Not impressed

Rating: 5/10 (6 September 2008)

I've been hearing a lot about this movie and although I'm not an avid Stiller fan, I can say I am pro RDJ (since Scanner Darkly) and Jack black has in the past tickled my funny bone.
So what the heck, right? I'll just go to the theater, shut off my brain and get some good laughs from some great comediac performances, right? Wrong.
Now don't get me wrong. The beginning fake previews were hilarious. But then it just kind of falls off from there. It wasn't offensive. It wasn't stupid either. It was just... un-funny. The jokes fell flat, RDJ fake accents (the Aussie and African) made him inaudible, Jack Black and Stiller had their moments (although Jack had far more than Stiller) but it was still just not enough to warrent my 11.00.
Oh. I almost forgot. Tom Cruise dancing to rap music. I know it was supposed to be silly, I know it was supposed to be stupid, but my God... I was truly offended there. I had to look away from the screen before I vomited.
So all in all, the movie isn't unwatchable (except for the above mentioned) but wait for a rental and a dateless Saturday night.
