Offensive

Rating: 1/10 (15 August 2008)

I have seen this film (if that's what you want to call it). It is offensive on several levels. First of all it makes fun of people who are mentally disabled at one point, which becomes nauseating. Way to go Ben Stiller. Make fun of people that are not able to defend themselves. I don't make fun of your height or lack there of.
Also, I think this is a perfect example of how one actor's fame should not be an excuse for blackface to be re-introduced in film. I don't care how famous Robert Downey Junior is or how much he makes per film. Wearing black face is offensive. Anyone who is entertained by this aspect of the film contributes to the promotion of racism. Way to go Ben, aka William West. Did anyone forget that Robert Downey Junior was caught in the bed of someone else's home while high on drugs? We forgive these nutjobs so quickly. Don't forgive him for taking on this role.
The only redeeming quality in this film is Tom Cruise in a fat suit. And even that will offend somebody. Ben, come up with some new material. I was a die hard fan before you came out with this garbage. What happened to you since great films like Zoolander?!
