synopsis
Tim and Nick are best friends, neighbors and co-workers, whose equal footing is suddenly tripped up when one of Nick's hare-brained get-rich-quick schemes actually succeeds: the Vaporizer, a spray that literally makes dog poop, or any other kind for that matter, evaporate into thin air--to where, exactly, is anyone's guess. Tim, who had scoffed at Nick's idea and passed on an opportunity to get in on the deal, can only watch as Nick's fortune--and Tim's own envy--grow to equally outrageous proportions. When the flames of jealousy are fanned by an oddball drifter who imposes himself into the situation, Tim's life careens wildly out of control, taking Nick's with it.

Based on a pitch by Curb Your Enthusiasm's Larry David (imagine that development meeting), newcomer Steve Adam's script initially hits the right notes--and under the guidance of director Barry Levinson, the premise is cleverly set up. The film even has a fair share of laugh-out-loud moments, including Nick's detailed observation that his hand is a ''freakish sidekick''; J-Man's effort to get Tim to open…
