Robert Downey Jr.

Rating: 8/10 (25 August 2008)

This movie is hilarious! The view will immediately know that this movie is not going to win Best Picture but, that isn't the goal of this movie. The goal of this movie is to entertain. Yes, entertain. The forgotten verb in film-making, that is still a major reason why people watch movies.
Ben Stiller did a great job bringing something of quality to a overdone, movie spoof genre. Too often these type of movies substitute production quality to deliver underachieving satire. Not so here.
Robert Downey Jr. is amazing in this movie. I still picture this man as the cocaine addicted, Hollywood problem child. His recent movies, starting with "Iron Man" have definitely helped change this image. He is absolutely hysterical in this film.
In addition to Mr. Downey, the entire cast was hilarious, including the roll of "He who must not be named to those who haven't seen this movie yet!" I definitely recommend this movie to anyone who likes to be entertained. Just be warned that this movie is a full "R" rating.
