Ben Stiller ("Meet
the Parents") and Jack Black ("Shallow Hal") star
in the outrageous comedy "Envy," under the direction
of Academy Award winner Barry Levinson ("Rain
Man").
Tim (Ben Stiller) and Nick (Jack Black) are best
friends, neighbors and co-workers, whose equal
footing is suddenly tripped up when one of Nick's
harebrained get-rich-quick schemes actually succeeds:
Vapoorizer, a spray that literally makes dog poop, or
any other kind for that matter, evaporate into thin
air - to where exactly is anyone's guess. Tim, who
had poo-pooed Nick's idea and passed on an
opportunity to get in on the deal, can only watch as
Nick's fortune -and Tim's own envy - grow to equally
outrageous proportions. The flames of jealousy are
fanned by an oddball drifter (Christopher Walken) who
takes it upon himself to help fix Tim's situation,
but only causes Tim's life to careen more wildly out
of control ... and Nick's with it.
The film also stars Rachel Weisz ("About a Boy") and
Amy Poehler (TV's "Saturday Night Live"), with Ving
Rhames ("Mission: Impossible I & II") and Academy Award
winner Christopher Walken ("The Deer Hunter,"
"Catch Me If You
Can").
