Comedy sensations Ben Stiller and Jack Black lead an all-star cast including Rachel Weisz (The Mummy Returns) and Christopher Walken (Catch Me If You Can), in Envy, a hilarious comedy from Academy Award winning director Barry Levinson (Rain Man). It is a riotously funny story of jealousy taken to outrageous extremes. Full of sidesplitting gags and hysterical jokes, Envy is sure to keep adolescents-of all ages-laughing for hours!
Editor's Note
Sensible, hardworking Tim is climbing the managerial ladder, while daydreamer Nick can't seem to stay focused on the tasks at hand. But all of that changes when one of Nick's seemingly hairbrained ideas--a spray that makes dog poop disappear--takes off, making him filthy rich. Rather than leaving the neighborhood and his best friend, Nick turns his home into a mansion and his property into a veritable amusement park. Tim, meanwhile, laments his decision not to invest in Nick's invention early in the game, and his life begins to fall apart as envy takes over. This dark comedy directed by Barry Levinson (AVALON, TIN MEN) also stars Amy Pohler and Rachel Weisz. But it's Christopher Walken who is the real scene-stealer as a bizarre hippie-bum who befriends Tim when he's down and out, only adding to the mayhem.
