SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
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").
