Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
Envy is a funny movie, but it's more funny peculiar than funny ha-ha, so enjoyment is purely a matter of personal taste. When Nick (Jack Black) invents an aerosol spray that makes dog-poop disappear (think of the boon to society!), he reaps a fortune overnight and sends his friend, co-worker and neighbor Tim (Ben Stiller) into a tailspin of simmering envy, since he had no faith in Nick's get-rich-quick scheme and declined his offer of 50-50 partnership. What makes this potentially raucous plot peculiar is that it sets up the situation and proceeds to ignore its most comedic implications, opting instead for a sub-plot involving bows, arrows, a dead horse, and an eccentric vagrant (Christopher Walken, offering reliable comic relief) who coaches Tim on the joys of neighborly blackmail. All the while, Envy suffers a comedic identity crisis, giving Black and Stiller a few good laughs (along with their on-screen wives, played by Rachel Weisz and Saturday Night Live's Amy Poehler) while director Barry Levinson struggles to reach a quirky balance of morality play and blue-collar farce. He never quite gets there. --Jeff Shannon

How to look like a bathing suit model(?).......2007-06-15

At first I was skeptical about the concept of a team of top bathing suit models becoming a "super team of fitness". Upon doing the DVDs I realized why each of them had been chosen...Eliana (a.k.a. FHM girl CJ Gibson) really does have Abs of Envy, as do each of the other girls with their specialized body zones - buns, legs and arms (2 Maxim Hometown Hotties and the Playmate of the Year). We see these girls in magazines, envy them, and this DVD series shows us how to be them. Yes, the exercises are hard but so is staying in shape and I found after a few tries, the routines get easier and the results begin to show. If you really want to look hot, this is how. I recommend this to women who enjoy being or want to be hot. Grandmothers need not apply.

so-so.......2007-06-14

I would agree with the other reviews that the workout should be condensed into one disk rather than four separate ones. I found the "buns" section the more difficult of all featured areas. Overall it's a fairly decent workout, nothing outstanding. If you don't mind the "cheesiness" and the use of models posing as fitness instructors rather than actual trainers, then its fine. I would recommend buying the video on sale (even more). Not worth the discounted $20 some odd dollars I spent.

Envy Girls 4 Disc Set.......2007-06-11

I thought this was going to be a high impact exercise video. It was everything but that.

Disappointed.......2007-06-09

The DVD looks more promising than it actually is.
The workout targets people that have been working out for a while, if you are one of the lucky ones it is recommended!

Envy This..........2007-06-08

We think these videos are great and we love each of the workouts. I have already recommended these to my friends. Worth every penny.

Envy.......2007-03-29

Envy (Widescreen Edition) i found the movie mildly amusing was dissapointed that i purchased it

I loved the movie, but I guess i'm strange.......2007-02-06

I rented this movie one day without having known a single thing about the movie. I read no reviews and all I knew about the movie is who directed it. I like the director's films and the two people in it.

I personally enjoyed the movie and found it quite funny. Even laugh out loud funny. Yes, you read that right. I'm not an idiot and like all kinds of movies and am pretty picky. I have to admit I might have a weird sense of humour.

Anyway, this isn't much of a review. I saw the movie and liked it so much that I immediately rewatched it! That night I checked rotten tomatoes (Review site) and was shocked to find that the movie was totally rotten! I felt a little embarrassed that I liked the movie that much, but who cares!

All my friends hate the movie and think it's garbage. Probably 1/10 people would actually like the movie. Possibly. I just know that I loaned the movie to my mother and she loved it as well! No, we are not a family of idiots as you may be thinking! We also don't smoke drugs.

This is one of those movies I love that everyone else in the world seems to hate. I'm sure you'd had that happen before.

