Plot Summary
Ben Stiller and Jack Black star as Tim and Nick, 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 scoffed at 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. When the flames of jealousy are fanned by an oddball drifter (Walken) who imposes himself into the situation, Tim's life careens wildly out of control ... taking Nick's with it.

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: Envy can't decide whether to be an eccentric black comedy or a middle-of-the-road diversion.
Rotten: Ultimately more amusing than hilarious, and sometimes less than that.
Rotten: Envy crawls to its finish through a minefield of poor taste and comedic misfires.
Rotten: The film is neither fish nor fowl nor some arresting new entity, but a lumpish coagulation of conflicting impulses and unrealized gestures.
Customer Reviews
Bad movie reviews...
Seven percent on the "Tomatometer"? Come on, it is a great movie with Ben Stiller and Jack Black in top form. Strange but very funny story. Seventy percent would be fair!
Horrible
One of the worst comedies I've ever seen. Unfunny, dull, and rather boring :/
I loved it!!!
I know everyone hates this movie but for some reason I keep watching it I think it's hilarious !!!
