Movie Reviews of Envy (Widescreen Edition)Movie Review: NOT BAD...I can't figure out why all the hate? Summary: 5 Stars
"ENVY"
You know...I figured this movie was going to be aweful. I mean the reviewers are dragging this movie through the mud like it's the sin of sins. Well, I've concluded the negative reviews are not at all justified.
What ENVY is, is a very tame movie. There's very little cursing, there's NO half naked women, there's NO gang violence, there's NOT any crude humor...and so forth and so on... In fact, there's no deliberate mischievous behavior of any sort. What there is, is a story about 2 best friends, their wives(whom they're both faithful to), and their children. I was shocked while watching this movie because I don't remember one commercial about two families that are close or anything like that(not saying there weren't any, I just don't remember getting that impression about this movie). Perhaps it was bad marketing, perhaps I just wasn't paying attention, perhaps it's a little of both? Nontheless, I feel this could have easily been a great family movie if they'd just taken out a couple of the bad words and focused on the family and children a little more. By the way, the cursing is very tame compared to todays standard. I still wouldn't let my little kids watch it though.
There's a great underliying story here in ENVY and I think it's a shame that no one is seeing that. If you like uplifting comedies, give it a try. Heck, I don't think you'll have to pay much for it since it's getting quartered like a theif in the dark ages. Unjustly, I might add.
Summary of Envy (Widescreen Edition)When one of them becomes mindblowingly quite literally stinking rich by selling an invention a pair of life-long best friends & neighbors (they even work at the same company) finds their bond breaking as the other guy start to go crazy .. With envy. Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 05/01/2007 Starring: Ben Stiller Rachel Weisz Run time: 100 minutes Rating: Pg13
