The Heartbreak Kid (A Review)

So the other day, I was able to see a sneak preview screening of The Heartbreak Kid, Ben Stiller’s new "Adult" romantic comedy about a guy who marries the wrong girl. I got to see the screening on the Paramount Studios lot – which is one of the benefits of living in a town like Hollywood.
Anyway, the screening was in the Sherry Lansing Theater, which is a small preview theater on the lot. It was a packed screening, full of people looking to catch a free movie. I have to admit, I wasn’t too excited about the film. I thought the previews were lackluster (at best) and the Farrely Brothers hadn’t made anything good since Something About Marry – at least in my opinion.
I am, however, a Ben Stiller fan, so I was willing to give it a shot. And boy, am I glad I did.
This movie is FUNNY. Not just funny… but laugh so much until you want to puke funny. And if any guy out there has EVER dated the "wrong girl," it’ll even hit a few chords close to home.
The movie centers around Ben Stiller’s character, a simple guy in San Francisco who runs his own Sporting Goods store, who’s deathly afraid of commitment. However, the marriage of his ex-girlfriend makes him anxious to find a wife before he gets any older than he already is (I think the character’s age is 40 something in the film).
Enter the hot blond, whom he meets on the street after the wedding on Valentine’s Day. Ben’s feeling depressed and lonely, and the blond is hot, new to the city, and just got mugged. It’s a match made in heaven! The two get together, and everything seems great. She’s sweet, funny, and they spend most of their time making out. Everything seems to be going great… until the blond’s job is going to send her off to Norway.
At this point, Ben makes the decision not to lose ANOTHER girlfriend, and decides to marry the blond to keep her in the states. As soon as the wedding ceremony is done, however, Ben begins to learn more about his wife and things don’t seem so rosy anymore.
The rest of the movie follows the "unhappy" couple down to Cabo for their honeymoon, and while Ben discovers what a basketcase his wife is, he also finds a new chick who is actually a much better match for him. So now, he needs to figure out a way to get rid of his wife and marry his girlfriend. (This is where the "heartbreak" part of the story comes in.)
Anyway – without giving too much away, the stuff between Stiller and the woman who plays his wife is incredibly funny. It really highlights the things people discover about each other when in a relationship that tend to drive them apart. I mean, what guy HASN’T been with a girl who’s baggage suddenly put a damper on things? That’s pretty much what this movie is all about.
So I would HIGHLY recommend everyone out there seeing this movie when it comes out. Not only is it way funny, I also think it’s a great date movie, because there is plenty of romance in it for all the girls out there, and the funny parts get EXTREMELY funny. I think the entire theater erupted during the second sex scene of the movie. People were literally standing up and cheering during it. Quite a crazy movie.
Oh – and be sure to stay for the end credits. There’s a nice little surprise after the movie is over.

Thundy,
Why don’t you put your excellent reviewing skills to use by reviewing products from the seduction community? Just don’t do it if you plan on being less than brutally honest. This might be tough since you are friends with a lot of these hucksters. Still, you would be good at it…
Why god… WHY did you make Thundercat so fat…???!!!
Oh the humanity..
You know your readers are STILL waiting for a review of the last episode of The PUA. So what do you do? You write and post a review of The Heartbreak Kid. Are you trying to intentionally piss your readers off now? Just wondering.
This blog is useless.
HEADS UP THUNDY….HUGE NEWS IS CUMMING….RIGHT IN YOUR BIG FAT FACE!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Thundercat likes it when you insult his fat fuckin’ ass…
He said he was gonna post a recap by the weekend, but hasn’t delivered, it is now FRIDAY. Yet another reason why you SHOULDN’T buy any thundercat product… the guy is COMPLETELY full of fuckin’ shit.
!!
What an absoulte cocksucker.
Thundercat is absolute rubbish. I used to think he was a legitimate PUA and used to read his previous blog religiously. Because of his negativity towards the likes of Ross Jeffries and RSD, I believed that they were crap. Only later did I do my own research and realise that RJ (and even RSD in their own way) were damn good at what they do, it was Thunderdat who was the fraud.
What a joke he is, recycling the same old ideas in the community and releasing it a “revolutionary” material.
There are only perhaps half dozen REAL pick up artists in this community:
1) Ross Jeffries (1980′s till today) [NLP]
2) Mystery (late 1990′s till today) [Analytical]
3) Juggler (early 2000′s till today) [Emotional]
Every style out there is a combination of these 3 approaches in some way. There is nothing REALLY new out there.
Thanks for the complement, but Stephane Hemon(http://www.ideagasms.net) is pretty fucking unique.
wasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!!
we all hate you, Fatass!!!
Do the recap! That’s the only thing that we need you to do.
Oh man … I curse the day that FAT FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT (ie. Thundercat) was dumped onto the hospital waiting room floor.
DAMN YOU GOD!! WHY DID U SEND HIM TO TAUNT US WITH HIS FAT HAIRY CUM STAINED FACE?
Hang on… why do we hate Thundercat again?
(I’m just joining in for the hell of it)
Wow you guys really want that recap, huh?
Rotten tomatoes gave this movie 34%. Nuff said. Now write the review. Wait a minute, what was the review about again? Maybe if there will be a second season of that show I can’t remember already. When that comes out, we could see the finale review- week one of season two. I don’t even care anymore. I think I don’t, do I?
Hey! Gimme the review of the last episode of The Pickup Artist! Now!!
Why is Thundercat being a gayer?
Hmm don’t really care about the review anymore. Just wanna see pics from Style’s party.
Fry.
wooowwww im lovignt h thundercat lovefest here
Hey guys why all the negativity? Ever think that Thundercat might be out having the time of his life, picking up HB’s left and right, and getting laid? Instead of sitting here typing insults like a bunch of pathetic losers. Seriously, get out there and quit picking on my friend Thundercat. That is all.

Kinda hard to be ‘picking up HB’s left and right, and getting laid’ with his crap method of ‘pick-up.’ Where are pics of him with HB’s? Oh that’s right, they’re pretty non-existant… Yawn. Next.

Dude.. that’s sooooooooo not possible!
VH1.com has delisted the pickup artist from its shows pages. You have to use the search feature to find it. Just saying we probably won’t see a post from thundy until a season 2 rumor is started
This was quite possibly one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen…. wow.
common Thundy,
your slackin…i dont want to have to remove this site from my bookmarks. Im always saying how ur site is the best, dont make me look bad thundy.
Post it. Let others in on this type of fun.
man, what is with this site. All these remarks toward TC. I’ll bet he’s getting laid right now.
yes negativeguy….and probably with ur moms!!!
OOOOOOOOOOH NOOOO HE DI-ENT!!!
Hey all guys waitin for PUA finale recap from Thundy…..instead head over to http://mehow.tv/blog/?p=77
Mehow gives a brutally unbiased review on the second to last show of VH1 PUA, but if you search for it he reviews each episode on his blog. After reading it it completely changed the way I viewed the show. Mehows blog is much better than this lame ass show.
