Possibly One of the Best Comedies of 2008!!

Rating: 9/10 (30 December 2009)

Damn, 2009 has two contenders for best comedies of the year!! This is surprisingly pulled off largely due to Ben Stiller, who wrote, directed, and yes, duh, starred in a leading role. What we get is somewhat a parody of Hollywood and its stars today, especially with the first few opening scenes; which includes the film's highlight (lol), a advertisement for a energy drink vividly named "Booty Sweat". Effin hilarious!! The entire time this movie is rolling you will be dying with laughter. It's just that funny.
Though is also due to the fact that we have mainstream actors, who usually see in dramas and action flicks, starring in rather ridiculous roles. Such as Robert Downey Jr. "who's playin' a dude pretending to be another dude who's actually another dude." Lmao, but still, he's an Australian actor who went as far as to get surgery in order to play a black character, a gig he holds up till near the climax of the film. Others such as Tom Cruise, Matthew McConaughey, and Nick Nolte also star. This is one of the most star studded comedies you'll ever see.
The comedy regulars also appear, of course, what would the film be without Jack Black, in the film a crack addict of all things. Also is Danny McBride, who also starred in "Pineapple Express". This film is nowhere near as violent as Seth Rogen-and-James Franco duo but nonetheless has some decent action in it. It seems these days directors believe audiences would like an overall mixing of action and comedy, which to me is all good. And the audiences don't seem to mind either. In the end I seem to favor "Pineapple Express", but don't get me wrong, this film is definitely not one to miss either.
