Some real laughs!

Rating: 7/10 (22 March 2012)

The actors make this movie funny, which is great, they just play it so well. Robert Downey Jr. is tops, there are some scenes here that are laugh out loud funny. Tom Cruise's minor role is also hilarious. Matthew McConoughey really surprised me, I didn't know he had such a knack for comedy, his role really balanced out the movie for me, great stuff. Jack Black was OK, he has some really disturbing scenes that are sort of funny sort of not. Ben Stiller... OK, he does the Ben Stiller thing, it's OK, it's not hilarious so much as goofy and off beat.
It was fun seeing these great actors really going over the top and seeing it work so well, especially Robert Downey Jr., he went way over the top and it was bang on.
