Evil Woman (2001) 6/10

Starring : Jason Biggs, Steve Zahn, Jack Black, Amanda Peet, Amanda Detmer
Director : Dennis Dugan
Running Time : 92 mins

Darren Silverman (Biggs) is a life long romantic who gets together with the psychotic and controlling Judith (Peet). As she gets her clutches further and further into Darren, taking control of his social life and even his private hobbies, his friends Wayne (Zahn) and JD (Black) decide that the only way to stop her from destroying their friend's life is to kidnap Judith, make Darren think she's dead and then get him together with his childhood sweetheart Sandy (Detmer).

Zahn and Black really make this film, with their ridiculously pathetic attempts to stop Amanda Peet, but even these aren't that well worked out. This probably won't be everyone's cup of tea, as most of the set pieces aren't that funny, but there are a few moments between Biggs and Peet that worked well.
