The Heartbreak Kid a
comedy remake of the 1972 film of the same name directed by the Faralley
Brothers who are better know for the hit There's Something About Mary with the
infamous "hair gel" scene.
In short, Eddie is a single 40 year old who is still indecisive about taking the
plunge. With the urging of his father and best friend, Eddie finally proposes
to a girl, Lila, after only 6 weeks. Hence begins the honeymoon when Eddie begins
to discover things he hadn't known about Lila beforehand and starts to have
doubts about his marriage. Coupled with eyecandy, Miranda, he met in Mexico,
Eddie realizes his destiny may actually be Miranda...
If you are looking for a really hilarious time, the Heartbreak Kid will
probably disappoint you. Much of the humor was in the first half hour of the
show. After which, the only real laughter that you get is mainly from
Eddie's father, Doc, who interestingly enough is played by Ben Stiller's real father.
Not to mention the 4 mexican dudes who seem to appear at the most
"appropriate" time to play their mexican tunes.
Michelle Monaghan plays Miranda, the eye candy of the show who does not need
to resort to comedic lines to make an impression to the audience. Malin
Akerman who plays Lila, is the other girl who will eventually be heartbroken by
the Heartbreak Kid. Eva Longoria also makes a cameo in this show.
Overall, I think the Faralley Brothers may have lost their touch in making the
audience laugh as hard as before. I would still reckon ripplevoxers to go check
out the show themselves as the show still has some element of humor. Personally
this show gets 2.8 out of 5 heartbreaks.
