This film's twist is to add graphic nudity, habitual expletives, and an update to the believability of it all, which formerly required more of a suspension of disbelief.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Nov 24, 2020

This mean-spirited and surprisingly unfunny Stiller/Farrelly teaming is truly heartbreaking.

| Original Score: 1.5/4.0 | Sep 10, 2020

Lila's character is forced to do and say things that are so crude and insensitive that I found myself feeling sorry for Akerman as an actress.

| Original Score: 2/10 | Feb 9, 2011

A miserable pathetic mean spirited effort on the Farrelly brothers...

| May 15, 2010

The dumbing down of the central joke just heightens its nastiness

| Aug 27, 2009

...largely gross, mean-spirited, frustrating, and ugly.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Dec 15, 2008

| Original Score: C+ | Oct 18, 2008

If The Heartbreak Kid doesn't go totally wrong, its big problem is that doesn't really go anywhere. It just sort of lies there, like dumb Lila on the beach, waiting to turn gold.

[The] 2007 remake delivers a lot of laughs despite the fact we're clearly supposed to root for and feel sorry for the cad ... no matter how squirmy or awful his actions.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 1, 2008

Bobby and Peter Farrelly don't bring any fresh insight or relevance to their remake of The Heartbreak Kid. Mainly, they've taken a decent comedy and turned it into a...decent comedy.

If you watch this film, don't expect much and you may not be too disappointed. Now there's a ringing endorsement for ya!

| Original Score: 5/10 | Feb 1, 2008

The original's premise has been stripped of anything to do with upward mobility, and except for one shot involving a Prince Albert, the Farrellys' signature shock humor is largely absent.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/6 | Jan 18, 2008

It's disappointing to see a comic talent like Ben Stiller slum it in these studio-grade romantic comedies.

| Jan 15, 2008

It's like watching the younger brother of There's Something About Mary: it's brash and talks too loud, it's a bit snotty and it so wants to be as cool as its older sibling.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 1, 2007

Beyond its contagious, wacky humour, the film has a very sweet heart

| Nov 17, 2007

The elements with which the Farrellys transcend mere gross-out -- pacing, inspired and quirky performances, good writing with an underlying heart -- are missing here, which exposes the underlying creepiness at the heart of the film.

| Nov 15, 2007

The cast is pitch perfect, with Stiller adding another notable character to his resumé.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Oct 25, 2007

Hard-R Farrelly bros. remake offers crude laughs.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 22, 2007
