Stiller in positions like never before
9 October 2007
Farrelly brothers return with a raucous romp The Heartbreak Kid stars comedic legend Ben Stiller as the goofy unmarried guy trying to make sense of things. All his life, Eddie Cantrow (Stiller) has been searching for his one true love. While his quest to end his bachelor days continues, his friends are all busy tying the knot.

Eddie Cantrow doesn't want to be the last bachelor on the block so he takes some unsound advice and marries the first beautiful girl he happens to run into. Lila (Akerman) is not only a strikingly gorgeous gal with healthy physical needs; she is also a bat out of hell.

Cantrow discovers that there's more to life than marrying for the sake of it. Enter Miranda (Monaghan) a cute down-to-earth gal on the rebound. In true Farrelly brother style, the humour is crass and outrageous. The graphic sex scenes are a diversion from Stiller's mainstream work, but it gels in this particular little entrée.