Could it have been worse?.......2007-01-14

One of the most awful films in years, or a cautionary tale ahead of its time? Consider the talent involved. They must have had a reason to invest so much in a story about a man who discovers a way to make dog do instantly disappear. Barry Levinson directed "The Natural" and "Rain Man" for goodness sake, why on earth would he do this? The film is tedious, loses steam after Ben Stiller shoots Jack Black's horse. They try to liven things with Christopher Walken as an old army guy who convinces Stiller he's everyman hero, like Che Guevara. Then when that doesn't work, Black conveniently decides to make him partner (why didn't he do this sooner?) This sets up Rachel Weisz for a dopey transformation to greedy, sex-crazy wife. Amy Poehler is funny as Black's wife who runs for congress. Her campaign is threatened by an opponent wondering where the do goes after it's vaporized. If this all sounds kind of lame it is. But the syrup on pants gag is funny at the beginning. There is clever satire in here somewhere. I know it. Look at all the talent involved. They had to have done it for more than a paycheck. We must be missing something. Soylent Green is people? Did you just call it "her?"

You'lI ENVY the genius of these filmmakers!.......2006-07-07

In my opinion, ENVY is everything you could want in a good-time madcap movie that had no budget for a screenwriter. How the heck do you waste the unrestrained hilarity that is Jack Black? You have to TRY to make this cat UNFUNNY. Well, kids, let's call this one "Mission Accomplished" and fly back to "Bad Movieland" where everything is rainbows and sun showers and you keep greenlighting movies because somebody is a friend of the studio head despite the fact the there isn't a single redeeming quality to this pitch and/or screenplay. Keep the hacks to computer programming, not screenwriting.

Possibly The Worst Movie I've Ever Seen...Like Flushing $12.00 Down The Drain.......2006-06-02

I'll be honest: From the trailer, commercials, and the very fact that it contained both Ben Stiller and Jack Black, I was expecting at least something stupid enough that it was funny. Despite the horrible reviews when it was released, I still somewhat eagerly went to see "Envy". Halfway through the movie I almost left, but forced myself to stay, hoping that it would get at least a little better. To say the least: It didn't. I left the theater depressed and regretfull over the 7 bucks I paid for the ticket, and the hour and a half lost seeing it. This movie is easily one of the worst comedies I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot of comedies. Bed Stiller's performance couldn't be more disappointing, and Jack Black stupid antics weren't funny in the least. Honestly, I think there was MAYBE one time in the entire length of the film that I chuckled, and that was forced. Nothing in this movie was funny, just dull and boring, plus the plot is bull, and doesn't end up anywhere else from where it started.
If you're looking for something stupid but funny as hell, this is NOT it. "Envy" is a total waste of time, with the only humorous thing being the time and money the producers put into this load of s**t. Don't believe anyone who promotes this movie, though I haven't met anyone who has (Heck, most of my friends who saw this movie didn't even finish it) Trust me, if you buy this movie, or even rent it, you will pay dearly. Keep the money: You could buy a pizza (A much better investment).

slow, tame, 1970s flick.......2005-03-15

Though filmed in the late 1970s, this was made in Technicolor. It has the look of "Bewitched," "I Dream of Jeannie," or Marilyn Monroe films. There are few words here. That detail was possibly inspired by classic French films. Still, any bilingual person walking down the street could have written the subtitles for this film. However, the subtitles have no apostrophes in their translations. So everything is cant, dont, or wouldnt. Additionally, the film moves very slowly.

Characters' looks are blatant signifiers of their personae. In a different country and more than a decade before the Rodney King incident, police are made to look bad here. They are the old, fat characters who are racist and domineering to boot. Of the two main male characters, the hairier one is obviously "the bad guy," though both men are equally, and deliciously, muscular. This movie is very light on sexual content. So that fact that the title and the ingénue role is called "Erotica" is shocking, especially given that the film takes place in a conservative, highly religious country. Like most (heteropatriarchal) films, there is female nudity, but no male nudity. In fact, the viewer can almost guess that the female nudity is the sole reason for the film to be made.

Rober McKee Irwin has written that much of Mexican, canonical fiction depends on the relationships between different men, as opposed to the usual ideas of important dyads based on heterosexuality, class-blending, or miscegenation. He basically states that much of Eve Sedgwick's ideas apply to Mexican literature. Well, the same is true in this film. As much as the lead actress is featured, she is really just a prop in the background between two warring men. This is less of a bizarre love triangle and more of two men trafficking in women, as Gayle Rubin would say.
