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.

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 David Fear Time Out The original's premise has been stripped of anything to do with upward mobility, and except for one shot involving a Prince Albert, the Farrellys' signature shock humor is largely absent. Rated: 1/6 Jan 18, 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.

acsdoug D I think the original 1972 movie is a better film, but this one is good too. There are plenty of laughs. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/10/25 Full Review STEPHANIE L This is my favorite Ben Stiller movie! It is so stinking funny 😂 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/04/25 Full Review Audience Member Don't listen to the reviews- they are probably all too young to have any fun without being offended. If you liked Something about Mary= you'll like this. Funny story, cool concept, decent sophomore humor, it's a fun movie to watch, though predictable. I WILL be keeping this in my collection. Enjoy. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/12/25 Full Review Mike V He waited all his life to get married. Too bad he didn't wait another week. The Heartbreak Kid is a 2007 American romantic dark comedy film directed by the Farrelly brothers 💔 Not bad, but not my favourite either 😉 It’s ok, but I feel mixed about this one 😉 I’d recommend it if you like this genre, but if not then probably give it a miss 👍🏼👎🏼 Eddie, the 40-year-old confirmed bachelor finally says "I do" to the beautiful and sexy Lila. But during their honeymoon in Mexico, the woman of his dreams turns out to be a total nightmare, and the guy who could never pull the trigger realizes he’s jumped the gun. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/08/25 Full Review Drew F 10/10 Movie smashed. I haven’t laughed that hard in years. Went in completely blind to the story and cracked up from beginning to end. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/24/25 Full Review thiago s Filme bacana, o roteiro é bacaninha, o filme tem cenas mais ou menos de comédia, a história é bacaninha, o elenco é bacana e alguns ajudam a melhorar o filme, mas o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores.
