This is what the movie looked like and this is what it is. If you've seen Stiller muddle through "Something About Mary", "Meet the Parents", "Along Came Polly" and "Envy"...then you've basically seen this. Basically it's another "Ben Stiller has the perfect life until something else comes along and then it's turns into a Ben Stiller vs. the world" movie. This time you get to see him struggle with a bothersome elderly woman tenant of an antique duplex he just bought. She's annoying enough to cause him to drive him crazy, but not enough to get kicked out. She plays her TV loud at night, knocks on their door and calls them all day, everyday. Instead of finding her in breach of contract of a loud noise level ordinance, he go through the great lengths of getting her out, to include booby-trapping her house and hiring a hit-man (but I guess that's funnier.) This movie has some "cute" moments with the old lady, but in the end it leaves you empty.
