Envy ***

This movie is a lot funnier than everyone said it was. Jack Black and Ben work at the same place that makes something. Jack is not as good or important as Ben, but one day he invents some spray that makes poo disappear into thin air called Vapoorize. He offers to give half to Ben, but he says no, and Jack becomes rich. He still lives right across the street from Ben though. So Ben gets jealous, and does something to Jack's stuff, and then he meets the guy from Suicide Kings and Pulp Ficiton who had the watch up his butt. He helps him cover it up, and he is the funniest part of the movie but not even in the commercials. They get into some adventures that are almost as great as I Love Lucy stuff. If you like that kind of thing, then you might laugh a couple of times during the middle of this movie.


There is some guy who sings songs throughout the movie, and the songs are about the movie sort of like Something About Mary, but not always, because the Four Tops sing in French or Italian or something once. The DVD makes it sound like there is a featurette about the movie, but there is a just a page of words to read, and I stopped it. So I give this movie 3 out of 5 stars because it is very funny, but sort of predictable in places and a little too wacky someimtes.
