Envy
Dir: Barry Levinson
2004
*
A fairly tiresome and ill-conceived film. The story had legs, they just didn't run with it and I also feel they were terribly let down by their props department. I would have thought the budget was bigger considering the stars and the director. Jack Black has made a fortune and he buys a plastic mansion? It all gets a little too cartoon-like and Stiller and Black aren't exactly pulling their weight either. Barry Levinson is a strange fish, this is definitely one of his worst and a huge blotch on his CV.
