      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Despite some amiable performances, The Heartbreak Kid is neither as daring nor as funny as the Farrelly Brothers' earlier films.

      alan g Avoid at all costs. Only redeeming factor is the nude sex scene at the start. Best breasts in the movie. Then shut it off. Pale immitatiin of tge Charles Grodin original. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/11/24 Full Review Audience Member Predictable but funny! The cast is fantastic. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/28/23 Full Review Test T I liked the beginning of this movie, but as it progressed from San Francisco to Mexico, it started to become crude and unfunny. I liked the locations, and the overall look of the movie is bright and upbeat with plenty of sunshine. Comedically though, it's a real mixed bag. Some of the setup's are good, but it doesn't seem to recognise when it crosses the line of good taste. It's a shame because with more care, it could have been a much better film. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/29/23 Full Review Ryan B This is absolutely hilarious. Not sure why it didn't get better reviews. Recommended for a good laugh. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/22/23 Full Review EW H Funny, quirky, odd, and funky at times. The deeper personality types of some of the characters are actually pretty interesting and make for some funny scenes. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/28/23 Full Review Giorgio S I tought I was not going to like it since I saw one rom com and I hated it and even if they ate all the same this was actually fun and Ben Stiller is good in it. Except everything while watching the finale I was going to kill myself since I want Ben and Michelle to get together. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/29/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Ben Kenigsberg Time Out Rated: 2/5 Nov 17, 2011 Full Review Richard Corliss TIME Magazine If The Heartbreak Kid doesn't go totally wrong, its big problem is that doesn't really go anywhere. It just sort of lies there, like dumb Lila on the beach, waiting to turn gold. Aug 12, 2008 Full Review Alonso Duralde MSNBC [The] 2007 remake delivers a lot of laughs despite the fact we're clearly supposed to root for and feel sorry for the cad ... no matter how squirmy or awful his actions. Rated: 2/5 May 1, 2008 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins This film's twist is to add graphic nudity, habitual expletives, and an update to the believability of it all, which formerly required more of a suspension of disbelief. Rated: 6/10 Nov 24, 2020 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com This mean-spirited and surprisingly unfunny Stiller/Farrelly teaming is truly heartbreaking. Rated: 1.5/4.0 Sep 10, 2020 Full Review Micheal Compton Bowling Green Daily News Lila's character is forced to do and say things that are so crude and insensitive that I found myself feeling sorry for Akerman as an actress.
