The (not so) secret life of Ben Stiller

Rating: 5/10 (5 January 2018)

Sorry. I'm tired of watching Ben Stiller movies that are nothing more than Ben Stiller being Ben Stiller. That's one of the biggest issues I had with this movie. It just wasn't believable. I never bought into his "character".
Making it even more unbelievable, as other reviewers have already pointed out, is that Stiller goes from meek day-dreaming mouse to super hero with nothing in between to even remotely justify the transition. (And as much as I hate films that cheap out and give a sudden "OH, HE WAS JUST DREAMING" excuse/plot arc, I would have actually preferred it in this film to the "mouse to super hero" nonsensical ploy.)
The movie, which I suppose was intended to be a real "feel good" movie, was just a bland, pointless dud. I yearn for the time when all these Ben Stiller, Adam Sandler, Vince Vaughn, Owen Wilson, Will Ferrell, Seth Rogen, Zach Galifianakis, Seth MacFarlane Idiocracy shows will just go away once and for all.
