Envy
4,709
Comedy
When one of them (Black) becomes mindblowingly, quite-literally stinking rich by selling an invention, a pair of life-long best friends and neighbors (they even work at the same company) finds their bond breaking as the other guy (Stiller) starts to go crazy with... envy.

United States | The Hollywood Reporter | "The laughs tend to come in fits and starts, built around individual set pieces rather than being generated organically out of the storytelling." | NEU |
United States | USA Today | "'Envy' is in the unenviable position of saddling two of Hollywood's most talented comic actors with a script that doesn't do them justice." | NEU |
United States | Chicago Sun-Times | "Black somehow feels reigned in; shaved and barbered, he's lost his anarchic passion and is merely playing a comic role instead of transforming it into a personal mission" | NEU |
United States | Los Angeles Times | "A woeful little comedy that runs out of steam shortly after its opening sequence." | NEG |
United States | New York Post | "There are a few chuckles here and there, and there are odd wisps of cleverness in the script by Steve Adams, but for the most part, 'Envy' is a film that doesn't know where it's going" | NEG |
