Thank you Malin Akerman for playing Stiller's wife perfectly. I cried with laughter!! Super relaxing with a good dose of humor... no punchline though.

I'm realizing that the Farrelly brothers' style doesn't resonate with me. Their humor isn't bad, but I don't quite understand what moral values they're trying to advocate for here. A family that doesn't work? Their entertainment often seems to prioritize humor over other values, like the portrayal of drinking before driving. Especially when there are crude jokes intended to shock or provoke laughter. When they try to moralize, it usually doesn't work out well, and it lacks that Sandler-esque charm.

It's amazing how low someone with the comedic potential of Ben Stiller can fall at times. The Heartbreak Kid is really weak, trying to pass itself off as a cute romantic comedy with lots of intelligent humour. But the opposite is true, the film doesn't hesitate to use the most turbulent and, in the second half, the most embarrassing means to make the viewer laugh, hiding behind Ben Stiller's torn expression, which I felt very sorry for indeed. Mainly because by participating in such a blatant piece of trash he’s making clear his gradual retreat from the A-list. Really a class weaker than Sandler's Just Go With It, there the romantic and amorous atmosphere well combined with the humour was at least felt, whereas here...
