What the .... ??

Rating: 4/10 (24 October 2008)

I saw all the rave here on IMDb, the great rating, the wonderful cast, the funny idea ...
A while later, I finally saw the movie and I have no idea what the hype is all about.
I love Stiller and Black, basically I have seen every movie they starred in, and I liked most of them. I also like Downey, especially since Iron Man.
And I admit, Tom Cruise was somewhat funny, even though I recognized him right away.
But after that, there's not much left. A highly confusing and only mildly entertaining script, right away idiotic stunts like McConaughey showing up in the middle of the jungle with his TiVo. All in all, not what I was expecting. Not even a fraction of it.
Since I am mellow today, I give it four points, one for Stiller, one for Black and one for Downey. Only because I like them as actors. And one extra for Cruise for being funny.
