''The Heartbreak Kid'' is a 2007 romantic comedy film directed by the Farrelly brothers. Starring Ben Stiller, ''The Heartbreak Kid'' is a remake of the 1972 film of the same name. The film was originally titled ''The Seven Day Itch'', but Peter Farrelly revealed the filmmakers lost a lawsuit over the name; after attempts to find another title and suggestions of several other possible titles, the studio foisted ''The Heartbreak Kid'' name onto them. Also starring are Michelle Monaghan, Malin Åkerman, Jerry Stiller, Rob Corddry, Carlos Mencia, Scott Wilson and Danny McBride. The screenplay for the 2007 film was written by Leslie Dixon, Scot Armstrong, the Farrelly brothers and Kevin Barnett. ==Plot== Eddie (Ben Stiller), the owner of a San Francisco sports shop, is single but ambivalent about starting a relationship. While walking, he sees a thief snatching a woman's purse. Eddie tries but fails to retrieve the purse, he and Lila (Malin_Åkerman) exchange pleasantries, begin dating, and soon become serious. Each imagines it's a perfect match. When a job offer requires Lila to live in Holland, Eddie learns that the company would not move a married employee, so with the urging of both his father (Jerry Stiller) and best friend (Rob Corddry), Eddie marries Lila. During their honeymoon, it becomes increasingly apparent to Eddie how mismatched they are. On the drive to Cabo San Lucas, Lila irritates him with incessant singing to a blasting radio. Lila's sex is so strenuous that Eddie suffers physical pain. Eddie's disaffection deepens when Lila divulges her history of cocaine abuse, a deviated septum, and her habit of spitting drinks out through her nose. He learns that professionally she was only a volunteer, and that the purse snatcher had been one of her former lovers, to whom she owes money. At the Los Cabos resort, Lila adamantly refuses to use sunblock while sunbathing only in baby oil, and then blames Eddie for the agony of her first-degree sunburn. As the enormity of Eddie's mistake sinks in, he meets Miranda (Michelle Monaghan), a vacationer with her family from Mississippi. Just as with Lila, Eddie immediately imagines that he and Miranda are a perfect match. With Lila confined to her room crippled by sunburn, Eddie devotes most of his honeymoon to Miranda. Eddie makes a favorable impression on all of her family except for her cousin, Martin (Danny McBride), who senses that Eddie is hiding something. Eddie decides to abandon Lila. In the chaos that ensues, she and Miranda both abandon him. Lila destroys Eddie's passport. Border patrol agents repeatedly catch Eddie attempting to cross the U.S. border illegally with help provided from Uncle Tito (Carlos Mencia), while others escape by the hundreds. Eddie finally succeeds and gets to Oxford, Mississippi, where he learns that Miranda has married her previous boyfriend. He promises to leave Miranda alone, yet sneaks in and awakens Miranda as her husband sleeps on. Her cousin attacks him with a baseball bat until Eddie's father intervenes. Eddie agrees to leave if Miranda says she truly loves her new husband, which she does. Eddie gives up, without knowing she looks longingly from her balcony as he walks away. Eighteen months later, Eddie is living permanently in Mexico when Miranda arrives on vacation, says she made a mistake, has left her husband, and wants to be with Eddie. That thrills Eddie, who now begins hiding the fact that he has a new wife, Consuelo (Eva Longoria), and is back in the same duplicitous predicament. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Heartbreak Kid (2007 film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
