Fucking hilarious.

And if you're easily offended, pull the stick out of your ass and go see it anyway, because it's fucking hilarious.

It's an interesting film. Something for everybody too. If you wanna go if for the fart/gross humor there's something for you. If you wanna see some pretty sophisticated Hollywood insider spoof stuff, it's there too.

I was kind of amazed that some of the jokes got into the movie considering who is IN the movie.

As for the "retard" controversy; the people that are upset about it, I don't think understood what was actually being said in the movie at all. I think they -completely- missed the point of what that scene was about.

I thought Downey Jr gave an excellent performance in the movie. Dude was funny. Definately a good mindless, fun, make everyone laugh at least once movie with plenty of catchy phrases that will surely be picked up and used by the masses. It is also a BIG poke in the eye directed at Hollywood and actors.

I'm just wondering how long before someone actually starts selling cans of booty sweat:D


"I'm a lead farmer mutha fucker!!":D


"Never go full retard"

"Wait, what do you mean "you people"? "

" Mutha Fucker what do you mean "you people"?"

I just watched this on recommendation from a co-worker.
Now bear in mind I don't care for Stiller, nor Black, or their low-brow humor.
But Downey, Cruise, and Nolte, more than made up for it!!!:D
I didn't even realize who they were at first.

BIg thumbs up!:)

The part where Blacks character is carrying the kid into the heroin factory screaming "Don't judge me...." classic!

"What you mean Lance?"
"I didn't say Lance, I said Nance!"
"Nope you said Lance!"

Did you notice the white guy sitting next to the black kid at the awards ceremony at the end?:ph34r:
I didn't recognize the guy, but when I looked up the trivia, I got a great belly laugh!:D

I 'saw' it a while back on a international flight, didn't have the headphones plugged in just glancing at it occasionally...I kept thinking that looks like a fat-bald Tom Cruise!

Rented it back home...thumbs up!!B|

Saw it in the theater and thought it was hilarious. I've had numerous friends that have done stunt work in the movies, and the movie rang true with some of the anecdotes I've heard. Nice send up of Tinsel Town.:)



The best skewering of Hollywood I had seen previously was Blake Edward's "S.O.B".

OUTSTANDING movie!:D
