Envy (2004) is a dark comedy directed by Barry Levinson, starring Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Rachel Weisz, and Christopher Walken. The film follows two best friends and neighbors whose lives spiral into absurd chaos after one of them invents a spray that makes dog droppings disappear — and the other is consumed by jealousy over his sudden success.
Mixing surreal humor with social satire, Envy explores ambition, greed, and the fragility of friendship through an offbeat tone and eccentric performances. Though overlooked upon release, the film has since found a cult following for its strange charm and early-2000s comedic style.
