Quite Disappointing... and Tom Cruise is HORRIBLE

Rating: 5/10 (14 August 2008)

So much unrealized potential. It's a funny concept, and it has its moments, but is ultimately disappointing. A much-hyped gathering of an all-star list of actors, yet of the 3 major players, only Robert Downey Jr turns in a performance worth watching. Surprisingly, one of the strongest in the bunch was supporting player Jay Baruchel. Danny McBride manages to not be funny now for the second time this month after Pineapple Express. Why are they trying to make this guy a star?
Then there's Tom. Tom Cruise's role here would not have even been amusing as a cameo, but they go even further and stretch it out into an entire supporting role, and in all his scenes, he fails to elicit even a single chuckle. To top it off, he is featured in a pointless scene at the very end and over the credits that was so annoying and unfunny it was almost enough to make me dock its rating another whole star.
