He waited all his life to get married. Too bad he didn’t wait another week.

Eddie (Ben Stiller) marries Lila (Malin Åkerman) after dating her for only six weeks; their honeymoon is spent in Cabo where Lila turns out to be a nightmare… and Eddie meets another attractive woman (Michelle Monaghan). The Farrelly brothers take on a Neil Simon original (released in 1972); interesting to note how their movies are increasingly emphasizing warmth over cheap sex jokes, but this film nevertheless has plenty of bite and a few very funny, raunchy scenes. The characters may be cartoonish, but Stiller is perfect and gets along very well with his dad; Åkerman is hilarious in her lead debut.

2007-U.S. 115 min. Color. Widescreen. Directed by Bobby Farrelly, Peter Farrelly. Cast: Ben Stiller (Eddie Cantrow), Malin Åkerman (Lila), Michelle Monaghan (Miranda), Jerry Stiller, Rob Corddry, Carlos Mencia… Eva Longoria.
