Have you ever felt that you had found the girl of your dreams? How many times has that girl turned out to be the exact opposite of what you wanted? Most people are lucky enough to not have married that girl, but Eddie was not one of those people. In a remake of the original 1972 film, The Heartbreak Kid stars Ben Stiller as Eddie, who meets Lila and proposes to her after one week of dating. However, Lila turns out to be the completely wrong girl for Eddie. While on his honeymoon with Lila, Eddie meets Miranda, who turns out to be the type of the girl that Eddie actually wants. He has to find a way to keep his new wife away, while finding a way to the heart of the girl that he truly wants.

This is one I can’t wait to see. Ben Stiller always finds a way to be funny in each of his movies, and I don’t think that trend will change for this movie. The original version of the movie was rated number 91 on AFI’s 100 years…. 100 Laughs list. With a similar storyline as the first version, this should be a very time worthy movie. I feel like I could put myself in that situation, which is another reason why I’m excited for this movie. It does not present an outrageous situation for the movie to take place in. It possible for people to marry the wrong person, and then meet the right person while on their honeymoon, that’s what divorce is for. Obviously Britney has taken advantage of it more than once, maybe the first divorce was a result Jason Allen Alexander had an Eddie moment in Las Vegas. This should offer the heavily advertised Good Luck Chuck (sensing a trend yet?) some very good competition after its release on October 5.

I don't expect much from either.
