The Heartbreak Kid

The Heartbreak Kid

Who's in it: Ben Stiller, Malin Akerman, Michelle Monaghan

What's it about: Eddie(Stiller) has never been married and is always scared of the commitment. He meets Lila(Akerman) on the street one day and then a relationship soon follows. They get married within a few months time and are on their honeymoon in México. He meets Miranda(Monaghan) on the beach one night after Lila got a really bad sunburn and won't come out of the resort room. They fall in love, but when he tells her that he's married everything goes to pieces. He gets a divorce from Lila only to find that Miranda has already gotten married.

What I Think: Ben Stiller is one of my favourite actors of all time and I love his comic routine. I still felt like he was a Focker in this movie because he was just always doing and saying the wrong things. Monaghan has come up in a few movies that I've watched recently and she just never seems to get anything good. Something always goes wrong for her. Akerman did a great 'loony' wife and I loved her. She's drop dead gorgeous.
