Eddie (Ben Stiller<\/a>) has reached 40 and single. Unfortunately for him, his happily married (=wife-obliging) best friend Mac (Rob Corddry) thinks he will end of alone and miserable and his father Doc (Jerry Stiller, the real life father of actor Ben Stiller) is not happy with how many women his son is sleeping with. In\u00a0 between all the trouble they are getting him and his ex-fianc\u00e9 getting married, he happens to meet a gorgeous blonde by chance. Her name is Lila (Malin Akerman<\/a>), she is sweet, down-to-earth and seems like the perfect woman.<\/p>\n

Eddie ends up marrying Lila. It is not like he could do any better. But during their honeymoon, he starts noticing that Lila is irritable, unstable and well, is a little nuts. It is during the honeymoon that Eddie meets a beautiful brunette by the name of Miranda (Michelle Monaghan<\/a>). She is there for a family vacation. She is fun, easy-going and totally sane. And she seems like she is into him. Of course she doesn\u2019t know that Eddie is married. So Eddie\u2019s \u201cromantic\u201d holiday is spent between handling Lila and trying to spend as much time as he can with Miranda. But Miranda is bound to find out any time\u2026<\/p>\n

The Heartbreak Kid is not your typical romantic comedy. First of all, it is not exactly romantic enough to be even called a romcom. It is a comedy with some romantic moments attached and the only reason romantic scenes are only there to build the ground for more comedy. But you can\u2019t exactly label this one as a sole comedy because well\u2026While it is a funny movie, it is not hilarious all the time. It is fun\u00a0 and certainly easy to watch but you may not exactly pull stomach muscles from laughing. It is rightfully R-rated. After all, Lila is playing a character who knows a lot of weird sex positions but she doesn\u2019t know what missionary means\u2026 And then there is Edie\u2019s old dad who talks about p**** a lot. Yep, he uses the exact word.<\/p>\n

This movie is directed by the Farrelly Brothers; Bobby and Peter Farrelly and co-written by them. The script is based on the 1972\u2019s The Heartbreak Kid. <\/a><\/p>\n

You are probably familiar with at least some of the work of the brothers: \u201cThere is something about Mary\u201d,”Me, myself and Irene”, Stuck on You, Fever Pitch, Shallow Hal\u2026<\/p>\n

The Heartbreak Kid is an R-rated, sort of romcom with the sensibility of Me, myself and Irene<\/a>. But I have to say, I loved the ending.<\/p>\n

5.9 on IMDB. A 6 from me.<\/p>\n

Buy this film on Amazon.<\/a><\/p>\n
