Pretty stupid and irreverent, and HILARIOUS - just make sure you have a good sense of humor going in to it

Rating: 9/10 (10 April 2017)

I don't even know where to start with this movie. It's silly, and hits on pretty much every major stereotype of all different races, on Hollywood, and the Vietnam War. If any of this offends you, don't watch the movie. If you can laugh at yourself, then you will enjoy it immensely. This movie is insanely quotable like many of my favorite comedies. The characters all have great one liners, but I have to say for me Robert Downey Jr. makes this movie. He plays Kirk Lazarus, method actor, playing Sgt. Lincoln Osiris...in blackface. Like I said, you have to bring your best sense of humor to this movie, but the brilliant thing is that they acknowledge the implications of everything they make fun of, and then continue to make fun of it. The other black character in the movie, Alpa Chino, calls Kirk Lazarus out every time he says something stereotypical. You only have to look at the names of all of the characters in the film to see that there is no stone left unturned, so to speak, when it comes to recognizing stereotypes. Another personal favorite character of mine is Tom Cruise's character Les Grossman (who is arguably my favorite Tom Cruise character of all time because he doesn't take himself seriously for once) as the unscrupulous, vulgar Hollywood executive who only cares about getting his cut for making the movie. The movie ends with a gangsta rap dance sequence in his fat suit, which to me is totally worth it even if you don't like the rest of the movie. If you're into smart stupid humor, you'll enjoy this movie.
