I hate to start by saying `The Heartbreak Kid' is an extremely weak film and a huge disappointment. From the trailer this looks to be a typical funny Ben Stiller film, but you quickly realise that the best scenes are shown in the trailer and furthermore they are less funny when in the context of the film! There are unnecessarily crass moments in this film and rather than making you laugh, they make you double take and question how appropriate they are. There is also use of the `C' word which was completely out of place, out of keeping with the feel of the film and completely inappropriate. Generally I have no problem with crass jokes, or even use of the `C' word, but only in context and particular genres of film, these elements were out of step with what is marketed as a light hearted comedy. Sadly to say, after seeing Stiller in other funny films, this film has very little to offer and although it raises a chuckle in places it left me bored by the end and waiting for it's conclusion. Worth a look if you're a HUGE fan of Ben Stiller, otherwise you can give it a miss and not lose any sleep.

Product description
Single and indecisive, Eddie (Ben Stiller) begins dating the incredibly sexy and seemingly fabulous Lila. Upon the urging of his father and best friend, Eddie proposes to her after only a week, fearing this may be his last chance at love, marriage, and happiness. However, while on their honeymoon in sunny Mexico, Lila reveals her true beyond-awful nature and Eddie meets Miranda, the woman he realizes to be his actual soul mate. Eddie must keep his new, increasingly horrid wife at bay as he attempts to woo the girl of his dreams.

This is a very funny film that also has some very sweet moments. It is a light hearted film that has some great funny moments. Only annoying bit is Stillers Dad, he shouts all the time same as he did in King of Queens

One of his best- Ben's dad is brilliant and this is like one of those bad dreams that goes wrong and keeps getting worse, with falling over funny results. Loved this film
