A man becomes increasingly jealous of his friend's newfound
success. It all starts when one of them (Black) becomes
mindblowingly, quite-literally stinking rich by selling
an invention, a pair of life-long best friends and neighbors
(they even work at the same company) finds their bond
breaking as the other guy (Stiller) starts to go crazy
with... envy. |
Larry
David - co-creator and co-genius behind Seinfeld - co-wrote
this potentially great comic piece. Simple premise with
bunch of funny people performing. In particular look
out for the sexy, brainy and FUNNY Rachel Weisz in what
is her first official comedy (I think!). Rachel has
four flicks out this year to show her amazing range.
If you play the Hollywood Stock Exchange (and who doesn't?)
then invest in the English gal. |

Ben Stiller should be making the rest of the cast green with ENVY over his $10 million pay check in a $40 million
budget!
