Is this supposed to be funny?

Rating: 2/10 (28 November 2011)

This movie has some nice explosions, but that's all. Otherwise it is very boring and somewhat bizarre lesson about psychopathology of movie actors. It cannot be described in any other way. Ben Stiller is quite inept storyteller and director - and this movie shows it in the most brutal way.
The movie had interesting premise and even some actually funny scenes, but I counted less than five of them (including "fake trailers" at the start of the movie). Most of the movie is actually filled with nonsense talks about problems of the actors that may be probably funny if you are an actor yourself or you do study acting. For me as non-actor it was only extremely boring experience when I watched actors babbling some weird psycho stuff. I do understand why someone finds funny crazy movies, even movies with disgusting jokes, but it is really beyond my mind how anyone can actually enjoy dialogs that remind me of intellectual Swedish theater plays. This is no Hot Shots for sure! What's most interesting the movie remains boring even in its "action" parts and remains to be completely unfunny and uninteresting to the very end.
I watched TV recording of this movie so I could fortunately fix this "experience" by deleting it. It is not worthy of memory space nor time of the viewer. I'm so happy I had not pay a dime for watching it, because I would felt robbed by Ben Stiller!
