i thought this movie was good......


am i the only one or what?? ben stiller and jack black are real funny together... they're just funny guys to watch and they don't NEED to say a bunch of jokes to make me laugh. christopher walken was KICK ASS in this as well. his character J mann is great and a perfect character for him to play..... this movie kicks ass... disagree and i'll eat your face off.

I thought it was kinda funny. My friend thought it was hilarious. The part I thought was funny {SPOILERS} was when Corky got killed and then Tim and the J-Man had to dispose of the horse. In my opinion, it wasn't the funniest movie, but it wasn't bad.

this movie was really funny.. christopher walken gave it that extra thing, but it was really funny all around! pity no one seems to like it...

Yeah, i have to agree that there were some pretty funny bits, but I also reckon most of the script sucked. No wonder it never made it to the movies, even though it had jack black and ben stiller. Its like one of those badly written and yet still funny anyway movies, which are always good for a laugh, but nothing more. And theres nothing wrong with that!

This had to be the worst movie I have ever seen. I can't believe somthing a class comedy actors like bens tiller and jack black could be in a movie this bad. I have never in my life turned off a movie when i was in the middle of watching it or walked out of a movie theater untill i saw this movie.

You're not the only one. I really liked it. I can see why some wouldn't though; the movie did have kind of a strange feel. I am the sort of person who likes that feel. Others don't.

I thought it was really funny, but would have probably been not very funny if it wasnt for the J Man!

haha yes! and the jman singing in the car with ben stiller and then just stopping in the middle of the song and saying "...etcetera"! I love that part!

reply

yeh i just saw it and i liked it. I mean it wasnt one of my "best" movies but it would probably be one of my "favourites". VAPOORIZE i could see that coming.

Yeah I hate Stiller and Black but I thought this movie was hilarious. I guess many Americans don't like it because it really rips the piss out of them and their dreams.

reply

Envy is the worst movie I've ever seen. I didn't laugh one time. It was so incredibly bad, and I'm a big fan of Jack Black and Ben Stiller.

reply

I'm not American,and I didn't find this movie funny either. Wasn't exactly boring -I didnt actually feel like shutting the TV off, but judjing only on the "comedy side", the movie was DEAD. Nuff said.

I really liked it! It wasn't the funniest movie I've seen, but it's just very fun to watch! I don't think at all it was dead, I mean Lost in Translation was DEAD and boring IMHO, but this was nothing like it.

reply

I liked it very much!

reply

I like Ben Stiller. I like Jack Black. But this movie just didn't do it. Poorly written plot, not funny, just idiotic...and not the fun haha idiotic

I walked out

This is the kind of comedy you need to watch late on a friday or saturday night after eating way too much pizza and drinking way too much coke. You have to be in that slightly hyper but lazy state of mind to enjoy this film. Luckily I was and I thought it was hilarious. But it seemed very....ummmm...quiet..as far as comedies go. You dig? It seemed like a bit of fun, nothing serious.
Or maybe I'm just the little man who doesn't like flan.

If you love Reality and are 100% proud of it copy this and make it your signature!

reply

Agreed. Envy (I personally liked it)just isn't one of those movies with universal appeal. It's not Jack Black and Ben Stiller's usual fair. I've only seen it once, but as I recall, something about the movie just seemed surreal. That's one of the things I liked about it.

reply

Only movie I've considered walking out on. If I was watching on DVD I woulda turned that crap off for sure.

reply

I was amazed how bad this was. The script was lifeles. Sitting through an hour and a half of that half baked dreck was painful to say the least. Stiller and Black did nothing to help either. Bad show all around.

Once I thought I was wrong but I was mistaken.
