Another Ben Stiller Loser

Rating: 1/10 (29 August 2008)

Ben Stiller is at it again, making unfunny comedies for unfunny enthusiasts. Seriously, after stinkers like Dodgeball and A Night At The Museum, Ben Stiller would finally fall out of view. But, I was unfortunately wrong.
This time, he's got a new line-up of talentless hacks to back his pitiful performance. Losers like Jack Black (Kung Fu Panda, School of Rock) and Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man, and other films today's theater generation doesn't care about). He even got Tom Cruise out from leading his tyrannical cult and beating his wife to play some pointless role. As usual, it all falls flat in an instant.
Probably the most prominent aspect of this film is Downey Jr. in blackface. Groups and organizations have come up protesting the film for its derogatory usage of the word "retard", but so far, nothing about blackface. Whatever. Now the character can go down in the annals of internet meme-dom forever.
If you waste your time watching this movie, I pity you. If you demoralize yourself by quoting this film, I pity you. If you defend the integrity of this film over the internet via message forums, IRC or instant messages, I pity you. Please, if you have to watch this film, respect yourself and others enough to end your life promptly. Otherwise, drink 18 SlimFasts with some heavy duty ChocoLax, wait 30 minutes and then go to the bathroom -- you've now experienced Tropic Thunder.
