The film peaks early with the inventive Vapoorize concept but crashes hard during the environmental revelation plot twist, dropping nearly 4 points.
Envy starts promisingly with an amusing premise and strong early chemistry between Stiller and Black, particularly around the Vapoorize invention. However, the film steadily declines as the plot becomes increasingly contrived and desperate for laughs, with only Christopher Walken's eccentric performance providing consistent entertainment. Most reviewers felt the comedy died in the second half, making it a missed opportunity despite its original concept.
