ben stiller makes two kinds of comedies: good ones and bad ones. unfortunately, it looks like the heartbreak kid falls into the latter category. it seems like that's been the story with his latest movies, which should be a sign that people may be tiring of his act. i'm not saying that he won't make any more good comedies, just that his recent movies have been more or less the same [read: unoriginal, uninspired, formulaic, etc].as far the heartbreak kid goes, the premise is supposedly about ben stiller realizing that his newlywed wife is not the person he expected her to be. apparently she is so neurotic that it results in ben stiller being trapped in some latin country [i want to say it's mexico, and if that's the case, i fear for his digestive system]. i'm sure the makers of this movie thought that hilarity would ensue, but i'm afraid that it won't [at least, not enough times to make it worthwhile].
prognosis : 6/10
