Envy (2004)

In 2011, Ben Stiller won the Britannia Award for Excellence in Comedy, he's won an Emmy and several MTV Movie Awards for his comedic movies.

Jack Black also has won several awards for his work in comedy.

These men also have 2 more things in common. 
  1. They both won the Worst Actor Razzie award.
  2. They both starred in the movie "Envy".
Why is this important?  These men can be counted among the funniest guys in the business.  Given their acting history, teaming up on a movie should warrant a good review.  Not so much.

Synopsis: A man becomes increasingly jealous of his friend's newfound success. (complements of IMDb.com)

Stiller plays a man who's best friend (Black) invents a product that makes poop disappear.  That's right, it's "VaPooRize".  Black becomes uber-rich and Stiller becomes envious.  This movie starts slow, continues slow and ends slow.  It's got a dry sense of humor and a horrible plot line.  Without giving any spoilers, the best part of the movie has to do with the horse, Corky, and even that wasn't very funny.

If you've already seen it, you have my apologies.  If you haven't, do yourself a favor and stay away.  I feel 5% dumber since watching this movie.
