Get some!

Rating: 9/10 (17 November 2012)

Not many actors can direct a movie and star in it simultaneously. Ben Affleck did it in "Argo" and Clint Eastwood in "Gran Torino", so Stiller should be honored to join their ranks. This movies skates along the line of satire and meta-plot lunacy, but not recklessly enough to ruin itself like some movies have *cough* Rubber *cough*. And by gum, I think it's a work of art, Monet-style. Robert Downey Jr. as an Aussie-turned-dark-skinned hothead actor, Jack Black as an accent-confused pale eel, and of course, the lovable Jay Baruchel as himself, but with a gun! There's an awesome cameo as well, but you probably know that by now.
If you asked me, the ending TiVo scene was too much of a stretch, but that hardly affects the movie at all. It's a raucous and wonderful take on war films, and I hope it's not the last from Stiller.
