Movie Review
Grade: C
It seemed like a sure bet when two of the most popular comic actors in America teamed up, but Envy sat on the shelf for nearly two years as Dreamworks struggled to find a place for its poorly-received comedy. Finally, in early 2004 it limped into theaters - and, amazingly, it isn't nearly as bad as I expected. Read the full movie review

I would agree with most of the original review of this film. It does become very slow in the middle and you could really tell that the ending was poorly done. I do want to give huge credit to Christopher Walken. Because of him, this film easily has the potential of being one of those qoatable comedy's that over time will catch on with his fans as well as the fans of Jack Black and Ben Stiller. With this movie, you just need to be in the mood to laugh. I also want to commend the camera work in the opening of the film and yes, the soundtrack is, I believe, a high point of the movie. Overall, I mostly enjoyed it.
