Better than Orange County and Shallow Hal

Does anyone else agree with me? Envy was much better than both SHallow Hal and Orange County. I have no idea why it didn't do well in theaters. I mean, it's not a GREAT film but it is really enjoyable. Christopher Walken is a genius, and Jack Black is...Jack Black. Cracks me up everytime; and Ben Stiller plays his classic "nothing goes right for me" character... all things which made the movie a nice experience for me...

But yeah, enough of my yappin', what do you guys think?

well, "Better"? both of those movies were filled with ham-fisted acting. i was bored to tears by both. so, as much as i hear this movie sucks, at least it has mister walken. that makes every movie better.
can you imagine how long and boring "joe dirt" would of been without him?

This movie has its own kind of humor. Not the slapstick kind or stupid comments, but just th plot of the thing, I mean the fact that Stiller is sitting in his crappy little house while Black is riding around on a white horse outside, the thought is funny in itself. WAY better than Shallow Hal, that movie was horrible.

I didn't see ORANGE COUNTY, but SHALLOW HAL sucked big time and yes, this movie was much better.
