I don't really like many Barry Levinson movies, and the last two Ben Stiller movies I saw were terrible. I don't remember seeing Christopher Walken in the preview so I am assuming he has small part. By the way, Cristopher Walken is in Man on Fire, which comes out this weekend.

Walken is mentioned in the synopsis and seems like he has a decent part, at least larger than his Joe Dirt part.

Man on Fire looks good, but Kill Bill vol2 comes first!

Btw, researching this movie further, it seems that it was ready last spring but has been delayed since then! So it probably isn't very good. Which two Ben Stiller movies are you talking about, btw? Starsky & Hutch, Along Came Polly, Duplex?

[Hakeem]

yeah, they bumped from last year and they even thought of releasing it direct to video :eek:

plus both, jack and ben look really bad in this movie (N)

[Shoot2Wound]

i'll go see it because i think Jack Black is hilarious.

The last two Ben Stiller movies I saw were Starsky and Hutch, and Duplex.

I also think Jack Black is funny, plus how could I not see a movie that involves a product called "Va-poo-rize?"

The reason they delay a movie release or consider straight to video isn't always because a movie sucks. It could be that the actors put out some bad films prior to the release, or world events conflicted with the subject matter, or that the movie companies thought that the genre was already being over-represented. I'm glad they finally got their heads screwed on straight since I've been waiting for this movie since I saw the first preview back at the beginning of 2003.

anything with Jack Black is automatically officially hilarious.

He couldn't save "Orange County." His parts were funny, but the movie itself sucked.

[Shoot2Wound]

i think the part with him and the "secretary" outside the burning admin building was hilarious.

I just came back from Envy... what a bad movie :(

really, dont waste yout ime and money on this. is really bad

[GrumpaEd]

The part played by Jack Black in this movie was that of an extremely subdued Jack Black. His past movies have had him slaphappy pratfalling yoyo. I think this is his move to more serious mature rolls.

"Envy" was okay on the whole. But Christopher Walken was GREAT! He was very funny. Although his was a smaller part, he stole the show. I doubt they scripted half of what he said. Yet his endless ramblings kept me in stitches.

i actually loved OC and i thought jack's part didnt belong in the movie :confused:
