The heartbreak kid - 2007

Nope, I didn't like this. Not at all.
 It started okay, and it should have been a funny / romantic movie, but it was only occasionally funny and it was not romantic. The beginning was not too bad, but it goes down quickly.
Eddie (Ben Stiller) meets a girl, they start talking and they seem perfect for each other, so he hastily proposes to her ...  but they are even arrived to  their honeymoon place that things already start to look different, because Eddie actually knows nothing about her, and now realises that everything about her annoys him. On his honeymoon he meets another woman, and is sure that this Miranda is his soul mate, but of course it'll come out the little detail of the bride and the honeymoon, and both women will leave him.
Now there's a whole business with him not being able to fly home because he doesn't have his passport anymore, so he tries to cross the border with all the other illegal immigrants, but it'll take him a lot to finally get home. He looks for Miranda and finds that she married someone else. Wow, they all make hasty decisions, don't they??? She was single when she met him, and now she's already married to an ex-boyfriend... wow, are they afraid of something???  Eddie leaves her believing her happy with her husband, and when they meet again months later she's single again, having realised she wants him after all, and he acts happy about that, only he's again married to someone else!... Do these people think that marriage is like renting a dvd? Let's try it ! It's not like it's for life, right? Well, wrong in the case of a marriage. Of course marriages can go wrong, people change, situations change, divorces happen... but if you met someone and marry them right away without knowing each other or spending some time together in the same house  then you're just looking for it!
