The Heartbreak Kid
Single and indecisive, Eddie (Ben Stiller) begins dating the incredibly sexy
and seemingly fabulous Lila (Malin Akerman). Upon the urging of his father and
best friend, Eddie proposes to her after only a week, fearing this may be his
last chance at love, marriage and happiness.
However, while on their honeymoon in sunny Mexico, Lila reveals her true,
beyond-awful nature and Eddie meets Miranda (Michelle Monaghan), the woman he
realises to be his actual soul mate. Eddie must keep his new, increasingly
horrid wife at bay as he attempts to woo the girl of his dreams.

" – Urban Cinefile Critics
- " The cast is pitch perfect, with Stiller adding another notable
character to his resumé. " – Michael A. Smith
- " It's still pretty funny to see Ben Stiller take one – or
eight – for the team. " – Chris Hewitt
