I tried ,I really did.

Rating: 1/10 (11 October 2015)

I have attempted to watch this film twice, thinking that maybe I just was not in the mood first time around. I actually thought it was worse than I thought the second time! The worst of bad ideas is summed up with this film. Ben Stiller and Jack Black are not my most favourite of actors but I really love Robert Downey. Unfortunately Downey made a really bad mistake by taking part in this abortion. The humour just does not work and the satire is far too heavy handed to hit home. There was obviously a lot of money spent on this but it was wasted on effects and not spent on the script. Anyone who can find this rubbish amusing must be of such low intelligence and expectations it is hardly measurable. A total waste of a great cast (Stiller and Black excepted) and a script fished out from the bottom of a deep, deep waste bin . I think I would maybe class this as a vanity project for Stiller and an indulgence by Cruise and Downey. It's success astonishes me - it is a long SNL script and a bad one at that.
