Okay but not great

Rating: 6/10 (24 August 2008)

I love Ben Stiller and totally loved Robert Downey Jr. in this movie and even (shock) loved Tom Cruise. Still. i didn't find the movie the move offensive (c'mon people, it's 2008 -- movies nowadays poke fun at everyone at some point and this movie was harmless stupid humor). What really bothered me is that I just felt it all fell flat. It had it's tremendously funny moments, but as far as laugh out loud moments, they were few and far between. And sadly, at one point, i found myself checking the time which is never a bad sign. Something seemed terribly disconnected and I find it unrelatable to audiences who don't get "insider jargon" in the movie business.
