Film: Envy

[Petersko]

Tonight, I did something I haven't done in at least fifteen years. I walked out of a movie before the end.

Knowing in advance that this movie was tanking in the reviews, and armed with cheap corporate movie passes, we said, "Hey - it's Stiller and Black. It's got to at least have the occasional laugh."

What a truly awful piece of cinema.

For those who said that Matrix 2 & 3 sucked - and I was one of them (2 only, never saw 3) - go see this one to gain a new appreciation as to where the bottom of filmmaking really is.

One of the reviews that I read about this said that there is some comfort to be had in the fact that the two good actors (black and stiller) would never do anything worse.
hahaha, that's fuggin classic

I saw it on Saturday. While it wasn't the worst movie I've ever seen, it just layed there. I kept waiting for something funny to happen and....nothing.

 

[drrty grrl]

yikes. the previews make it look really funny & i love ben stiller & jack black. maybe i'll wait until it comes out @ blockbuster! i heard on the radio though that christopher walken was hilarious!!! yes? no?

If it produces one laugh, that would make it a better movie than Matrix II.

That said, thanks for the warning, Petersko.

He's a candle in the black of night, when what you really need is a lighthouse.
