The Heartbreak Kid



Finally an R-rated romantic comedy truly worth watching! The star studded cast of the film include names like; Ben Stiller, Jerry Stiller, Rob Corddry and funny man Carlos Mencia. The plot takes place around a middle aged, San Francisco native Eddie Cantrow (Ben Stiller). Eddie is single and is tired of hearing about it from his immoral father "Doc" played by Jerry Stiller. After realizing he is too picky he is persuaded by his dad and Mac (Rob Corddry), a whipped husband, to look for a life mate. He then runs in completely by chance to what at the time seemed like the woman of his dreams Lila (Malin Akerman). After a short period of dating and a difficult situation Eddie decides to take the plunge. Shortly after things start to go south. Eddie gets second thoughts after a couple of "incidents" during his honeymoon. To make matters more difficult he runs into a charming southern woman Miranda(Michelle Monaghan). After spending time with her he decides that she is the one for him. This is where the real adventure begins for Eddie. All in all a great entertaining film that includes great humor along with a lot of romance.
