Not as good as I expected

I never saw the original Heartbreak Kid, so I didn't know what to expect, but I like most Farrelly Bros. movies and thought this looked pretty funny in the trailers. There were some funny parts, but the direction was kind of... Full review
Probably one of Ben Stillers worst movie.

I love Ben Stiller, he is a very good actor and I will always have a bias towards him. If it was any onther comedic actor I probably would have given it a C-, but Stiller pulls off his role and... Full review

I feel so bad that I threw away my money buying this dvd. I thought it would be a ROFL movie because Stiller was in it, but watching the movie all the way through proved otherwise. It wasn't as funny as... Full review

I am stunned that some of the Yahoo reviewers act like they went to see "Gone with the Wind". This movie, as most of Ben Stiller's projects, are made for a laugh, a laugh is never cheap, jokes never get old,... Full review
Not one of Ben Stiller's best, but still funny

This is somewhat of a muted cross of 'Something about Mary' and 'Along Came Polly'. It is a well worn example of Ben Stiller films as well as the Farrelly Brothers. While certainly not up to the aforementioned films in laughs,... Full review
If you like Stiller and the Farrelly Bros, SEE IT!

I saw the sneak preview Monday night and I almost peed myself. The crowd was exclusively college students so if you're in that 18-24 range and aren't afraid of some crude humor, then this movie is for YOU. Even if you... Full review

The movie is sick and full of lame stupid jokes that aren't funny. It's basically about a loser who gets married. On his honeymoon he is cheating on his wife the whole time, but the person he is cheating with doesn't... Full review

now Mary was a great film and unique, whereas The Heartbreak Kid didn't have....The lovemaking scenes particularly are funny.....There are some good laugh out loud moments in this film, usually between Eddie and his off-the-wall wife.....I enjoy Ben Stiller films, they usually are of a good quality..... ...

Of course, because the film is so contrived it's sick, he doesn't tell her that he's married... Yawn* And that's the crux of the "The Heartbreak Kid"--it's just such a well worn, predictable story that it's hardly ever fresh. ... Full Review

The Heartbreak Kid is best described in a single word, comfortable. The quality of the blu-ray technology was fantastic in this film. These special features are almost as fun as the film itself and well worth viewing. ... Full Review

Those who remember being gleefully grossed out by "Mary's" relentless piling-on of vile effects will find this remake of the 1972 Elaine May comedy to be less profligate with the glandular secretion gags. You're either comfortable with their squirmy, wormy species of comedy or you'd just as soon look away until their movies are over. ... Full Review
