    What a disaster! Ben Stiller how could you?!

    I have never felt the need to write a review on a movie before but this movie was horrible. I am not anywhere near a prude but this movie made even me uncomfortable. It might as well have been soft porn. I think they were trying to get Something about Mary or 40yr Old Virgin laughs but in this movie the parts were just crude without being funny. They did not even go with the movie. I can not remeber the last movie I wanted to walk out on. ( Well I actually think it was Eyes Wide Shut where the theater clapped when it was over! LOL)

    I am a fan of Ben Stiller which is why I went. His agent should be fired for allowing him to go with this movie.

    I do not recommend you even rent it it was that bad.

    Heartbreak Kid.

    This movie had its ups and downs. Ben and Jerry (haha) are laugh out loud funny with their awkward relationship. Jerry plays a 77 year old father who acts like a typical party college student with his son being the more conservative type that shouldnt take his advice, but does at certain points of the film. Ben has a hilarious best friend (as seen in the previews). I would've liked to see him more tho because he definately was a crack up in every seen. You kind of know how this movie is going to turn out, but there are some great scenes and some great laughs. Michelle is absolutely beautiful. You cant help but feel sorry for Ben's character because for the majority he is a dumb and clueless man. This movie takes you through a rocky relationship between two newly weds and Ben trying to run from that relationship. If you love Ben Stiller go ahead, otherwise I would wait till on video.

    I strongly suggest you go back to school and do some major homework....You should learn to READ again and UNDERSTAND why they put the rating system for us to understand.

    "R? - STRONG SEXUAL CONTENT, crude humor, language and a scene of drug use involving a minor.
    This is why they give us "ADULTS" the option of seeing what the movie is about and why it was rated "R" It also gives us the opportunity to judge if we in deed should take our children or parents to a movie with this rating. I am sick and tire of people condemning what they don?t understand.

    THIS MOVIE IS FUNNY AND YOU CAN'T TAKE THAT AWAY.
