Jack Black + Ben Stiller + Barry Levinson = Envy. Looks funny too.


First-time screenwriter, veteran director, and a cast that also inlcudes Christopher Walken, Rachel Weisz and Amy Poehler...count me in.

Have a look at the trailer and tell me it don't look funny.

Envy comes out on August 15th courtesy of Dreamworks (in the U.S.) and Columbia Tri-Star (basically everywhere else).

I've seen plenty of Jack Black and Ben Stiller flicks that looked great out of the chute and then kinda stunk on arrival. I sense something better here.

I always give Ben Stiller the benefit of the doubt. This looks like it could be a winner. Plus Chris as a crazy old prophet of revenge should be worth the price of admission.

Yeah, looked pretty good. Still, I can't seem to get passed the fact that the plot resembles the one used in "Splitting Heirs" with Eric Idle. This on looked funnier though...

I concur. Ben Stiller + Jack Black + Christopher Walken =
me in line opening night. Even if it were directed by Michael Bay.

I consider myself pretty picky in terms of what I find funny, but this looks hilarious!
