Plot: When 40-year-old San Francisco bachelor Eddie Cantrow (Ben Stiller) attends the wedding of his ex-fiancée -- and is seated at a singles table full of children -- he realizes maybe he's been too picky in his love life, and it's time to settle down. Fortunately, he doesn't have to compromise his standards when he meets Lila (Malin Akerman), a funny, attractive blond who does environmental research for a living. Lila's company wants to relocate her to Europe, but only because she's single -- they don't force married couples to uproot themselves. So Eddie hastily proposes to her, even though they've only been dating for six weeks. But the moment they exchange vows, Eddie starts to notice Lila's rough edges and annoying habits, which had remained hidden underneath her perfect exterior. Their Cabo San Lucas honeymoon gets off to a rough start full of tuneless pop singalongs and surprising revelations about Lila's job and her past. Things only get worse for a confused Eddie when he meets Miranda (Michelle Monaghan), a Midwesterner in Cabo for a family reunion -- and starts to wish he'd held out just a little bit longer. The Heartbreak Kid is Peter and Bobby Farrelly's remake of the 1972 Elaine May comedy of the same name, starring Charles Grodin. ~ Derek Armstrong, All Movie Guide

This is a good Ben Stiller movie with several shocking parts and lots of laughs. Malin Akerman is one of the hottest actresses around yet this movie almost ruined it for me, not for bad acting but the character she plays is psycho. All in all good entertaining movie and addition to comedy collection.

Not everything with Ben Stiller in it is going to be good. Even Jerry Stiller is bad in this movie. The whole movie is in bad taste and I wouldn't waste my time. I only rented it because it was filmed in SF where I used to live. Other than that...don't bother.

One of the WORST Movies I've Ever Seen
Added 8/16/2009

Since Amazon doesn't have a zero star rating, I can only give it one star. PLEASE don't waste your money and time on this horrible remake. You can still find copies of the 1972 original starring Charles Grodin and Jeannie Berlin -- a very different movie that's intelligently written and acted with a completely different storyline. This new version belongs in the toilet.

Not Terrible, But A One-Timer Only
Added 8/9/2009

Before anything, I wouldn't call this film "bad", but it's definitely nothing original nor is it all that exciting. I would reserve it for a one-time rental deal unless you're a die hard Stiller fan. It was nice to see Jerry Stiller working alongside his son, however, his presence doesn't make up for the fact that this is a "C" film at best. I'm not trying to be too discriminating here, but the fact is that the movie wasn't all that good. There's nothing wrong with watching it, because it's a way to pass the time. I just wouldn't pay full price purchasing this particular film. Not good, not bad. Just average. If you're looking for a great Ben Stiller film, buy "Meet The Parents".
