The Heartbreak Kid

Point I Fell Asleep: ACTUALLY STAYED AWAKE
Location: Home
Time I Started Movie: Afternoon
IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0408839

When I started this movie, I thought it had no shot of keeping me awake since I was still partially hung over and tired. Then the credits started rolling and I saw that it was a Farrelly brothers movie, and I love the Farrelly brothers. Have I mentioned that "Dumb & Dumber" is my favorite movie? I loved "Me, Myself, and Irene" too. Oh, and "Something About Mary" is a classic. Ben Stiller was in this one, and I loved him in "Along Came Polly" and the Focker movies (not so much "Dodgeball" though). So the movie had a chance of keeping me awake, and that it did.

So 15 minutes into the movie, I immediately think to myself - this is literally the sequel to Mary. The actress in it is a spitting image of Cameron Diaz with the blonde hair, big wide smile, and the voice sounds exactly the same too. Then you start to wonder why Cameron didn't do this movie. And then by the 30 minute mark, you realize why. The Farrelly brothers are known to be really raunchy with their movies, and this movie was no different. I'm guessing Cameron didn't want to do the nude scenes. Anyhow, so you're thinking the movie is going to be about Ben and Cameron-clone, but it takes a crazy turn. I'm not going to ruin the rest of the movie for you, but if you're a Farrelly brothers fan, then this is a must-see.
