The Heartbreak Kid
Oct 1st, 2007 by Nick
Tonight I got to see an advanced screening of The Heartbreak Kid. This movie features Ben Stiller, Jerry Stiller, Michelle Monaghan, and Carlos Mencia. This movie is about Ben Stiller meeting an
attractive woman whom he thinks is perfect. After her job says they are going to relocate her, Ben decides that the only way to keep her with him is to marry her. So, after only 6 weeks of dating they get married. For their honeymoon they go down to Cabo. On the first few days there, Ben’s new wife gets horribly sun burned. Not only that, but she is also letting him in on some secrets she has not been telling him. He realizes, this is not the same woman he thought he loved. So, while she is stuck in the room, Ben is on his own at the resort. He meets another woman one night and they start spending more and more time together. Ben starts to fall in love with this new woman.I really enjoyed this movie and judging by the reaction from the rest of the theater they enjoyed it too. I think we received the unedited uncut version of the film. It was about 2 hours long and there were some parts that I think will be cut before it is released. It really was a funny movie. There were plenty of funny one liners in it. Guys and girls were laughing so it isnt just one of those guy movies that girls shake their heads at. However, it is similar to the other work that Stiller has done so if you dont really like that, then you may not like this.I may have to make a post of movies I want to see similar to like what David Lithman did, there should be some good ones coming out pretty soon. Maybe when I find more time. I need to get to bed. But, go see the movie you should enjoy it.
Always cool to go to an advanced screening
Nice short review. I wasn’t sure if I was going to see The Heartbreak Kid - but after reading this review I think I’m going to give it a shot.
Its hard to do movie reviews because I am afraid I will ruin it for anyone who wants to see it. Thats another reason I never liked book reports in school, in case someone wanted to read the book I didnt want to give it all away.
