Review of The Heartbreak Kid (2007) by Lace — 23 May 2009

Misogynistic, conceited Eddie Cantrow (Ben Stiller) quickly realizes what a mistake he made in marrying Lila (Malin Akerman) and seeks to remedy the situation when he meets another girl while on his honeymoon in Mexico. Bobby and Peter Farrelly had much to redeem themselves for after the horrendously unfunny Stuck on You and simply blandly unfunny Fever Pitch, and this was a good return to form for them to attempt to recapture the glory that they attained from the mid-nineties through 2001. Well a good start anyway, as this film has a few flaws (the mere fact that Carlos Mencia is even in it is a huge minus) It's also more then a tad more sexist, misogynistic, and crass than any of their previous work, which might turn off many prospective viewers. However on a whole I did enjoy the film and laughed quite a few times. In full disclosure it's possibly that I enjoyed it more because the last film I saw in the theaters before this was Good Luck Chuck and pretty much ANYthing would've seemed great compared to that particular crap-fest.

My Grade: B-.

Eye Candy: Malin Akerman shows boobs and bush, Kayla Kleevage shows her amazingly huge tits.
