Synopsis
Sensible, hardworking Tim is climbing the managerial ladder, while daydreamer Nick can't seem to stay focused on the tasks at hand. But all of that changes when one of Nick's seemingly hairbrained ideas--a spray that makes dog poop disappear--takes off, making him filthy rich. Rather than leaving the neighborhood and his best friend, Nick turns his home into a mansion and his property into a veritable amusement park. Tim, meanwhile, laments his decision not to invest in Nick's invention early in the game, and his life begins to fall apart as envy takes over. This dark comedy directed by Barry Levinson (AVALON, TIN MEN) also stars Amy Pohler and Rachel Weisz. But it's Christopher Walken who is the real scene-stealer as a bizarre hippie-bum who befriends Tim when he's down and out, only adding to the mayhem.

4.0 out of 5 stars Do you ever watch your hand !?, 22 Feb 2005
By G. Gibson "lyricist112" (Hampshire, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I must admit, i didnt think this was one of Ben Stiller better films. Jack Black was definately the funniest character in the movie. One of the scenes that sticks to mind is when Jack & Ben are driving home from work and Jack starts talking about how his hand didnt seem to be a part of him the whole day. His hand kept sitting next to him, following him around everywhere like a mutant sidekick...this had me in stitches..but maybe thats just me. View it and see what you think. Its funny and lighthearted.

3.0 out of 5 stars Va-poo-rise! - Good Idea For Plot Basis, 4 Sep 2005
Jack Black and Ben Stiller team up in this one! Best friends who everyday drive to the same job in the same car. Until one of them gets an idea that turns them into a millionaire! Now the green eyed monster has risen and what lies in it's wake is betrayal lies and dead horses!

It's a good movie and funny in a lot of places. Black and Stiller make a great team Jack Black is his usual crazy self and Stiller is his mumbly awkward hillarious guy! Also in the film are Christopher Walken and Rachel Wiesz who in turn are extremely funny!

3.0 out of 5 stars Another Stiller flop (SPOILERS), 12 Feb 2005
By Hedgeman (Newcastle, England) - See all my reviews
Not as bad as Zoolander, not as good as Meet the Parents.
In fact, Stiller isn't even the best actor in this film. Jack Black takes this title, as an average guy who has the idea for "Vapoorise", a spray which makes dog faeces simply disappear.
Working at the same company, Stiller dismisses the idea as a "dream", and when Black asks him for $2000 to help fund research, he declines. He is gobsmacked though, when a few months later Black comes up with a working spray. He makes millions of course, and the whole middle part of the film is about Stiller's envy at his best friend's fortune.
The funniest part of the film is when Stiller gets drunk and accidentally shoots Black's beautiful white horse with a bow and arrow, then buries the evidence in his recently excavated pool.
This is a feel-good comedy, and the slapstick humour is best watched with children. If you do not have kids, I would advise against buying.
