"I'm the dude playin' the dude, disguised as another dude!"

Rating: 10/10 (13 November 2009)

To get into the mindset of soldiers, a director takes his five leading actors to the jungle so they can experience the real conditions that there characters are going through. However, the director ends up taking his crew to a real war zone...And now his actors will have to become their characters, in order to survive.
There's been a lot of controversy about this movie about Robert Downey jr's character and the word 'retard' being constantly used...But let's face it, it's comedy..It's not meant to be offensive..It's satire.
There is such witty dialogue in this movie and the actors deliver each line with great comedy timing, more surprisingly we see, Tom Cruise...Going into the movie, I had no idea he was in it; so it was a pleasant surprise.
The end fight scene is a little disappointing but you can forgive them, as the middle half is just pure gold, as the prima-donna's wonder what they are going to do; now that the director has been blown to pieces....And the 'Lance' conversation is just pure gold, with Jack Black just killing the audience with his facial gestures...Matthew McConaughey is surprisingly quite funny in this as well...
'At least you get to choose yours'
