Synopsis

Critics' reviews
- "The laughs tend to come in fits and starts, built around individual set pieces rather than being generated organically out of the storytelling."
- "Black somehow feels reigned in; shaved and barbered, he's lost his anarchic passion and is merely playing a comic role instead of transforming it into a personal mission"
- "A woeful little comedy that runs out of steam shortly after its opening sequence."
- "There are a few chuckles here and there, and there are odd wisps of cleverness in the script by Steve Adams, but for the most part, 'Envy' is a film that doesn't know where it's going"
