...Heartbreak Kid doesn't go totally wrong, its big problem is that doesn't really go anywhere. It just sort of lies there, like dumb Lila on the beach, waiting to turn gold. It wants to rekindle the Something About Mary spirit, or perhaps it hopes to twist it into an instructively acerbic fable about answered prayers. But, for all the typically Farrelly gross-out gags (beware the pubic hair scene), it hasn't the nerve either to brand Eddie as an unethical creep or salute his indefatigably amoral ambition to proceed directly from first wife to trophy wife...

...speak to the Board. Indeed, they are only allowed to appear “in certain disciplinary cases…under specific guidelines.” While we recognize that entering a private institution causes us to surrender some rights as citizens, the Administrative Board should adhere to the spirit, if not the letter, of due process. Students who are facing possible dismissal from the College should be allowed to appear before the Board to explain their actions and make the best possible case for themselves.
