	Movies - Envy

Envy is a 2004 comedy film, starring Ben Stiller and Jack Black and was directed by Barry Levinson. The film was poorly received by both critics and audiences, and the U.S. box office takings were so poor that the film was released straight-to-video in Europe. The film had been stalled for some time, and it was only the success of School of Rock
that prompted the distributors to release the film to theatres. Both Jack Black and Jeffrey Katzenberg apologized for the film at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival.

Plot

Tim and Nick (played by Stiller and Black) are best friends who are also neighbors and co-workers at a sandpaper company. Nick is constantly coming up with crazy ideas to get rich quick, and when he invents the Vapoorizer, a spray that instantly removes dog poop, he actually succeeds.

As Nick's wealth continues to grow, so does Tim's jealousy, as he had initially scoffed at the idea and squandered an opportunity to invest $2,000 and become mega-rich himself. Nick is blissfully unaware of Tim's jealousy, and his generosity only serves to make Tim more envious of him.

Tim's jealousy reaches new levels after J-Man (played by Walken), a bizarre drifter, decides to become his adviser.

Tagline: Success didn't go to his head, it went to his neighbor.
