What a strange movie. It has a queer plot and the characters are what make it funny. Jack Black is hilarious! In one scene, Jack Black is so upset about something that he jumps on the hood of Ben Stiller's car (while he's in it) and starts sobbing! Also, Jack Black and his whole family are obsessed with flan (a fancy dessert dish) and there are couple weird scenes involving it. When Nick Vanderpark (Jack Black) comes up with another one of his crazy ideas for an invention, his best friend/neighbor/co-worker Tim Dingman (Ben Stiller) doesn't encourage or invest in the idea. However, Nick actually invents it and becomes a millionaire! So during the whole movie, Tim is attacked by the green-eyed monster of jealousy.
