Envy review

Envy is a little-known comedy with legends Jack Black and Ben Stiller. Black plays Nick Vanderpark, while Stiller portrays Tim Dingman. The two work together in an office. While Tim is succeeding, Nick’s performance at the office is failing. Nick is never focused on his work because of his get-rich-quick schemes he is always coming up with. Finally, Nick actually comes up with a successful product and it’s an instant hit. Nick becomes wealthy, while Tim is left in the dust. He becomes extremely jealous of Nick’s new-found lifestyle and is determined to corrupt it.
The movie boasts a known cast list with names including Jack Black, Ben Stiller, Christopher Walken, Amy Poehler, and Rachel Weisz. All of these comedic geniuses help to create a funny movie that’s sure to be remembered. The movie does have some slow parts, but is a sure-hit for when you’re in a slap-happy mood.
Envy has laugh-out-loud moments and a raw, uncut feel to it. It boomed in the box office, but is one of my favorites. Anyone who likes Jack Black or Ben Stiller should check out this movie. While watching this movie, you have to have an open mind. While it is not the greatest, Envy is still pretty good on its own terms.
