A Fitting Tribute to the American Film Industry

Rating: 9/10 (19 June 2009)

IF you are looking for a spoof here, you will have to let go off all the preconceived notions attached with one.This movie is such an exquisite venture that it doesn't abstain from tasking a shot at the spoofs themselves. the movie's start where Stiller pungently ridicules all those Hollywood promos where a man with a baritone voice tries to to inject adrenaline into the audience, sets the ball rolling.
And mind you the introductory lines are even more hilarious where stiller hits back at all those war movies where the directors had been able to resist the temptation to historically and factually weave their feature.
The actors's facial reactions, body language , sensibilities and demeanor all have been so minutely thought into that each scene evokes uncontrollable laughter , even when apparently there is nothing expressly hilarious. In it's tone and setting the movies is far more credible than many of those gung-ho war movies.
I must say, Ben stiller,R Downey jr., Jack Black and every single member of the cast has perfectly overplayed his or her part.
The movie is also a breakaway from cheesy and " urbane humour"
All in all the movie is brilliant, the climax perfect , a must watch for all those who believe that serious cinema is over glorified.
