true friendship is, and - lots of good actors. So yeah, just watch it if you don't have anything else to watch and you just want an average movie with good actors and a good… More

  Personally, I consider Ben Stiller, Amy Poehler, and Jack Black great comedians, especially Jack Black. Still, this movie blows.
