Envy - review

Tim (Ben Stiller) & Nick (Jack Black) are best friends. As well as being neighbours, they also work together and spend time with each other’s families.


As factory workers, boredom sets in easily and Nick is forever coming up with schemes to try and make big money fast, but when his latest idea is accepted and ends up making him a millionaire, Tim is kicking himself that he turned down the chance to be involved.

With Nick and his family enjoying the high life across the street, Tim can only watch as his best friend enjoys his success and when he is fired due to jealously, he doesn’t have the heart to tell his family meaning he spends his days in a bar drowning his sorrows.

After an encounter with a strange man in the bar, Tim is encouraged to shake things up a bit with Nick’s success, but when his plan goes wrong ending up in the death of Nick’s horse Corky, Tim is forced into hiding his guilt – and the body – from his best friend while trying to pretend he’s not affected by the change in their relationship.

Co-starring Christopher Walken, Rachel Weisz & Amy Poehler, this movie was average at best.

With only a few laugh out loud moments, I wouldn’t consider it a comedy worth watching.
