Amazon.com:
Envy is a funny movie, but it's more funny peculiar than funny ha-ha, so enjoyment is purely a matter of personal taste. When Nick (Jack Black) invents an aerosol spray that makes dog-poop disappear (think of the boon to society!), he reaps a fortune overnight and sends his friend, co-worker and neighbor Tim (Ben Stiller) into a tailspin of simmering envy, since he had no faith in Nick's get-rich-quick scheme and declined his offer of 50-50 partnership. What makes this potentially raucous plot peculiar is that it sets up the situation and proceeds to ignore its most comedic implications, opting instead for a sub-plot involving bows, arrows, a dead horse, and an eccentric vagrant (Christopher Walken, offering reliable comic relief) who coaches Tim on the joys of neighborly blackmail. All the while, Envy suffers a comedic identity crisis, giving Black and Stiller a few good laughs (along with their on-screen wives, played by Rachel Weisz and Saturday Night Live's Amy Poehler) while director Barry Levinson struggles to reach a quirky balance of morality play and blue-collar farce. He never quite gets there. --Jeff Shannon

The good: The satire of suburban life and all of its banality. It does this a lot in the early going and it is spot-on and funny. Also, Black is good enough. There are enough laughs to keep you going.
The bad: The movie bogs down with the plot and there are things that just don't add up, that seem forced, and that strain credulity.
The ugly: I'm not sure why Christopher Walken is even in the movie. His character serves as a distraction and an unnecessary scenery chewing waste of time. ... Read More

Black comedy in which suburban husband Ben Stiller becomes jealous of his best friend and neighbour Jack Black when a product he invents makes him rich and successful. A fun enough movie but with the exception of a surprising plot twist towards the end not much happens in this film. Still, a good enough vehicle for Black and Stiller but I feel that this comedy might have worked better if it had been a little darker in tone
Rating:  -
People expecting an uproarious Black/Stiller flick, of typical vein, are going to be disapointed, as it is short on knee-jerk laughs, or even terrific comedy scetch, in general. Instead, what we have here is an interesting piece that tries to rely upon the story and the character acting. Unfortunately, the director is sub-par here.
Luckily, it still has its moments, and should go down as a cult-favorite, at least. But, no, this is certainly not a crowd pleaser. It falls way short of ... Read More

This movie wasn't that bad. It was a decent movie, with some funny moments. It is well worth $5 at Wal-Mart, If your like me and are a fan of Jack Black and or Ben Stiller, then this is a must own for your collection.
