Side hurt laughing...

Rating: 9/10 (7 October 2008)

I really loved this movie. There is a lot of harsh language - but if you don't mind that then you'll love the movie.
I already knew that I was going to love Ben Stiller in the movie. There are not too many movies that he is in that I have not almost peed my pants laughing... but the fact that Robert Downey Jr. plays a black guy is great - for a few scenes you cannot even tell that it is him. Which is just awesome to me. Shows how diverse of an actor he truly is. And he was FUNNY!!! So Funny!!! To me, one of his best lines in the movie was when he was mentioning other movies: Check it out. Dustin Hoffman, 'Rain Man,' look retarded, act retarded, not retarded. Counted toothpicks, cheated cards. Autistic, sho'. Not retarded. You know Tom Hanks, 'Forrest Gump.' Slow, yes. Retarded, maybe. Braces on his legs. But he charmed the pants off Nixon and won a ping-pong competition. That ain't retarded. Peter Sellers, "Being There." Infantile, yes. Retarded, no. You went full retard, man. Never go full retard. You don't buy that? Ask Sean Penn, 2001, "I Am Sam." Remember? Went full retard, went home empty handed...
But the shock factor that I was NOT expecting and had NOT read about (I try not to read about movies that I really want to see) was Tom Cruise as an old balding fat guy. hahahaha. I have NEVER laughed at any role that he played. But this role had me cackling... It was great. But -- there is not one line that he said that didn't have harsh language. :)
All the actors did great! If you like funny movies, and don't mind harsh language then see this movie!!!!
