It's rare that my son wants to rent a movie. He much prefers to rent video games at the movie store. But this time, he wanted to get Envy. I'm not exactly sure why. I think that it was because of Jack Black being in the movie. So out of pure shock that he actually wanted to watch a movie, I rented it. I was never interested in seeing the movie, even if Jack Black and Christopher Walken are in it. It just didn't appeal to me. Maybe I was deceived by the trailer, or thought the story seemed rather dull. However, I was pleasantly surprised when we watched it. The movie was a bit whimsical and quite enjoyable. The soundtrack, by Mark Mothersbaugh, added a lot of enjoyment. The lyrics to some of the songs were really funny and actually related to what was going on in the story. Plus, the combination of Jack Black, Ben Stiller, and Christopher Walken worked really well. Strange that they would, but for some reason they did.
My favorite scene in the whole movie is when they try to shut down the out-of-control carousel. Who knew that owning one could be so dangerous.
