"The Heartbreak Kid." Avoid this at all costs! [View all]

I finally broke down and watched it. Total waste of time. I don't know why I keep thinking a Ben Stiller movie is going to be funny. He's just a horrible actor, his movies are terrible, and this one was especially bad. It started out okay, but went south in a hurry. Why do they keep making movies with him in them?
