Plot: Tim (Ben Stiller) and Nick (Jack Black) are best friends, neighbors and co-workers, whose equal footing is suddenly tripped up when one of Nick’s harebrained get-rich-quick schemes actually succeeds: Vapoorizer, a spray that literally makes dog poop, or any other kind for that matter, evaporate into thin air—to where exactly is anyone’s guess. Tim, who had poo-pooed Nick’s idea and passed on an opportunity to get in on the deal, can only watch as Nick’s fortune—and Tim’s own envy—grow to equally outrageous proportions. The flames of jealousy are fanned by an oddball drifter (Christopher Walken) who takes it upon himself to help fix Tim’s situation, but only causes Tim’s life to careen more wildly out of control…and Nick’s with it.

Release Date: August 15, 2003
Director: Barry Levinson
Cast: Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Christopher Walken, Rachel Weisz, Amy Poehler

Jack Black is one of the few people who can make me laugh no matter what he's doing, and Ben Stiller's a hilarious guy as well. Chris Walken just sweetens the deal.

Ben Stiller + Jack Black = I'm there even if they say in the trailer that it's an awful movie and nobody should go see it!

I saw the trailer at Chariles Angels 2 over the weekend, and it was funny..but im thinking they did the smart thing and saved the funniest parts for the movie. I think the movie's gonna be pretty good the cast is amazing and the plot is just hilarious. Wonder why Ben Stiller and Jack Black haven't worked together before now??

They were both in The Cable Guy, but they never acted in the same scene or anything.

Ohh didn't know that! But like you said they didn't really get to play off eachother... probably why it wasn't that memorable. I'm excited to see the two of them actually working together, and the whole vapoorizer idea is hilarious...I mean poop doesn't just vanish, so where does it actually go?

I'm looking forward to this movie. I think Jack Black and Ben Stiller are two of the funniest leading men in Hollywood. High Fidelity and Meet the Parents are two of my favorite comedies in of the last 5 years or so. Christopher Walken is entertaining...so i dont see this movie sucking.

Jack Black was great in everything.... and Ben Stiller's performances in Zoolander, Meet The Parents, There's Something About Mary...etc. were over the top.... both of them together means HUGE SUCCESS

Actually Ben Stiller and Jack Black had a scene together in Orange County. Ben Stiller had a cameo as a fireman in the scene where Jack Black set the Admissions Building on fire. It's not much but it is a brief Jack Black-Ben Stiller scene.

I was unimpressed by the trailer. It looks so-so at best. But I do love the cast so I'll still check it out

This trailer had me cracking up. I can't wait to see more of Christopher Walken in this. what a great addition to the cast.

I'm SO there.

This sounds cool. Hopefully it will be better than both of their last two movies. I'll see what the critics say, then I may see it...

has anyone else downloaded the Vapoorizer Infomercial? (http://www.vapoorizer.com) I was cracking up. I wonder if this is just promotional or if it'll be in the movie as well?

I loved Christopher Walken in Joe Dirt...the scene on the stretcher was great!

Meet the Parents was an fu**ing awesome movie! I love Ben Stiller, he always cracks me up.

Orange County was a pretty funny movie. Stiller and Black didn't have tons of time together (on screen) but it was enough to get an idea of what they could do together, and I can't wait.

I always laugh at Christopher Walken's line. "Good for you, man! Good for you. Good for you." Just the way he says it sounds kind of like an impression of himself. Very funny.

I usually like Barry Levinson, Rachel Weisz, and Amy Poehler, but the trailer doesn't really look like anything special.

word. He is Christopher Walken x7 in that trailer. Which adds to my excitement for the movie.

and FYI, Jack Black and Ben Stiller did an amazingly funny TV pilot together called Heat Vision and Jack. Stiller was the writer/director I believe and Jack Black played a NASA scientist who grew into a genius when the sun was out. His motorcycle talked and was voiced by Owen Wilson. Wacky hijinks ensue. It was awesome.

Anyway, they clearly have worked together in the past and I think their chemistry in this one will be outstanding.

This movie looks really bad. No one in the theater laughed at the trailer, and on 3 different occasions
