benaboo This is hands down Ben Stiller's best movie. It has great action, great dialogue, great acting, great music and great humor. This movie is filled with quotable lines and works very well. The performances I have to single out for praise are Ben Stiller, Robert Downey Jr, Jay Baruchel, Matthew McConaughey, and Tom Cruise. I feel like this movie approaches it's themes in a way similar to Blazing Saddles but Blazing Saddles has a lot more slapstick. The Tugg Speedman character is not as memorable as Derek Zoolander but this movie is far better than Zoolander is. This is my favorite Ben Stiller movie alongside Meet The Fockers, Zoolander, Starsky and Hutch, and Night At The Museum 1 and 3 but I still haven't seen There's Something About Mary. I honestly prefer Robert Downey Jr as Kirk Lazuras over him as Iron Man but they are both fantastic performances. Tom Cruise is awesome as Less Grossman. He owns his character that is very different from everything else he has done. I hope Ben Stiller is proud of this movie because to me this is his best one.
RockChild I think that's the perfect way to define this movie. Superb cast Ben Stiller, Robert Downey Jr.,Jack Black, Nick Nolte, Matthew McConaughey and Tom Cruise... with special mention to him. It's amazing that anybody with his status decided to play that role and the best part is that he plays the character, perfect... I can't stop laughing every time he is on the screen. A bunch of actors lost in the middle of the jungle with fake guns and believing they are filming a movie doesn't sound so exciting but believe me, this film won't disappoint you...
mummychic12 I don't even know where to start with this movie. It's silly, and hits on pretty much every major stereotype of all different races, on Hollywood, and the Vietnam War. If any of this offends you, don't watch the movie. If you can laugh at yourself, then you will enjoy it immensely. This movie is insanely quotable like many of my favorite comedies. The characters all have great one liners, but I have to say for me Robert Downey Jr. makes this movie. He plays Kirk Lazarus, method actor, playing Sgt. Lincoln Osiris...in blackface. Like I said, you have to bring your best sense of humor to this movie, but the brilliant thing is that they acknowledge the implications of everything they make fun of, and then continue to make fun of it. The other black character in the movie, Alpa Chino, calls Kirk Lazarus out every time he says something stereotypical. You only have to look at the names of all of the characters in the film to see that there is no stone left unturned, so to speak, when it comes to recognizing stereotypes. Another personal favorite character of mine is Tom Cruise's character Les Grossman (who is arguably my favorite Tom Cruise character of all time because he doesn't take himself seriously for once) as the unscrupulous, vulgar Hollywood executive who only cares about getting his cut for making the movie. The movie ends with a gangsta rap dance sequence in his fat suit, which to me is totally worth it even if you don't like the rest of the movie. If you're into smart stupid humor, you'll enjoy this movie.
Alexander Yrttiaho I saw this movie yesterday with my friend. This movie is just flat out amazing! Me and my friend were laughing from beginning to end, for me this is a must watch movie. The comedy in this movie is flat out genius, and the characters are so interesting and so well acted. This is a Ben Stiller movie, I would say this is one of his best movies he has ever done. The actors in this movie are just so perfect (especially Robert Downey JR) but I would say all the actors made a great job, Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Matthew McConaughey, Tom Cruise and Brandon T Jackson just to name a few. If you like good comedy with some action and with some interesting characters you will most likely love this movie! GO WATCH NOW!
